In the employee recruitment process, companies' most difficult thing is measuring prospective employees' character and attitudes. Various attempts and ways have made to measure the individual character and attitude of a prospective employee. Still, these cannot be 100% accurate so that when the recruitment process is finished problems will arise. Individual characteristic factors and attitudes will affect the performance of both individual employees and the overall company performance. Performance is crucial for the organisation because high performance can certainly reduce absenteeism or unemployment due to laziness. With high performance from workers and employees, the work is assigned to it will be completed effectively and efficiently. This literature study analyses explicitly the relationship between individual characteristics, attitudes and motivation to employee performance. Many researchers have discussed performance but still, have little to do with personal characteristics and employee attitudes. This study uses a qualitative approach by reviewing 30 articles or journals from various sources and fields of industry and services. This study is expected to provide solutions theoretically and empirically to develop employee performance and company performance by looking at the relationship between individual characters, attitudes, and employee training programs to increase employee motivation, which impacts overall company performance.
