全球软件开发人员的个性特征

Personality Profiles of Global Software Developers

Sherlock A. Licorish, Stephen G. MacDonell

摘要:

背景:个人的人格特质已经被证明会影响他们在团队工作中的行为。特别是,积极的团队态度对于分布式和全球软件开发工作至关重要,因为协作对于项目成功至关重要。目的:鉴于此,我们试图从心理语言学的角度来研究全球软件从业者的个性特征的影响。方法:从IBM Rational Jazz存储库中选择并挖掘来自十个团队的工件。我们采用了社会网络分析(SNA)技术来识别和分组从业者到两个集群的基础上,他们沟通的消息的数量,顶级成员和其他,并使用标准的统计技术来评估从业者的工作项目相关的任务变化的参与。然后,我们使用LIWC工具的语言维度对从业者的信息进行心理语言学分析,该工具先前与大五人格特征相关。结果:对于我们的样本146从业者,我们发现,顶级成员表现出更开放的经验比其他从业者。此外,参与可用性相关任务的从业者被发现是高度外向的,编码员是最神经质和尽责的。结论:高水平的组织和人际关系技能可能对那些在分布式环境中工作的人有用,个性多样性可能会提高团队绩效。

英文摘要:

Context: Individuals' personality traits have been shown to influence their behavior during team work. In particular, positive group attitudes are said to be essential for distributed and global software development efforts where collaboration is critical to project success. Objective: Given this, we have sought to study the influence of global software practitioners' personality profiles from a psycholinguistic perspective. Method: Artifacts from ten teams were selected from the IBM Rational Jazz repository and mined. We employed social network analysis (SNA) techniques to identify and group practitioners into two clusters based on the numbers of messages they communicated, Top Members and Others, and used standard statistical techniques to assess practitioners' engagement in task changes associated with work items. We then performed psycholinguistic analysis on practitioners' messages using linguistic dimensions of the LIWC tool that had been previously correlated with the Big Five personality profiles. Results: For our sample of 146 practitioners, we found that the Top Members demonstrated more openness to experience than the Other practitioners. Additionally, practitioners involved in usability-related tasks were found to be highly extroverted, and coders were most neurotic and conscientious. Conclusion: High levels of organizational and inter-personal skills may be useful for those operating in distributed settings, and personality diversity is likely to boost team performance.
