The relationship between a leader's personality and his team's performance has been established in organisational research, but the underlying process and mechanism responsible for this effect have not been fully explored. Both the traditional multiple linear regression and the multilevel structural equation model approaches were used in this study to test a proposed mediating model of subordinates' perception of collective efficacy between leader personality and team performance. The results show that the team leader's extraversion and conscientiousness personality traits were related positively to both the team-average (individual) perception of collective efficacy and team performance, and the collective efficacy mediated the relationship of the leader's personality traits and team performance. This study also discusses how Chinese cultural elements play a role in such a mediating model.
领导者的个性与其团队绩效之间的关系在组织研究中已经得到确立，但导致这种效应的潜在过程和机制尚未得到充分探索。本研究采用传统的多元线性回归和多层次结构方程模型方法，检验了下属对集体效能的感知在领导者个性与团队绩效之间的中介模型。结果表明，团队领导的外向和尽责个性特征与团队平均（个体）对集体效能的感知以及团队绩效呈正相关，而集体效能则中介了领导者个性特征与团队绩效之间的关系。本研究还讨论了中国文化元素在这种中介模型中所起的作用。
