“…The binary logistic regression results suggested that only two traits were important. The first was Ambiguity Acceptance which has been shown to be related to a wide number of positive work-related behaviors (Cuppello et al, 2023a(Cuppello et al, , 2023bFurnham & Impellizzeri, 2021;Teodorescu et al, 2017).…”

“…The HPTI was developed to measure personality at work and has some overlap with the Big Five (five factor model) on three traits (Cuppello et al, 2023a(Cuppello et al, , 2023b and includes three additional traits, shown to be related to success in a variety of jobs (Teodorescu et al, 2017). The first is Conscientiousness characterized by self-discipline, organization, educational and business success, and ability to moderate one's own impulses (Barrick et al, 2001).…”

In this study, we were concerned with the correlates of stock market (SM) participation. In all, 1,202 working adults indicated whether or not they invested in the stock market, and which was split almost equally between those that did and did not. We were interested in the extent to which their demography (age, sex, education), self-assessed wealth, as well as personality traits predicted their participation. We used a six-factor robust measure of work personality (High Potential Trait Indicator). Correlational analysis indicated that the strongest correlation of stock market participation were wealth, sex, age, and trait Risk Tolerance. We then did a binary logistic regression which indicated that being male increased the odds of having invested in the stock market by 91%, and an increase of 1 year in age increased the odds by 3%. Ambiguity Acceptance and trait Competitiveness were among the High Potential Trait Indicator personality variables that were significant predictors of stock market investment. Implications and limitations are acknowledged.

“…The HEXACO personality assessment tool incorporates an additional trait known as honesty-humility, which encompasses the qualities of fairness, honesty, and humility (Dåderman et al, 2022). Simultaneously, the High Potential Trait Inventory (HPTI) incorporates the four primary dimensions of the "Big Five" personality traits, namely openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, alongside two additional factors: tolerance of ambiguity, which pertains to the cognitive processing of novel experiences, and risk approach or courage, which refers to the capacity to confront or mitigate negative or aggressive emotions (Cuppello et al, 2023).…”

“…Additionally, the leader's ability to influence subordinates to achieve their goals is another important criterion for evaluation (Do & Minbashian, 2020). Lastly, the leader's promotion within the organization also plays a role in assessing their effectiveness (Cuppello et al, 2023).…”

The analysis of the relationship between personality traits and leadership effectiveness has been a central area of investigation within organizational psychology for an extended period. This review aims to examine the impact of fundamental personality traits on leadership effectiveness. Based on empirical findings derived from the Five-Factor Model (FFM), it has been observed that specific personality traits, namely conscientiousness and emotional stability, exhibit consistent associations with effective leadership behaviors. Conscientious leaders exhibit traits such as organization, diligence, and responsibility, which in turn contribute to enhanced decision-making capabilities and the successful execution of projects. Emotional stability enables leaders to effectively manage and navigate the various stressors encountered in the workplace, demonstrating composure and a clear understanding of the situation. Openness to experience, a personality trait identified in the Five-Factor Model (FFM), has the potential to facilitate innovative thinking and adaptability, both of which are crucial for effectively navigating the dynamic challenges of the business environment.Nevertheless, it is widely agreed upon that these characteristics hold significant value. Nonetheless, the ideal equilibrium of these traits differs depending on the specific circumstances, sectors, and societal norms. There is also evidence from research suggesting that situational factors and individual experiences may moderate the influence of personality.In summary, personality traits are a fundamental framework for assessing leadership potential. However, it is essential to recognize that the expression and influence of these traits are complex and varied, thus necessitating a comprehensive approach to cultivating leadership skills. This systematic review aims to compile a comprehensive body of evidence spanning thirteen years, focusing on the impact of personality traits on leadership performance. The study examines various personality traits, including extroversion, approachability, receptivity to new experiences, neuroticism, conscientiousness, narcissism, honesty-humility, approach to risk, and tolerance of ambiguity. A significant positive correlation was observed between effectiveness and all traits mentioned above except neuroticism and, in certain instances, narcissism. The results of our study can serve as a basis for future investigations in this field.

What sort of people like to work from home (WFH)? In this study 1185 adults from different sectors and countries completed a work-related personality test (HPTI) and a self-esteem measure as well as indicating their preference for WFH. Correlations showed that those who were less Adjusted, Conscientious, and Risking Taking showed a preference for WFH. The regression suggested the strongest indicator was sex, degree status, and trait Conscientiousness. We split the sample by sex, age and education and reran the six regressions. Conscientiousness was consistently significant, though other personality factors were important for non-graduates. Explanations and implications of this finding are discussed. The limitations of a cross-sectional study using only self-report data is acknowledged.
