Kompetenciaalapú coping és a személyiség kapcsolatának vizsgálata
Exploring the relationship between competency-based coping and personality

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study is to examine the relationships between the Big Five personality dimensions and selected elements of the Spencer–Spencer competency model in relation to coping strategies applied in stressful situations. The research focuses on exploring how stable personality traits and developable competencies contribute to the formation of adaptive or maladaptive coping patterns. The study was conducted using a quantitative research design on a heterogeneous sample of 112 participants. Data collection included the assessment of the Big Five personality dimensions, relevant competency clusters of the Spencer–Spencer (1993) model, and coping strategies used in stress-related situations. Data analysis was carried out using correlation analyses and statistical methods to examine the relationships among the variables. The results revealed significant relationships between personality dimensions, competencies, and coping strategies. Extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness showed positive associations with several competencies and adaptive coping strategies, whereas neuroticism demonstrated negative correlations across all examined domains. Cognitive restructuring was primarily related to positive personality traits, while tension-reduction coping was more characteristic of individuals with high levels of neuroticism. These findings are consistent with recent international research results (Gashi et al., 2023; Liu & Boyatzis, 2021). The practical implications of the study highlight the importance of systematic assessment of personality and competency profiles in organizational development, leadership training, and mental health prevention. Particular emphasis is placed on self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and stress management training programs, which may contribute to strengthening resilience and promoting effective, adaptive coping strategies.
