	abstract = {Purpose {\textendash} We investigated the relationship between personality and managerial assessment center (AC) dimensions, emphasizing age{\textquoteright}s moderating role within volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity (VUCA) simulations.
Design/methodology/approach {\textendash} We analyzed 327 managers and applied the AC method, examining areas like social skills, problem-solving, management and goal striving, openness to change, employee development using the VUCA framework.
Findings {\textendash} We assessed personality metatraits through a questionnaire based on the circumplex model (CPM; Strus, Cieciuch, \& Rowinski, 2014), identifying four bipolar metatraits. Results highlighted passiveness and disharmony as negatively correlated with all managerial AC dimensions, with passiveness adversely affecting social skills and problem-solving.
Originality/value {\textendash} Age{\textquoteright}s moderating role emerged as pivotal in the relationship between personality and managerial AC dimensions, especially in specific VUCA contexts. This underscores age{\textquoteright}s influence on the interplay between personality and managerial efficacy, suggesting varying predictive capabilities across age groups. The research illuminates the complexities of these relationships, spotlighting age{\textquoteright}snuanced impact.},
