In terms of manner of data collection, the present research is considered as a descriptive-correlative study and also in terms of purpose, it is considered as an applied research which is carried out under field methods. The population of this research includes the staff and customers of governmental and private pools of the province of Kurdistan. The number of the staff is equal to 135 individuals and according to the Morgan’s chart, the sample number was determined as 100 individuals. Since this research includes two separate populations, and only the number of the staff of pools is known; the method of synchronization is employed and the same amount of samples is considered for customers as well. For the purpose of data collection, Gregory C. Petty’s (1990) questionnaire of ethics including 23 questions and the factors of interest in work, perseverance, human relations at work environment and collaboration in work was used. The validity of this questionnaire is approved by 15 sports management professors and also its reliability was calculated as 0.81 by the Cronbach’s Alpha method. For evaluation of customer satisfaction, the Huang’s questionnaire including 19 questions and the components of visuals and looks of the club, personnel, facilities and current equipment. Its validity and reliability are respectively calculated as 0.78 and 0.86. In addition, the short form of questionnaire of personality characteristics was used: aimed at evaluation of players’ personality characteristics, the short for of the NEO questionnaire including 60 questions was used. This questionnaire was developed by Caste and McCree in 1982. The first translation of this questionnaire into Persian language was prepared by Kiamehr (2005). This test evaluates 5 major personality characteristics which include Neuroticism (N), extraversion (E), openness of mind towards experiences (O), Agreeableness (A), and conscientiousness (C). The Cronbach’s alpha method has calculated reliability of different aspects of this questionnaire in the range of 0.63 to 0.84.

Efficient and valid assessment of personality traits: population norms of a brief version of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI)2015 •
Aim of the studyThe NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), a well-established 60-item questionnaire based on the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality, provides a valuable framework for the interdisciplinary approach to personality research and clinical practice. In response to the need for briefer personality measures, a 30-item version of the NEO-FFI (NEO-FFI-30) was developed and its factor structure replicated.Subject or material and methodsThe study examines the psychometric quality of NEO-FFI-30 and provides population-based norms (n=1908 adults). Reliability coefficients, kurtosis, skewness, correlations and effect sizes illustrate the psychometric properties of the measure.ResultsThe relationships between neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness and sociodemographic characteristics confirm previous research findings and speak to the validity of the brief version. Namely, women report higher neuroticism and agreeableness. Younger individuals indica...
TPQ® TECHNICAL MANUAL - 2023 EDITION
Townsend Personality Questionnaire Technical Manual, 1st Edition2023 •
The Townsend Personality Questionnaire (TPQ®) is based on the Five Factor Model of personality and was developed and validated using Rasch measurement. The Five Factor Model, often referred to as the ‘Big Five’ (Ewen, 1998, p.140), represents the most widely acknowledged general model of personality (Betram and Brown, 2005). It incorporates five different variables into a conceptual model for describing personality (Popkins, 1998). The five-factor theory is among the newest models developed for describing personality and has demonstrated that it is among the most practical and applicable models available in the field of personality psychology (Digman, 1990). The Big Five are collectively a taxonomy of personality traits. In essence, a framework for understanding which traits go together. They are an empirically based phenomenon, not a theory of personality (Srivastava, 2006). It is based on language since language itself is the structure with which we frame and understand the world around us (Lucius, 2008). There are various, well structured, psychological assessments in circulation using the big-five as the basis for their construction notably, Dr Tom Buchanan’s IPIP Five Factor Personality Inventory, the Hogan Personality Inventory, and the NEO assessments. However, despite traditional methods demonstrating both reliability and validity when measuring personality (Surgency or Extraversion (.91); Agreeableness (.88); Conscientiousness (.88); Constancy (.91), and Intellect or Imagination (.90)), there is a fundamental gap in the way all these measures are constructed as well as a lack of appropriate terminology for application in the real-world context (clinical and organisational). The TPQ® is designed to address these gaps. It does so by developing a personality measure, based on the big five model, that complies with the assumptions of linearity and conjoint additivity and reframes the constructs in more accessible language for use in personal development, clinical practice, as well as the South African workplace. While being based on a global, well-established model of personality, it has specific application for the South African context. It has been validated in the South African context and is currently being translated into all the other South African official languages.
