    The adoption of organizational practices is known to be elementary in the creation of sustained competitive advantage for the multinational corporation (MNC). In this study, we explore the role of the subsidiary managers' personality in the adoption of practices mandated by a corporate headquarters to subsidiary units in a large European MNC. We analyzed 130 cases of practice adoption a large European MNC and found that managers' core self-evaluation (CSE) is a significant factor with respect to the implementation of practices. In addition, the empirical findings suggest that the organizational context moderates the relationship between managers' personality and practice adoption. The study contributes to the emerging literature on the role of individual's personality in practice adoption and the microfoundations of knowledge transfers in large organizations.
