Structure in the Workplace

Flexible: People lower in structure tend to be more concerned with outcomes than following rules and procedures. They tend to be more comfortable with trial and error to achieve results.

Process-Oriented: People higher in structure prefer order and precision. They tend to follow rules and procedures. They desire accuracy and thoroughness.

HighMatch’s Assess solution helps organizations determine what levels of assertiveness are critical for success in each job by looking at the characteristics of top performers.

Employees whose talents fit the job are more productive, happier and stay longer.

Measuring Structure

in an Interview

During the interview, you can gauge a candidate’s structure by asking them to describe how they handled past situations.

  • You could ask for a few examples of past work situations when they had few procedures to follow and they were able to use their own ingenuity to improve the way the job was done. Flexible candidates would likely enjoy the freedom, while structured candidates would likely view this as a negative.
  • You could also posit that some jobs are highly structured with well-defined procedures that must be followed to achieve the end goal, while others are more open-ended. Ask which one they prefer along with examples.

HighMatch provides interview questions tailored to each candidate. Each guide offers questions based on each person’s personality, making it easy for you to ask informed questions.

Having trouble diving deeper into your candidates’ potential? Our Interview solution offers a playbook for consistent, objective questions to help you have better interviews.


The HighMatch Personality Assessment

HighMatch directly measures Structure, among six other core personality traits, as part of its core personality assessment provided through our Assess solution.

Our workplace psychologists can conduct a benchmark study to understand what qualities are most critical, analyze the qualities of top performers, and then develop a customized Job Profile that includes personality traits, abilities, and skills.

That Job Profile is used to develop the scoring and weighting mechanism for the assessment, helping to identify whether the person is a high, medium, or low fit for the job.
