The results of this study revealed a correlation between leaders’personality traits and levels of organizational commitmentin Apparel and/or Consumer Packaged Goods organizations. Data were collected from 50 leaders in these organizations, along with 204 of their associates in the New York and New Jersey area.
Using the Hogan Personality Inventory, the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), and a demographic survey, the data were collected. Leaders were comprised of Director and Vice President level managers. These leaders completed the Hogan Personality Inventory, which measured five distinct areas of personality: Ambition, Adjustment, Sociability, Interpersonal Sensitivity, and Prudence. Associates reporting to these leaders completed the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, rating their own levels of organizational commitment. Evidence supported the reliability and validity of both leader personality and organizational commitment models and instruments.
This research study concluded there is a significant relationship between leaders’ personality traits and associates’ levels of organizational commitment. Specifically, leaders’ Interpersonal Sensitivity and Adjustment personality traits both influence and shape associates’ levels of organizational commitment. The remaining personality traits examined showed weak relationships with organizational commitment. Statistical data and implications for the findings are included.
