This article critiques earlier views on dispositional research, suggesting its importance for understanding behavior in organizations.
In this article we reply to Davis-Blake and Pfeffer's (1989) critique of dispositional research in organizational behavior and their suggestions for what it would take for dispositional research to make a valid contribution to the field. Based on a review of studies of different populations in various settings and the different assessments of dispositional we conclude that the evidence presents a compelling argument for incorporating dispositional theory into explanations of behavior in organizations.
