    The Influence of Personality Domains and Working Experience in Peruvian Managers’ Leadership Styles: An Initial Study
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) D'Alessio, Fernando
    The purpose of this quantitative investigation is to examine the relationships that may exist among the five personality domains, working experience, and the three leadership styles in a sample of 500 managerial Master of Business Administration (MBA) students of a leading business school in Peru. Similar studies have previously been performed in developed countries; well-known examples come from the United States of America, Norway, Germany, Australia, Canada, and Singapore, but no such studies are found in a developing country. The Neuroticism Extraversion Openness to Experience Personality Inventory Revised (NEO-PI-R) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) were the instruments used for personality and leadership, respectively. In this sample, conscientiousness demonstrates the strongest and most consistent correlation with transformational (.426 ), transactional (.43 0), and passive-avoidant (-.354 ) leadership styles. Extraversion has the next highest correlation with transformational (.400) leadership styles and a weak correlation with transactional (.152) and passive-avoidant (-.166) leadership styles. Agreeableness has no significant correlation with any of the leadership styles, and openness to experience shows a significant correlation only to transformational (.201) leadership styles. Neuroticism shows weak correlations with transformational (-.214 ) and passive-avoidant (.26 7) leadership styles. Conscientiousness and extraversion may encourage individuals to emerge as leaders. Transformational and transactional leadership behaviors are demonstrated more frequently with increasing working experience.

    Influence of Ethics and Integrity in Peruvian Managers’ Leadership Styles: A Doctoral Research Proposal
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. CENTRUM, 2008) Cielo, Juan
    Scientific interest in the leadership process has increasingly paid attention to the issues of ethics and integrity. Communities served by leaders are demanding a more ethical and inclusive leadership style. The purpose of this research proposal is to examine the relationship between ethics orientations and integrity types, as independent variables, and Peruvian managers’ leadership styles, as the dependent variable. The research method involves a literature review of leadership theories, leadership styles, ethical orientations, and integrity types. The research model includes transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles; deontological and teleological ethical orientations; and intelligence and moral integrity types. The study will use a quantitative approach with hypotheses related to the relationships between variables. The empirical examination will be applied to Peruvian managers. The psychometric instruments will be the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5x - MLQ 5x (Bass & Avolio, 2004), Ethics Perspective Case Survey (Ampofo, 2004), Perceived Leader Integrity Scale - PLIS (Craig & Gustafson, 1998 ), and Aronson’s Integrity Questionnaire (Aronson, 2003). Demographic information collected will be age, gender, educational level, and the number of years with the present company. Data analyses will include the use of statistical techniques such as the distribution of frequencies and descriptive statistics such as the median, mode, standard deviation, variance, Cronbach alpha, correlation, factorial analysis, scale of confidence, and multiple regressions. The software, namely, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.15 ), and AMOS v.6 will be used. The research will test the relationships between deontological and teleological ethical orientations, intellectual and moral integrity types, and leadership styles.
