According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, personality disorders are characterized by functional impairment, which may unfold in the work environment. A number of empirical studies convincingly suggest that the presence of personality dysfunction has substantial negative and diffuse effects on work functioning. However, not all studies are in agreement. In addition, there may be specific mediating variables that modulate the likelihood that an individual with a personality disorder will experience work difficulties. These include the type of personality disorder, degree of neuroticism and disagreeableness, extent of social dysfunction, and severity of symptoms-all of which appear to be interrelated. Because employment generally promotes an individual's stability, further research into these variables is essential.
根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》，人格障碍的特征是功能受损，这可能在工作环境中显现出来。一些实证研究有力地表明，人格功能障碍的存在对工作功能有重大的负面影响且影响广泛。然而，并非所有研究都达成一致。此外，可能存在特定的中介变量，调节人格障碍患者出现工作困难的可能性。这些变量包括人格障碍的类型、神经质和不随和的程度、社会功能障碍的程度以及症状的严重程度——所有这些似乎都是相互关联的。由于就业通常会促进个人的稳定性，因此对这些变量进行进一步研究至关重要。
