Most research examining the relationship between effective leadership and personality has focused on individual personality traits. However, profiles of personality traits more fully describe individuals, and these profiles may be important as they relate to leadership. This study used latent class analysis to examine how personality traits combine and interact to form subpopulations of leaders, and how these subpopulations relate to performance criteria. Using a sample of 2,461 executive-level leaders, six personality profiles were identified: Unpredictable Leaders with Low Diligence (7.3%); Conscientious, Backend Leaders (3.6%); Unpredictable Leaders (8.6%); Creative Communicators (20.8%); Power Players (32.4%); and Protocol Followers (27.1%). One profile performed well on all criteria in an assessment center; remaining profiles exhibited strengths and weaknesses across criteria. Implications and future directions for research are highlighted.
大多数研究有效领导力与个性之间关系的研究都聚焦于个体的个性特质。然而，个性特质概况能更全面地描述个体，并且这些概况可能因其与领导力的关联而具有重要意义。本研究使用潜在类别分析来考察个性特质如何组合与相互作用以形成领导者亚群体，以及这些亚群体如何与绩效标准相关联。以2461名高管级领导者为样本，识别出六种个性概况：低勤奋度的不可预测型领导者（7.3%）；尽责的后端型领导者（3.6%）；不可预测型领导者（8.6%）；有创造力的沟通者（20.8%）；权力玩家（32.4%）；以及遵循规范者（27.1%）。在一个评估中心，有一种概况在所有标准上表现良好；其余概况在各项标准上展现出优势与劣势。文中强调了研究的意义及未来方向。
