The right relationship is everything: Linking personality preferences to managerial behaviors

Abstract

Individual differences and personality factors have reemerged as some of the more important research topics in the applied organizational sciences. With the increasing prevalence of executive coaching and the use of personality assessments, more research needs to be done on the impact of personality variables on managerial behaviors in the workplace. The following study provides an applied analysis of personality preferences and behavioral ratings collected for a developmental multirater feedback intervention based on 343 senior managers and others in a research-driven global health services organization. Results revealed modest personality-behavior relationships, many of which were consistent with Myers-Briggs Type Indicator theory and research; differences by observer perspective were also evident. Implications for HRD practice are discussed. © 2000 by Jossey-Bass, A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
