This article describes my journey as an organizational behavior scholar, including reflections on the state of the field of organizational scholarship. I organize the article into two main sections. First, I provide my autobiographical review, beginning with my early years and ending with the five universities where I have been employed in my career. Second, I provide a set of observations about the state of the organizational sciences, focusing specifically on the two areas of my most significant focus—personality and leadership—as well as offering some general observations about the field. The organizational sciences have seen many positive advances: Research is more rigorous theoretically and methodologically, and more concern is devoted to replication and research ethics. However, partly owing to prioritizing these advancements over other concerns, new problems have developed, and other long-standing concerns have been exacerbated. I discuss my own changing perspectives on these issues and present some thoughts on how they might be addressed.

视角的变化和对变化的看法：对职业生涯的反思


本文描述了我作为一名组织行为学者的旅程，包括对组织学术领域现状的反思。我将本文分为两个主要部分。首先，我提供我的自传回顾，从我的早年开始，到我在职业生涯中工作的五所大学结束。其次，我提供了一组关于组织科学状况的观察，特别关注我最关注的两个领域——个性和领导力——并提供了一些关于该领域的一般观察。组织科学已经取得了许多积极的进步：研究在理论和方法上更加严谨，并且更加关注复制和研究伦理。然而，部分由于将这些进步置于其他问题之上，出现了新的问题，其他长期存在的问题也加剧了。我讨论了我自己对这些问题不断变化的看法，并就如何解决这些问题提出了一些想法。
