Abstract
Being grounded in similarity-attraction theory, this study explicates that (dis)similarity in
personality traits among rater-ratee dyads has a deep effect on ratee feedback-seeking
behavior. Data were collected from 156 matched rater-ratee dyads working with a
multinational beverage company and a telecommunication organization of Pakistan. The
findings from polynomial regression analysis revealed that rater-ratee dyadic personality
congruence (extraversion and agreeableness) enhanced ratee feedback-seeking behavior.
Moreover, ratee feedback-seeking behavior enhanced the rater-ratee dyads and were
similar in normatively negative traits (introvert and disagreeable), compared to when
they were dissimilar. The study concludes that in order to completely grasp the
knowledge about ratee feedback-seeking behavior, the dyadic personality configurations
need to be considered simultaneously
