Abstract: | In a series of three studies, a four-level hierarchical model of personality was employed to identify the antecedents and
three validating criteria of a newly developed trait labeledjob resourcefulness (JR). JR is defined as an enduring disposition to garner scarce resources and overcome obstacles in pursuit of job-related
goals. Across three service contexts, JR was shown to predict customer orientation, self-rated performance, and supervisor-rated
performance. The results also revealed that the hierarchical model accounted for more variance in performance ratings than
one version of the 5-Factor Model of personality. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for selecting high-performing
service employees.
