This study integrates leadership process models with process models of personality and behavioral personality science to examine the behavioral-perceptual pathways that explain interpersonal personality traits' divergent relation to group leadership evaluations. We applied data from an online group interaction study ( = 364) alternately assigning participants as leaders conducting brief tasks. We used four variable types to build the pathways in multiple mediator models: (a) Self-reported personality traits, (b) video recordings of expressed interpersonal behaviors coded by 6 trained raters, (c) interpersonal impressions, and (d) mutual evaluations of leadership emergence/effectiveness. We find interpersonal big five traits to differently relate to the two leadership outcomes via the behavioral-perceptual pathways: Extraversion was more important to leadership emergence due to impressions of assertiveness evoked by task-focused behavior being strongly valued. Agreeableness/emotional stability were more important to leadership effectiveness due to impressions of trustworthiness/calmness evoked by member-focused/calm behavior being stronger valued.
本研究将领导过程模型与人格过程模型及行为人格科学相结合，以检验行为-感知路径，这些路径解释了人际人格特质与团队领导评价之间的不同关系。我们应用了一项在线团队互动研究的数据（N = 364），将参与者交替分配为领导者来执行简短任务。我们使用四种变量类型在多重中介模型中构建路径：（a）自我报告的人格特质，（b）由6名经过培训的评分者对所表现出的人际行为进行编码的视频记录，（c）人际印象，以及（d）对领导能力出现/有效性的相互评价。我们发现，人际大五人格特质通过行为-感知路径与两种领导结果存在不同的关系：外向性对领导能力的出现更为重要，因为专注于任务的行为所引发的果断印象受到高度重视。宜人性/情绪稳定性对领导有效性更为重要，因为以成员为中心/冷静的行为所引发的可信赖/冷静印象受到更强的重视。
