Personality is an important factor that determines how an individual will behave in the work environment, in groups or in an organization.During the second half of the 20th century, situational factors were seen as the most important determinants of an individual's work success, while less attention was generally paid to the personality. The initial low reliability of personality tests contributed to shifting the focus to situational variables.Personality traits are undoubtedly an important determinant of the choice of an organization and influence the behavior of individuals in the work environment, shaping individual work success but also group processes and group success and numerous other behaviors that have implications for the achievement of the company's goals. Based on our research conducted on 30 teams in Serbia, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between the team evaluation (expressed through the measure of work performance assessment and work behavior characteristics) and the personality of the team members. More precisely, those teams that have a more stable and "healthier" personality structure of the members function better and more efficiently. Therefore, the evaluation of the team's success is not influenced by one individual personality characteristic and its combination in the members, but by a common set of personality characteristics. We found the general personality factor that affects the evaluation of the efficiency and success of teams appears and explains 18% of the variance of the team's efficiency, that is, the assessment of work performance!
