Abstract
Summary The relationship between individual characteristics and performance under different situational environments was investigated. The study examined the reaction of 83 male and female undergraduate students performing a complex task under exposure to varying situational conditions. Significant interaction was found between the individual characteristics and the environment in which they were asked to perform, thus providing some insight into the lack of a consistent relationship between personality characteristics and performance. Specificially, the results indicated that high n-Ach individuals performed better than low n-Ach individuals under very unfavorable situations. Additionally, under fairly favorable situations students with high grade point averages performed better than those with low grade point averages, but there were no significant differences between the two groups when the situation was very unfavorable.
