Abstract:
We explore the relationship between the Big Five personality indicators of employees and their respective preferred leadership style of management. We sampled employees in a city in the Midwest USA. The results include a profile of personality traits and how those traits relate to preferred leadership styles. We borrowed the Big Five and measures of three models of leadership: Participative, Autocratic, and Laissez-Faire. The results show people who are extroverted also prefer a participative style leader, those who are open to new experience do not prefer an autocratic style leader, and female employees prefer laissez-faire leadership style.
