Personality differences as predictors of action-goal relationships in work-email activity

作者：

Highlights：

• Work-email actions differ because people strive towards different but trait-relevant goals.

• Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Neuroticism predict work-email goal-striving.

• A comprehensive list of 72 work-email actions, related to four key work-email goals are presented.

• One-size-fits-all email policies are misplaced; tailor work-email use to individual goals.
