　　48. In the hiring process, it is more difficult to assess personality and work habits than

　　to determine work experience and educational background. Even so, it is important to

　　try and judge the less quantifiable characteristics of a prospective colleague or

　　employee―such as honesty, reliability, creativity, self-motivation, and the capacity to

　　get along and work well with others. If it doesnt seem obvious that these are important

　　qualities in a coworker, then consider the alternatives.

　　First of all, dishonest or unreliable workers harm an organization in many ways.

　　Dishonest employees impose costs on a company whether they steal on the grand or

　　small scale: jus; taking a few days of unwarranted sick leave here and there can add up

　　to significant lost productivity. And lying about progress on a project can result in

　　missed deadlines and even lost contracts. Unreliability works the same way; if an

　　employee cannot meet deadlines or fails to appear at important meetings, the

　　organization will suffer accordingly.

　　In addition, coworkers who lack motivation or creativity take some of the life out

　　of an organization. To the extent that employees simply plug along, the company will be

　　less productive In contrast, employees who have imagination and the motivation to

　　implement ideas are productive and can spark those around them to greater

　　achievement.

　　Finally, employees who cannot get along with or work well with others can as

　　well be detrimental to the organization. The mere presence of a troublemaker is

　　disruptive; moreover, the time such people spend on petty disagreements is time away

　　from getting the job done successfully. In addition, those who cannot smoothly

　　coordinate their efforts with others will end up making things more difficult for

　　everyone else.

　　In conclusion, it may not be easy to Judge the personality traits and work habits of

　　prospective employees, but it certainly is worth the effort to try. Having coworkers who

　　are honest, reliable, creative, self-motivated, compatible with one another and good

　　team players will greatly enhance everyones work life, and benefit a organization In the

　　most significant way―with greater productivity.
