AHFE Open AccessThe Importance of Integrating Personality as a Topic in Crew Resource Management Training
Abstract
Current maritime Crew Resource Management (CRM) courses cover a wide range of relevant topics, such as communication and leadership style, but content specifically addressing individual differences and personality is not mandatory. This paper draws on personality profile data from 457 container ship officers to illustrate how general knowledge and insights about personality, traits, and individual profiles can be integrated into CRM courses to initiate meaningful discussions and reflections. We conclude that such integration will enrich CRM learning outcomes by deepening participants’ understanding of the relationships between personality, behaviour, and team dynamics. Moreover, it can enhance overall safety and performance by enabling officers to recognise and reflect on personality differences, thereby empowering them to influence their own working conditions and team performance.
