Two experiments supported the identification of key sources of performance variance in the context of hypothetical decision-making scenarios. The first of these strongly supported acceptance of \u003Cem\u003EWREM\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rsquo;s core personality and situational factors as important sources of performance variance. The second experiment generally confirmed the significance of \u003Cem\u003EWREM\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rsquo;s core factors and further indicated that the preponderance of performance variability resulted from key interactions between personality and situational factors.
