Are Managers Honest and Modest? Analysis of Preferences of Managerial Position by Means of Hexaco Personality Test
Original language description
Objective of this paper is to explore whether the preference of a managerial position (MP) is predicted by the predisposition to unethical behavior (UB), measured by the Fairness and Sincerity. On the sample of 157 undergraduate students of business we analyzed preferences for the MP (expressed in the frame of leaderless group discussion) in relation with the score in four personality traits of Fairness (F), Sincerity (S), Greed-avoidance (GA) and Modesty (M), defined by HEXACO-PI-R, using logistic ordinal regression model. Results show that the preference of MP is significantly predicted by GA (p < 0,001) and M (p < 0,01), both negatively. Hence the preference of a MP and predisposition to UB are determined by different psychological mechanisms, on the contrary to some management myths.
