Answer to Question 2

Self-serving bias is the tendency for people to attribute success to themselves and failure to external causes (i.e., factors outside of their control). As a result, this bias leads people to report that their own behaviors and personality traits are more needed for successful job performance compared to behaviors and personality traits of others.
