Description
The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between different personality characteristics (i.e., Agreeableness, Extroversion, Conscientiousness, Openness, and Neuroticism) and servant leadership traits (i.e., Standing Back, Accountability, Forgiveness, Courage, Humility, and Stewardship) with emotional intelligence as a moderating factor. The current study will look at existing data from the Cognition and Leadership Development Lab, specifically leaders across different organizational context and their scores on the Big Five Inventory (BFI) (Benet-Martinez & John 1998), the Servant Leadership Scale (SLS) (Van Dierendonck, 2010), and the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding (STEU) (MacCann & Roberts, 2008) as the moderating variable. The methodology for this study will consist of performing a regression analysis in SPSS on cross-sectional data to analyze the strength and correlation with the moderating variable. There are three predictions that are anticipated; leaders who are high in agreeableness on the BFI will be high in forgiveness on the SLS, leaders who are high in extroversion on the BFI will have a positive relationship with stewardship and courage on the SLS, and leaders who are high in consciousness will be high in accountability and humility and STEU will act as a moderator for these predictions. The last prediction is that those who are high in neuroticism will have a negative correlation with courage on the SLS without moderation of the STEU.
