The instruments used in the study included Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (Peterson & Seligman, 2003), the Task Performance Checklist (Byrne et al. 2005) and the Contextual Performance Checklist (Conway, 1999). The results of the stepwise regression analysis indicated that the character strengths of open- mindedness, spirituality and social intelligence predicted task performance, and that the character strengths of gratitude and open- mindedness predicted contextual performance
