by Salter, Charles R., Ph.D., OUR LADY OF THE LAKE UNIVERSITY, 2006, 113 pages; 3318399

Abstract:

This research was designed to link traits from the 5-factor model of personality (the Big 5) by utilizing the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), to a followers' perception of the leadership style of George W. Bush, based on Bass & Avolio's (1995) MLQ5X. A voluntary sample was taken consisting of undergraduate and graduate students from three universities in the San Antonio, Texas area. Thus the sample size was N = 303. Neuroticism was the only Big 5 Personality trait which was found to have a significant relationship to respondent's leadership ratings of George W. Bush, as measured by the Full Range Model of Leadership. Also, the ancillary variable Good Leadership had a positive effect on respondent's ratings of the leader as a transformational leader and as a less passive leader.
