Trait activation theory (TAT) suggests that the way personality translates into behavior depends on the situation strength in organizations in terms of clarity, consistency, constraints, and consequences is True.

Explanation:

Trait Activation theory is based on a specific model of job performance and can be considered an elaborated or extended view of personality-job fit. Specifically, "trait activation," is the process by which individuals express their traits when presented with trait-relevant situational cues. These situational cues may stem from organization, social and/or task cues. These cues can activate personality traits that are related to job tasks and organizational expectations that the organization values (i. e., job performance). These cues may also elicit trait-related behaviours that are not directly related to job performance.
