Research on personality in leadership indicates that self-selection to leadership careers and artistic careers correlates with diverging personality profiles. People in leadership careers traditionally display lower neuroticism and higher conscientiousness than artistic individuals. In between, there are individuals entering arts management careers. To study these individuals directly, we collected Norwegian data from 91 musical theater students and 102 arts management students and compared with 109 business management students. As expected, conscientiousness and neuroticism predicted artistic careers against business management careers, aligned with the "arts for arts' sake" myth of artists. Interestingly, arts management careers were not different from artistic careers. They weren't more motivated to take on leadership roles than performing artists either. However, the Highly Sensitive Person Scale indicated that narrower traits of sensitivity predicted higher levels of motivation to lead in many artists. Some arts and arts management students seem to bring unique talents into forms of leadership particularly useful for artistic organizations. Our findings are discussed in terms of how leadership characteristics operate in the field of art, and the effect of domain-specific characteristics in this setting.
关于领导力中的人格研究表明，自我选择进入领导职业和艺术职业与不同的人格特征相关。传统上，从事领导职业的人比从事艺术的人表现出更低的神经质和更高的尽责性。介于两者之间的是进入艺术管理职业的人。为了直接研究这些人，我们收集了来自91名音乐剧学生和102名艺术管理学生的挪威数据，并与109名商业管理学生进行了比较。正如预期的那样，尽责性和神经质预测了艺术职业与商业管理职业的差异，这与艺术家“为艺术而艺术”的观念相符。有趣的是，艺术管理职业与艺术职业并无不同。他们担任领导角色的积极性也不比表演艺术家更高。然而，高敏感人群量表表明，在许多艺术家中，更狭义的敏感特质预示着更高的领导积极性。一些艺术和艺术管理专业的学生似乎将独特的才能带入了对艺术组织特别有用的领导形式中。我们从领导力特征在艺术领域如何运作以及特定领域特征在这种情况下的影响方面讨论了我们的发现。
