Prototype to express the compatibility of
two topsharing candidates
According to recent studies, employees in part-time positions reduce their chances of a career.
This is despite good qualifications and experience. Additionally, employers are increasingly
struggling to fill positions in specialist and management positions. The aim of the present work
was to develop a compatibility proof which makes a statement about the fit of the personality
characteristics of two potential topsharing partners. This was included as the core of the
prototypes, which were discussed with employers and employees. The aim was to find out how
far it can contribute to reducing scepticism, building trust and willingness to pay. 9 successful
topsharing couples completed the Neo-28 online assessment based on the big-5, which laid the
foundation for defining the rules and matching logic. The results were then triangulated with
the available literature. The ideal expression of the global dimensions differed from the
literature for the global dimension “openness to experience” (within the same or directly
adjacent index, <=47; 42-52; 52-58; >=58). The literature recommends values between rather
high and high (>=53). For the remaining four global dimensions “extraversion” (rather high to
high values, >=53), “compatibility” (rather high to high, >=53). “conscientiousness” (rather
high to high values, >=53) and “neuroticism” (rather low to low, <=47) the statements could be
partially confirmed. The literature recommends rather low values for the dimension
"neurocitism" (<=42-47). For “extraversion” and “conscientiousness”, values from average to
rather high (48-58) and for “compatibility” rather high values (53-58). The characteristics of
the global dimensions can be classified as homogeneous. These rules, including those of the
subdimensions, were summarized as a compatibility proof, which subsequently represented the
core of the developed prototype. The compatibility of potential topsharing couples was shown
in percentages and in Y out of X, with each of the global and sub-dimensions weighted equally.
Furthermore, it could be shown that the present platform can contribute to the reduction of
skepticism and to the building of trust in the topsharing model among employers as well as
employees. Both are willing to pay for the platform. The amount was not quantifiable on the
side of the employers. Employees were willing to pay between CHF 100 and CHF 120 for
different features. In conclusion, although good quality proof of compatibility is appreciated, it
is not decisive for the choice of counterpart or tandem.
