Abstract
This study examined how Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and its components influence job performance.
BPD is theorized to adversely affect the generation of task strategies in the workplace which
results in poor job performance. In this study, 180 college students completed the Borderline Scale from
the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI-BOR; Morey, 1991) followed by a work-related simulation.
While none of the facets of BPD related to task strategy, the composite of borderline negatively related
to task strategy, which was positively related to task performance. Thus, borderline appears to have an
indirect effect on task performance through task strategy.
