Abstract
This study tested the validity of the use of personality tests with ap titude tests as predictors of performance for 203 warehousers using an interactive model. Results indicated cognitive ability explained a si gnificant 2% of the variance in performance, with the interaction betw een cognitive ability and personality explaining a significant increme ntal 9% of the variance in performance. These results indicate a need to expand our models of the relationship between personality character istics and job performance.
