Abstract We examine the effects of both bright side and dark side personality characteristics on leadership performance. Specifically, three profiles are evaluated using meta-analyses from datasets (K = 6; N = 881) containing bright side personality variables, dark side personality variables, and leadership performance ratings. Using three leadership models, we created profiles using: (a) bright side marker HPI scales only; (b) dark side marker HDS scales only; and (c) a combination of HPI and HDS scales. All profiles produced positive results, with individuals who fit the profiles receiving significantly higher leadership ratings than those who did not. Standardized group mean difference scores were .33 for the bright side profile, .36 for the dark side profile, and .44 for the combination leadership profile. These results demonstrate the value of selecting for positive personal characteristics while selecting out characteristics detrimental to effective leadership performance. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
Profile Analyses 3 Profile Analyses of Personality-Leadership Performance Relations Leadership requires taking personality seriously because leadership, personality, and personality assessment are necessarily related. How leaders view themselves is difficult to measure with any scientific certainty; how observers view them is easy, reliable, and valid. Prior to the appearance of Judge, Bono, Ilies, and Gerhardts (2002) meta-analysis of five-factor model personality measures and leadership effectiveness, the literature suggested that personality factors had only modest influence on leadership effectiveness. Because of the difficulties involved in measuring leadership effectiveness, we approached the topic from the opposite viewincompetence. This tactic has several advantages since there is no shortage of failed managers/leaders, they can be identified by observers, and their characteristics can be mapped empirically using well-validated personality assessments. The assertion that there are flawed leaders has gone from the unthinkable to the obvious. Issues of contemporary business journals describe the practices of failed executives; entire volumes appear on personality factors associated with leader derailment (cf. Dotlich & Cairo, 2003). Some of these writings are a rediscovery of Bentzs (1985) research on management incompetence among failed Sears executives. Bentz identified seven themes in flawed managers who were otherwise bright, socially skilled, and identified as high-potential: (1) unable to delegate or prioritize; (2) being reactive rather than proactive; (3) unable to sustain relationships; (4) unable to build a team; (5) having poor judgment; (6) being a slow learner; and (7) having an overriding personality defect. Center for Creative Leadership researchers replicated and refined Bentzs original findings. McCall, Lombardo, and Morrison (1988) and Leslie and Van Velsor (1996) summarize their findings about managerial failure with four themes: (1) problems with interpersonal Profile Analyses 4 relations; (2) failure to meet business objectives; (3) inability to build a team; and (4) inability to adapt to transitions. Since Judge et al.s (2002) definitive identification of positive personality factors associated with leadership effectiveness and an emerging literature on negative personality characteristics associated with ineffectiveness, it is possible to assimilate these perspectives into a comprehensive character model of leadership competence. The current research investigated and compared three approaches for predicting leadership outcomes: (a) predicting leadership with bright side personality measures; (b) predicting leadership with dark side personality measures; and (c) predicting leadership with a combination of both. We anticipated that each type of measure would predict performance but, because both have implications for distinct components of leadership behavior, the greatest degree of overall leadership effectiveness prediction would be achieved when both bright side and dark side measures were used simultaneously. Specifically, we proposed and tested the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: A profile constructed from bright side personality measures will be significantly related to leadership performance. Hypothesis 2: A profile constructed from dark side personality measures will be significantly related to leadership performance. Hypothesis 3: A profile constructed from both bright side and dark side personality measures will be significantly related to leadership performance. Hypothesis 4: A profile constructed from both bright side and personality measures will be more highly predictive of leadership performance than profiles that use only one type of personality measure.
Profile Analyses 5 Method Measures Bright Side Personality. Most important bright side personality characteristics can be described in terms of the Five-Factor Model (FFM; cf. De Raad & Perugini, 2002; Digman, 1990; Goldberg, 1992; John, 1990, p. 72; McCrae & Costa, 1987; Wiggins, 1996). The FFM is comprised of five dimensions that represent how we think about and describe people (Goldberg, 1990): I. Surgency/Extraversion - the degree to which a person seems outgoing and talkative. II. Agreeableness - the degree to which a person seems pleasant and rewarding to deal with. III. Conscientiousness the degree to which a person complies with rules, norms, and standards. IV. Emotional Stability - the degree to which a person appears calm and self-accepting. V. Intellect/Openness to Experience - the degree to which a person seems creative and open- minded. The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI; R. Hogan & Hogan, 1995) was used for this study to assess bright side characteristics of personality. The HPI was developed specifically to predict real-world outcomes such as job performance and assesses the FFM in occupational life within a normal population. The HPI contains seven primary scales that are aligned with the FFM as follows: I. Adjustment the degree to which a person is steady in the face of pressure, or conversely, moody and self-critical (FFM: Emotional Stability). II. Ambition the degree to which a person seeks status and values achievement (FFM: Profile Analyses 6 Extraversion). III. Sociability the degree to which a person needs and/or enjoys social interaction (FFM: Extraversion). IV. Interpersonal Sensitivity the degree to which a person is socially sensitive, tactful, and perceptive (FFM: Agreeableness). V. Prudence the degree to which a person is concerned with self-control and conscientiousness (FFM: Conscientiousness). VI. Inquisitive the degree to which a person seems imaginative, adventurous, and analytical (FFM: Intellect/Openness). VII. Learning Approach the degree to which a person enjoys academic activities and values education as an end in itself (FFM: Intellect/Openness). The seven dimensions of the HPI are assessed using 206 true-false items. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the scales are as follows: Adjustment (.89/.86), Ambition (.86/.83), Sociability (.83/.79), Interpersonal Sensitivity (.71/.80), Prudence (.78/.74), Inquisitive (.78/.83), and Learning Approach (.75/.86). Dark Side Personality. The Hogan Development Survey (HDS; R. Hogan & Hogan, 1997) was used for this study to assess dark side characteristics of normal personality. The dark side personality characteristics measured by the HDS represent flawed interpersonal strategies that (a) reflect peoples distorted beliefs about others, and (b) negatively influence careers and life satisfaction (Bentz, 1985; R. Hogan & Hogan, 1997; Leslie & Van Velsor, 1996). Behavioral manifestations of dark side personality measures emerge during times of stress or Profile Analyses 7 when people let their guard down. These dispositions reflect maladaptive behaviors that coexist with bright side personality characteristics. In the context of personnel selection, the HDS identifies applicants whose behavior, over time, will erode relationships with others because of flawed interpersonal strategies. The HDS is designed to assess 11 dysfunctional dispositions that can impede job performance and lead to career difficulties: I. Excitable concerns being initially enthusiastic about people or projects, and then becoming disappointed with them. Result: seems to lack persistence. II. Skeptical concerns being socially insightful, but cynical, mistrustful, and overly sensitive to criticism. Result: seems to lack trust. III. Cautious concerns being overly worried about making mistakes and being criticized. Result: seems resistant to change and reluctant to take chances. IV. Reserved concerns seeming tough, remote, detached, and hard to reach. Result: seems to be a poor communicator. V. Leisurely concerns being independent, ignoring others requests, and becoming irritable if they persist. Result: seems stubborn, procrastinating, and uncooperative. VI. Bold concerns seeming entitled and having inflated views of ones competence and worth. Result: seems unable to admit mistakes or share credit. VII. Mischievous concerns being charming, but manipulative and ingratiating. Result: seems to have trouble maintaining relationships and learning from experience. Profile Analyses 8 VIII. Colorful concerns being dramatic, engaging, and attention-seeking. Result: seems preoccupied with being noticed and may lack sustained focus. IX. Imaginative concerns thinking and acting in interesting, unusual, and even eccentric ways. Result: seems creative but often lacking good judgment. X. Diligent concerns being conscientious, perfectionistic, and hard to please. Result: tends to disempower staff and subordinates. XI. Dutiful concerns being eager to please and reluctant to act independently. Result: tends to be pleasant and agreeable, but reluctant to support subordinates and co-workers. The eleven dimensions of the HDS are assessed using 168 agree-disagree items that have no psychiatric or mental health content. Principal components analysis of the HDS yields three clearly defined factors that support interpreting the inventory in terms of Horneys (1950) taxonomy of flawed interpersonal characteristics (R. Hogan & Hogan, 2001). The average alpha for the scales is .67 and test-retest reliabilities range from .58 to .87. The test manual documents the instruments development and psychometric properties. Leadership Performance. The criteria used for this study was leadership performance. Although performance ratings varied by sample, each contained at least one item for assessing global leadership performance (e.g., leads by example) or multiple items used to construct an overall leadership scale. All ratings were provided by supervisors who were knowledgeable of the targets job performance.
Profile Analyses 9 Profile Construction We constructed and subsequently evaluated three personality-based predictor profiles. The first profile, which was consistent with Judge et al.s (2003) approach of focusing on leadership bright side characteristics, used bright side personality scales that have been found to be predictive of leadership performance. The second profile corresponded to Bentzs (1985) and McCall et al.s (1998) approach of focusing on derailing behaviors, particularly those characterizing problems with interpersonal relations (i.e., volatile, aloof, cold, overly ambitious, and arrogant). The final profile used both bright side and dark side personality scales to predict leadership performance. Bright Side Profile. In reviewing the Hogan Archive, which contains results from over 200 criterion studies conducted over the past three decades, Foster and Hogan (2005) identified 35 studies using the HPI to predict performance for leadership jobs. Results from applying Hunter and Schmidts (1990) meta-analysis methods to validation studies (K = 35; N =3751) indicated that four HPI scales had correlations with overall performance for managers and executives at = .10 or higher: Adjustment ( = .22), Ambition ( = .31), Interpersonal Sensitivity ( = .15) and Prudence ( = .13). These results provided the architecture for constructing a leadership profile based upon bright side personality characteristics. The HPI technical manual (R. Hogan & Hogan, 1995) stipulates that, in evaluating scores on the HPI, one rule of thumb is to interpret scores above the 65 th percentile high and scores below the 35 th percentile low (p. 49). Because the four scales used to construct the Bright Side Profile are positively related to job performance, we labeled individuals falling above the 35 th
percentile on each scale as having high leadership potential whereas those falling below the 35 th
percentile on any of the four scales were labeled as having low leadership potential. Profile Analyses 10 Dark Side Profile. Foster (2006) applied Hunter and Schmidts (1990) meta-analysis methods to studies from the Hogan Archive (K = 12; N = 1,058) to determine relationships between HDS scales and managerial job performance. Six HDS scales were related to performance at = .10 or higher: Excitable ( = -.18), Skeptical ( = -.19), Cautious ( = -.17), Bold ( = -.10), Mischievous ( = -.15), and Imaginative ( = -.20). These results provided the architecture for constructing a leadership profile based upon dark side personality characteristics. According to the HDS technical manual (R. Hogan & Hogan, 1997), scores at or above the 90 th percentile are considered high on the HDS. The implications of high scores on the HDS, in general, are undesirable. Because each of the six scales used to construct the Dark Side Profile are negatively related to job performance, we labeled individuals falling below the 90 th
percentile on each scale as having high leadership potential whereas those falling above the 90 th
percentile on any of the six scales were labeled as having low leadership potential. Total Leadership Profile. To determine the effectiveness of both bright side and dark side personality measures in predicting leadership performance, a comprehensive leadership profile was constructed using scales from both the HPI and HDS. Previous research indicates incremental validity of the HDS measures over the HPI in predicting leadership performance, with multiple Rs ranging from .31 to .56 (Davies, Hogan, Foster, & Elizondo, 2005). Davies et al. (2005) explored the predictive power of both bright side and dark side personality measures for use with the Leadership Domain Model (R. Hogan & Warrenfeltz, 2003; Warrenfeltz, 1995). This model synthesizes existing competency models into the domains of Intrapersonal Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Technical Skills, and Leadership Skills. These four domains form a hierarchy of trainability, with earlier skills being harder to train than later skills, Profile Analyses 11 and serve as the a basis for personnel selection, training, and performance evaluation (J. Hogan, Davies, & Hogan, in press; R. Hogan & Warrenfeltz). The structure of this performance model is presented in Table 1. Previous research outlining relationships between personality predictors and job performance (Davies et al., 2005; Foster & Hogan, 2005; J. Hogan, Davis, & Hogan, in press) was used to align both HPI and HDS scales with performance competencies specific to each of the four domains and these appear in Table 2. As seen in Table 2, each of the HPI and HDS scales used to construct the first two profiles relate to specific areas of leadership performance. The Total Leadership Profile was constructed using cutoff scores at the 35 th percentile for four HPI scales (Adjustment, Ambition, Interpersonal Sensitivity, and Prudence) and the 90 th percentile for six HDS scales (Imaginative, Excitable, Skeptical, Reserved, Bold, and Cautious). Individuals falling above the 35 th percentile on each of the HPI scales and below the 90 th percentile on each of the HDS scales were coded as having high leadership potential whereas those failing to meet any of these cuts were coded as having low leadership potential. Analytical Approach A series of meta-analyses (Hunter and Schmidts, 1990) were conducted to determine the leadership predictiveness of each profile. Studies included in the Hogan Archive met six criteria: (a) data were gathered from job incumbents for the purpose of criterion validation; (b) job incumbents held leadership positions; (c) HPI data were collected; (d) HDS data were collected; (e) job performance data were collected; and (f) job performance rating data included a rating of leadership ability. Profile Analyses 12 Six studies were identified meeting these criteria (N = 810). For each dataset, individuals were coded as high leadership potential versus low leadership potential based on: (a) the Bright Tide Profile; (b) the Dark Tide Profile; and (c) the Total Leadership Profile. Group mean differences, expressed in standard deviations [i.e., Cohens (1962) d], were calculated based on each profile. Then, these effect sizes were meta-analyzed to determine the predictability of each profile. Results Table 3 shows the group mean differences for each profile examined in each of the six datasets used for this study. As seen, the results for all three profiles were in a positive direction across nearly all six studies, indicating that each profile effectively predicted leadership ratings. The one exception to this finding came from using the Bright Side Profile for a single small sample study; it is likely that a lack of power contributed to the discrepancy associated with this result. The results presented in Table 4 indicate that the Bright Side Profile, the Dark Side Profile, and the Total Leadership Profile all effectively predicted leadership performance, with effect sizes frequently nearing or falling within the moderate range, described by Cohen (1962) as .50 to .80. Meta-analytical results for difference scores are presented in Table 4, which indicates positive effects were found with both the Bright Side and Dark Side Profiles, with estimated population parameters of = .33 and = .36 respectively. To test Hypotheses 1 and 2, 95% confidence intervals were reviewed. Lower limit confidence intervals for both profiles were greater than .00 (.24 and .26, respectively), thereby supporting Hypotheses 1 and 2. Results for the Total Leadership Profile were higher, with a population parameter of = .44. To test Hypothesis 3, 95% confidence intervals were again reviewed. As seen in Table 4, Profile Analyses 13 the lower limit confidence interval for the total leadership profile was greater than .00 (.35), thereby supporting Hypothesis 3. Population parameters were examined for Hypothesis 4. As shown in Table 4, the population parameter estimating the group mean leadership rating scores was higher for the Total Leadership Profile than for either the Bright Side or Dark Side Profiles, thereby supporting for Hypothesis 4. Together, these results clearly support the usefulness of both bright side and dark side personality measures in predicting leadership performance. Furthermore, the greatest predictability was obtained using the Total Leadership Profile representing both bright side and dark side personality characteristics. Discussion These results demonstrate that both bright side and dark side personality measures can be used to construct leadership profiles identifying high performers at both practically and statistically significant levels. Furthermore, a profile consisting of scales from both inventory types produced the greatest predictability, indicating that both bright and dark side personality measures should be used to develop comprehensive leadership profiles. These results are particular impressive given that a standard, generic set of cutoff scores was used to assess each profile across each of the six datasets examined for this study. In most applied settings, the validity of a specific set of cut-scores will vary based upon job characteristics. Best practices in validity research require a full job analysis and the development of a specific selection profile based upon a number of contextual factors relating to the KSAs required for successful job performance and the context in which the job is performed (J. Hogan, Davies, & Hogan, in press). The variability of difference scores presented in Table 3, along with the percentage of variance accounted for from each profile presented in Table 4, Profile Analyses 14 suggest that the profiles used for this study were more effective at predicting leadership performance for some jobs than others. From a meta-analytical perspective, these results indicate the presence of moderators that influence the relationship between the profiles examined and job performance across samples. From a practical perspective, these results indicate that more effective profiles could be constructed for some, if not all, of the jobs examined in this study. The purpose of the current study was not, however, to demonstrate methods for obtaining the largest possible effect size through the use of personality profiles. Instead, we sought to compare standardized, generic profiles constructed using bright side, dark side, and a combination of the two types of personality measures. As expected, both bright side and dark side personality measures were effective at predicting leadership performance. Moreover, a combination of both types of personality measures resulting in the greatest predictability, suggesting that traits associated with both effective leadership behaviors and those associated with ineffective or maladaptive behaviors are useful in predicting leadership performance in organizational settings. This study provides a number of directions for future research. First, as noted above, it would be worthwhile to examine other profiles that may be more effective in predicting leadership performance. Although it is almost certain that profiles customized to fit the needs and context related to a specific job would produce greater effect sizes in the forms of group mean performance differences, it is also possible that alternative generic profiles would also be more effective across jobs. For example, the current profiles employed equal cut-scores to each scale found to be predictive of performance from both the HPI (greater than or equal to the 35 th
percentile on each scale) and the HDS (less than the 90 th percentile on each scale). It may be Profile Analyses 15 beneficial to explore other possibilities, such as giving greater weight (i.e., more stringent cuts) to scales that have higher correlations with job performance. Finally, because strengths of the current research were the use of multiple samples and meta-analytical methods, it also may be beneficial to reexamine these analyses on more samples as they become available. The increasing use of both the HPI and HDS for the prediction of leadership performance, as well as other personality assessments, should provide a rich source of data for the further examination of the issues presented in this research and the generalizibility of these findings in the future.
