The Classification of the Korean Executives Based on the Derailing Factors of Personality, and its Relationship with Big 5 and Leader Behavior

Abstract

The goal of the present study was to investigate the relationship between derailing factors(ego-centered, manipulation, micro-management, intimidating, passive-aggressive), the dark side of leadership that makes top-level managers derail, and Big Five personality factors. Second, this study aimed to classify the executive-level managers into several subgroups based on the 5 derailing factors of personality and to investigate exploratively if there are significant differences in their Big Five personality factors among classified subgroups of executives. Third, our purpose was to investigate the relationship between derailing factors and leadership style. The 177 Korean executive sample was collected from 9 Korean companies, and they completed the GPI developed by PDI. The correlation analysis showed significant positive correlation between ego-centered among derailing factors and Big 5 factors, and significant negative correlations between both agreeableness and conscientiousness and the other four derailing factors. Result of LCA(Latent class analysis) based on derailing factors showed that three types were most appropriate to classify the executives: ‘passive-aggressive type’, ‘low-manipulation type’, and ‘high-risk type’. Finally, the relationship between ‘intimidating’ and effective task leadership rated by subordinates had an inverted U shape, and ‘intimidating’ had a significant negative relationship with effective interpersonal leadership.
