Ms. Melissa Pia D Costa, Dr. Tina D Cunha

Abstract :

 

Personality refers to an individual’s characteristic style, behavior, mindset, attitude and his/her own unique way of perceiving things and seeing the world. Strong managers lead by example — they exhibit positive traits that set expectations for their employees. The present study titled, ‘Personality traits and leadership styles among Managers in Goa’ assessed the relationship between personality and leadership styles among 72 managers from the Hospitality, Pharmaceutical and Manufacturing Industries. The tools for data collection were the Personal data sheet, Neo Five – Factor Inventory (Form S - Adult) by Paul T. Costa and Robert R. McCrae and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (form 6s) by B. M. Bass and B. J. Avolio (1992). The data was classified, tabulated and statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 20). Results indicated significant correlations between personality types and styles of leadership in the sample group.
