Summary/Abstract: Objective. To compare some psychometric characteristics of the Hexaco-100 questionnaire by K. Lee and M. C. Ashton used in the selection situation and for comparison in the non-selective situation. Method. The sample of candidates in the selection situation (N = 173) and the non-selection hospital staff (N = 63). Results. Applicants in the selection scored higher in the dimensions of extraversion, conscientiousness and lower in the emotionality. They achieved lower Cronbach α scores in emotionality and conscientiousness. Overall, internal consistency of both samples was lower than Cronbach α in the foreign comparison samples. Cronbach α for Altruism was very low. Conclusions. In the selection situation, we recommend except the Hexaco-100 to check the conscientiousness and emotional stability by another method; interpretation of altruism is not recommended; data in the honesty-humility factor are applicable for selection situation. For the next research, we recommend verifying the internal consistency and factor structure of the Slovak translation. The benefit of the study lies in real field data. Limitations. The limits of the research study are in the difference between selection and nonselection sample.
