“…Third, no relationship was found between personality traits of middle-leaders: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experiences and TL. These results are surprising since previous research showed that agreeableness and openness to experience are predictors of TL (Lopez-Perry, 2020). Perhaps, the trait activation theory (Tett and Burnett, 2003) may offer an explanation; traits reflect behavioral tendencies in people, but the expression of these traits in behaviors can also be affected by the situation (Hu and Judge, 2017).…”

“…The focus on both TL and its sub-dimensions leans on current research (Tepper et al, 2018), emphasizing the differential correlation of TL sub-dimensions to employee work-related outcomes. The Big Five typology was proposed as an antecedent to middleleaders' TL because studies have shown that the Big Five dimensions correlate to TL (Lopez-Perry, 2020). Although recent research has shown that leaders' personal traits are critical components in leading a team effectively and promoting employee behaviors (Benoliel, 2017(Benoliel, , 2021bHu and Judge, 2017), few studies in the educational context have focused on the differential impact of the Big Five typology on middle-leaders' tendency toward the sub-dimensions of TL and its implications for teachers ' commitment. This investigation can make several important contributions to the educational research.…”

PurposeThe present study aimed to investigate whether the sub-dimensions of transformational leadership are differently influenced by middle-leaders’ personality traits from the Big Five typology, namely, extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, agreeableness, and neuroticism, and whether the sub-dimensions of transformational leadership influence teachers' professional and organizational commitment differentially.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from two sources: 114 middle-leaders and 282 teachers randomly chosen from elementary schools in Israel. Hierarchical regression analyses and structural equation modelling were used to test the research hypotheses.FindingsFirst, the findings indicated that the teachers perceived their middle-leaders as transformational leaders without distinguishing between the sub-dimensions. Second, transformational leadership was positively correlated to teachers' professional and organizational commitment. Finally, positive relationships were found between the middle-leaders personality traits of agreeableness and openness to experience and teachers’ commitment. The study findings point to two paths to facilitate teachers' professional and organizational commitment, either through the middle-leaders transformational leadership or their personality.Originality/valueAlthough recent research has shown that leaders' personal traits are critical components in leading a team effectively and promoting employee behaviors, few studies in the educational context have focused on the differential impact of the Big Five typology on middle-leaders’ tendency toward the sub-dimensions of transformational leadership (TL) and its implications for teachers' commitment. By integrating research from both educational and non-educational literature, the goal of the present study, then, is to address these important yet relatively unstudied issues.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to discern the combination of personality traits that most contribute to effective leadership styles in individuals belonging to Generation Z.Design/methodology/approach: We utilized a structural equation model to analyze data from 244 higher education students in Mexico. This approach allowed us to examine the relationship between personality traits, leadership styles, and perceived effectiveness.Findings: Our findings indicate that the transformational leadership style is the most impactful among Generation Z individuals. Furthermore, the personality traits of openness and conscientiousness emerged as the most influential in relation to effective leadership styles.Research limitations/implications: Despite valuable insights, limitations exist due to small sample size (n=244) from one institution, restricting generalizability. The cross-sectional nature provides a snapshot, not accounting for societal/technological shifts affecting Generation Z over time. Self-reported data may suffer from biases. The cultural context focuses solely on a Mexican educational setting. Future research calls for larger, more diverse samples across institutions/countries with longitudinal data to offer enhanced, nuanced understanding of evolving leadership and personality traits within Generation Z.Practical implications: Organizations could enhance effectiveness by fostering transformational leadership among Generation Z employees through coaching/training programs tailored for this cohort. Academically, business curricula would benefit from integrating insights on aligning leadership styles with inherent personality traits.Social Implications: Transformational leadership emergence within Generation Z may propagate leaders equipped to drive innovation, convey visionary goals, and evoke follower commitment to address pressing societal issues.Originality/value: To our knowledge, this study represents the first investigation within the Mexican context examining the interplay of personality traits, leadership styles, and effectiveness among Generation Z individuals.

“…Transformational leadership is one of the most influential current leadership theories not only in management theory generally (Felfe & Schyns, 2010;Judge & Bono, 2000;Procházka & Vaculík, 2015) but also in education (Dababneh et al, 2021;Kaliská, 2019;Lopez-Perry, 2020;Sollárová et al, 2019). Already Leithwood (1994) has suggested that there is some empirical support for using the transformational leadership model in school restructuring initiatives.…”

Based on the need to reform the Slovak education system, it is useful to review teachers in the role of potential leaders whose task within the system is to contribute to positive change. The paper presents an analysis of differences in transformational leadership styles between Slovak secondary school teachers and Slovak managers. The research sample, obtained by the method of intentional and available selection, consisted of teachers in secondary education (n = 142) and managers in the manufacturing sector at various levels of management (n = 117). The data was obtained using the Slovak version of the LPI / Leadership Practices Inventory (Kouzes & Posner, 2017), the five dimensions of which showed satisfactory internal consistency in both groups of respondents (Cronbach α from .65 to .84). The results of the leadership style comparisons using the Kouzes and Posner LPI indicate statistically significant differences in favour of Slovak teachers compared to Slovak managers in all dimensions except ‘Enable others to act’. The results are discussed in terms of the respondents’ gender, their length of practice and the nature of their job. The research study is limited mainly by the size of the sample, its selection and the use of self-assessment scales.
