SILVIA MOSCOSO RUIBAL

Silvia Moscoso Rubial is a Professor at the University of Seville, affiliated with the Faculty of Labor Relations and the Department of Political Science and Sociology. She is part of the HR Human Resources and Performance research group. Her research focuses on personnel selection, personality psychology, job performance, and counterproductive behaviors. She earned her Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 1999 with a thesis on interview construct validity.

Her work emphasizes the application of meta-analytic techniques to study personality traits (e.g., Big Five, Dark Triad), cognitive reflection, and their implications for workplace behavior and academic misconduct. Key themes include the validity of structured behavioral interviews, the impact of subjective well-being on job performance, and the role of technology in workplace stress (technostress).

Publications highlight her contributions to understanding faking effects in personality assessments, the cross-cultural validity of performance metrics, and legal aspects of equal-opportunity personnel selection. She has collaborated on studies addressing affirmative action, procedural justice, and the suppression effects in statistical models linking well-being and performance.

Her research integrates both theoretical and applied perspectives, aiming to inform sustainable practices in human resources, education, and organizational psychology.
