IntroductionIthasbeenfifteenyearssincethepublicationofJudge’s(2002)seminalworkonPersonalityandLeadership:AQualitativeandQuantitativeReview.Cited2,152times in Google scholar this work rekindled scholarly interest in the field ofpersonality and leadership theory. A vast amount ofwork has been publishedsincethen.This research paper seeks to build upon Judge’s work by conducting a fullliteraturereviewofrelatedpublicationsfrom2000to2016.Tore-examinewhatpersonality traits are still relevant to leadershipbasedupon thenewandnowwidely accepted HEXACO personality model developed by Ashton and Lee(2007).TheFiveFactorModel(FFM)andBigFivetraitsutilizedbyJudgein2002asanorganisingframeworkhasnowevolvedintoasix-factormodelinHEXACO.ThisupdatedmodelincorporatestheadditionaldimensionofHonesty-Humility(H) whilst modifying the trait of neuroticism to Emotion (E) and offersresearchers a comprehensive instrument to assess leadership personality.Recently,charismaticleadershiphascapturedtheimaginationofscholars.Judge(2007)recommendedthatfutureresearcheffortsbedirectedtowards‘definingand conceptualising’ transformational leadership. This reviewwill include thephenomena of transformational leadership and examine the support forcharismaasatrait.Thispaperoffersthefoundationsforanintegratedmodelofeffective leadership. To further understand the state of the art in leadershiptheoryandtheantecedentstoemergenceandeffectiveness.Previous studies (Bass, 1990; Keeney & Marchioro, 1998; Kenny & Zaccaro,1983) focused on single traits found in leadership. Judge’s comprehensivereview in 2002 of related literature cited the lack of taxonomy in definingpersonality traits. Leading to research proliferation through the use ofincongruenttraitsandlabels.Thisinconsistencycomplicatedfindingsmakingitdifficult to explain genuine relationships between personality and leadership.Labels ranged from alertness to originality to self-confidence. This lack of anagreed model for defining and measuring personality led to a dilution in theinterest around leadership trait theory. By adopting the commonly acceptedframework of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of Personality. Judge synthesizedprevious data within the Big Five traits thereby organising the literature anddata into a manageable and consistent framework. Judge reported the strongmultiplecorrelationof.48betweentheBigFivetraitsandleadershipprovidingastrong foundation for further research into leadership trait theory. Inaddition,Zaccaro’s (2004) studyprovides further supportby concluding that leadersdodiffer from non-leaders on a number of attributes and that these differencescontributesignificantlytoleadershipeffectiveness.Judge focused purely on the FFM as an organising framework. It would beinvaluable to consider the dispositional effect that personality has upon thephenomena of leadership. In particular, the behavioural dimensions of Ethical,Task,Transactional,RelationalandTransformationalleadership.IndeedJudge’srecommendations for future research concluded that ‘future research should

attempt to explain the linkages between the Big Five traits and leadership (to)developprocessmodelsthatilluminatethedispositionalsourceofleadership’.Scholars have furthered this work to incorporate a multivariate approach inexaminingtheeffectsofnotonebutseveraltraitsuponleadershipeffectiveness.Zaccaro (2004, 2007) offered a model to conceptualise how leader attributesincluding personality influence leadership performance. Arguing that effectiveleadershipinvolvestheinteractionofmultipletraitsdeployedtooptimaleffect.Resulting ina frameworkofcomplimentingdistalandproximalattributes.Thedistal attributes of personality, cognitive ability and motive values being theconsistent universal antecedents to the development of situation boundproximal attributes of social appraisal, problem solving and expertise. IndeedZaccaro highlights the conundrum of situational moderators in the study ofleadershiptheoryandrecommendsthatresearchersdisentangletheimportanceofcontextasafactorinthedevelopmentofleadershiptraittheory.Derue (2011) proposed an integratedmodel of ‘LeaderTraits, Behaviours andEffectiveness’. Conceptualising leadership traits through the mediatingbehaviours of task, relational and change-oriented leadership to effectiveness.Thisanalysissupportedemotionalstability,extraversion,conscientiousnessandopennessastraitsthatpositivelycorrelatewithleadership.Antonakis and Day (2012) (see figure 1) provide valuable guidance on futureresearch into leadership and individual differences. In particular the researchbeing developed in the study of follower personalities and their mediation ofleadership effectiveness, integrating concepts of attachment theory frompsychologicalscholarshipintobroaderleadershipconstructs.Whilsthighlightingthebiologicaldifferencesthatmayleadtoneurologicalandgeneticrelationshipsto leadership. Nana (2010) studied the effects of perceived leadership baseduponthephotographsoftenrandomlyselectedCEOs.Theresultsdemonstratedthatparticipantsactivelyattributedperceivedleadershiptraitsandeffectivenessto the corresponding facial features of the leader being assessed. Theseadditional caveats warrant consideration in any future research design andmethodology.Inthispaperwewillofferempiricalevidencetosupportourproposedmodelforleadership. That personality traits form the foundational antecedents toleadership. These traits are then expressed through the behavioural modesrequiredwithin a given situation. It is these behaviouralmodes that form thedispositional source of leadership. By examining leadership through ourframeworkofpersonality traits andbehaviourwe candevelopamodel that ispredictiveofleadershipeffectivenessandoutcomes.

MorerecentdevelopmentsinpsychologyscholarshiphasledtotheevolutionoftheBigFiveintoasixdimensionalframeworkintheHEXACOmodel.AshtonandLee began developing a Personality Inventory (PI) in 2000 researching lexicaldispositions acrossmultiple cultures and languages to conclude that there aresix,andonlysix,dimensionstopersonality.Subsumedwithineachareadditionalstatesculminating ina totalof208 items in the inventory.There isnowbroadconsensus that HEXACO is a viable alternative framework to the FFMencompassing the additional factor of Honesty-Humility. We will use theHEXACO personality model to examine the relationship between traits andleadership.Wewill adoptHEXACOas theorganizing framework for classifyingthe six personality dimensions to consolidate and code the data into amanageabledatabase.Theleadershipcriteriawerecodedintoeitherleadershipemergence or leadership effectiveness to report on each criterion separately.Whilst combining the results of both leadership criteria for anoverall analysisandreview.Withanadditionalcodingtodistinguishdatafromtheprivatesectorandthepublicsector.Aswithallmeta-analyses,somediscretionwillberequiredinthisclassification.As a control two individuals randomly divided all articles and coded both anydifferencesweresettledafterdiscussion.This review will allow us to build a correlation matrix of the HEXACO traitsversusleadershipcriteriaofemergenceandeffectiveness.HEXACOPersonalityFrameworkAshtonandLee(2007)concludedthattherearesixandonlysixdimensionsofpersonalitybasedupontheircomprehensivelexicalstudies.Honesty-Humility(H)ThedimensionofHonesty-Humility orH is an additional personality trait thatdistinguishesHEXCAOfromtheBigFive.AshtonandLee(2007)identifiedfourfacetstoHincludingfairness,sincerity,modestyandgreed-avoidance.Previousliterature has included traits of trustworthiness, integrity and faithfulness inleadershipresearch.IncludingHprovidesanadditionalsubstantialdimensiontoexamineleadershipantecedents.Emotionality(E)Thefour facetsofEmotionalityorE includesentimentality, fearfulness,anxietyand dependence. This dimension encompasses some elements of the Big Fivetrait neuroticism but lacks the anger related facets of neurotic personalities.Judge through his meta-analysis in 2002 found neuroticism to be negativelycorrelatedwith leadership criteria (p = -.24). This supports the evidence thatneurotic personalities are less likely to be perceived as leaders. In the FFMneuroticism is the instrument used to examine the emotional stability ofsubjects.InHEXACOtheinstrumentisEmotionalityorE.Zaccaro(2004)andhis

teamprovided support that social intelligence resides at the heart of effectiveleadership. Social intelligence refers to “the ability to understand the feelings,thoughts,andbehaviorsofpersons,includingoneself,ininterpersonalsituationsand to act appropriately upon that understanding.” Leadership is a socialendeavourinvolvingpeopleorsocialproblemsolving.MuchliteraturehasbeenproducedaroundtheemotionalcontextofleadershipinparticulartheconceptofEmotionalIntelligenceorEI.SeveralleadershipthinkersincludingGolemanhaveproposed that EI is an effective predictor of leadership emergence andeffectiveness.IncludingEIinourstudywillallowustoexplorethemeritsofthisdimension in greater detail. Empathic leaders listen towhat followers have tosayandallthenon-verbalcuesatthesametime.Theydisplaygenuineconcernfor the feelings of others. As a result, data from studies for the sole trait ofneuroticismwereexcludedinfavourofemotionalitytoensureconsistencywiththe HEXACO framework. We also choose to broaden the construct ofEmotionality to encompass the facets of Emotional Intelligence within ourreview.Extraversion(X)ExtraversionorXincludesthefourfacetsofsocialboldness,sociability,livelinessandsocial self-esteem.Thisdimension is largely thesameas in theFFMofBigFivetraits.Judge2002concludedthatX(p=.31)wasthestrongestcorrelateofleadershipcriteria.Extravertstendtobeactive,energetic,livelyindividualsandperceived to be more leader-like in social settings. Such personalities wouldcorrelate with leadership emergence and effectiveness. However, overtextraversionmaybemoderatedbytheotherdimensionspresentintheHEXACOmodelsuchashumilityandagreeableness.Agreeableness(A)AgreeablenessorAincludesthefourfacetsofforgiveness,gentleness,flexibilityandpatience.ThisdimensionisbroadlysimilartothatproposedintheBigFive.JudgefoundAtoberelativelyweaklycorrelatedtoleadership(p=.08).Thiswasunderthepredicamentthatagreeablepersonalitieswouldtendtobemeekandtimidandsubordinatetoleadershipcriteria.However,cooperationisrelatedtoleadership and sensitivity a hallmark of agreeableness.

completing projects through to delivery. Conscientious individuals will persistanddiligentlyfollowthrough.Openness(O)Openness or O includes the four facets of creativity, unconventionality,inquisitiveness and aesthetic appreciation. Judge found O to be the thirdstrongest correlate to leadership (p= .24) of the Big Five traits. Openness toexperience andnew ideas encompasses intellectual curiosity and the ability tothink creatively. This dimension is important in the role of innovation.Approaching old problems with a new openness. In considering large-scaletransformationalchangeinitiativesOcouldprovideanadditionalelementintheconceptualisation of a transformational leader. Ashton and Lee specify that Odoesnotprecludeintellectualabilitypersebutintellectualorientationdoes.Charisma(+C)andTransformationalLeadershipIlies, Judge and Wagner (2006) reviewed the evolution of charisma as aleadership trait. Developed by House (1977), Burns (1978) and Bass (1985).Scholars including Avolio (1994), Conger and Kanungo (1998), Fuller et al.(1996) and Lowe et al. (1996) debated the merits of charismatic andtransformational leadership. Bass and Avolio’s proposed model fortransformationalleadershipincludescharismaasatraitwithinthedimensionofidealised influence. With the other three dimensions being inspirationalmotivation, intellectual stimulation and individualised consideration. Thisapproach has been widely adopted by scholars in the development oftransformationalleadershiptheory.Hoffmanetal.(2011)foundcharismatobemore predictive of effectiveness in government and military settings than inbusinessandtheprivatesector.Thiscouldbeduetothedifferentorganisationalgoals, situations and hence behaviours required to achieve desired outcomes.What could be agreed is that charisma matters and it affects leadershipoutcomes. Phaneuf et al. (2016) strongly correlated charisma totransformational leadership (p= .98).Wewill review thisphenomenon in thisstudy.HEXACO (+Charisma)will form the foundation for our empirical reviewof theliteratureonleadership,personalityandoutcomes.

The resultantanalysisprovidesbroadsupportforthedevelopmentofaHEXACO(+Charisma)based leadership model. Resulting in sample-weighted mean correlations ofHonesty-Humility p= .32, Conscientiousness p= .27, Extraversion p= .21 andCharisma p= .43 with leadership effectiveness. This study illuminates theimportance of Honesty-Humility as an additional trait that affects leadershipoutcomes, particularly, within the domain of ethical leadership. Ethicalleadership as defined by Brown (2005) is ‘the demonstration of normativelyappropriate conduct through personal actions and interpersonal relationshipsand the promotion of such conduct to followers through two-waycommunication, reinforcement and decision-making.’ Such conduct includesfairness, sincerity and trustworthiness, which is core to the Honesty-Humilitytrait in HEXACO. Ethical leaders through the consistent demonstration ofnormative behaviour then have the credibility to act as role models to theirfollowers. This behaviour is also related to the idealized influence dimensionwithintransformationalleadershipofthesocialized(ethical)kindasopposedtopersonalized(unethical).Honesty-Humilityisthusafoundationalelementinthedevelopmentofethicaland transformational leadershipbehaviour.The traitofcharisma within the domain of transformational leadership is significantlyrelated to leadership effectiveness.

HEXACOandLeadershipEmergenceThisstudydistinguishesleadershipemergencefromleadershipeffectivenesstodifferentiatethosetraitsprevalentinindividualsinleaderlessgroupsandthosefound in leadership positions. Many empirical studies have investigated thephenomenaofindividualdifferencesandtheeffectuponamembers’emergenceas a leader. Within the HEXACO framework, Ogunfowora (2013) found thatHonesty-Humility had no significant effect on leadership emergence. Howeverindividuals low on Honesty-Humility were more likely to engage in moraldisengagement resulting in lower leadership emergence ratings. However,Marinova et al. (2013) found that duty and trustwere significantly correlatedwith emergence. Emerging leaderswith a duty bound dispositionwouldmorelikely build trust with followers in team working situations to deliver groupgoalsandobjectives.Li et al. (2012) found leadership emergence to be significantly related toemotional resilience (p= .54). Defining resilience as the ability to managenegative emotions and stress during group or task conflict situations.Krishnakumar and Hopkins (2014) studied the relationship between emotionperception(theabilitytoreademotions)andthemotivationtolead(p=.29).Campbell et al. (2003) studied the relationship between extraversion andleadership emergence in an experimental setting and found a positiverelationship(p=.50)formalesubjectswheretheevaluatorwasfemale.Walteret al.

Correlating Honesty-Humility (H) to EXACO offered support for Agreeableness (A) (p = .45),Conscientiousness (C) (p = .28) and Openness (O) (p = .22).

Relationally orientated leaders offer genuineconsiderationand concern for thewelfareof their group in thedeliveryof thetasks associated with the vision inspired.

The current leadership development models typically consisting of classroombasedlearninginMBAandrelatedprogrammes,complimentedwithon-the-jobexperiencebasedlearning,hopestomanufactureeffective leaders.However, tothedetrimentoforganisationsandsocietytoacertaindegreesuchprogrammesdonotalwaysleadtoeffectiveness.Ourreviewhassupportedthesignificanceofpersonality traits and behaviours as predictors of leadership emergence andsubsequent effectiveness. This paper supports the situational school ofleadership theory and recommends that organisation’s invest in and exposeleadership candidates to a broad variety of situational experiences to developand refine the traits and behaviours that are related to positive outcomes.Leaderswho’veemergedfromtheoperationalsettingofwork, typically intasksituations, in goal setting, initiating structure, the analysis and synthesis ofinformation.

This review examined the literature since Judge’s 2002seminalworkonleadershiptraitsandpersonalitytoofferanintegrationofthekey research findings to date. The evolution of the FFM to a six dimensionalHEXACO framework introduces the additional element of honesty-humility toleadershiptraittheory.Thecurrentresearchsupportstheinclusionofthistraitwithinthecontextofethicalleadershipandotherdimensionstoo.Charismaisasignificanttraitthatpredictstransformativeleadership.TheliteraturesupportstheHEXACO(+Charisma)traitsasaframeworkforinvestigatingleadership.Wetherefore proposed an integrated model based upon these foundationalpersonality traits. There is also strong evidence that the well-establishedclassical behavioural schools of leadership in Relational, Emotional, Task,Transactional and Transformational leadership (RETTT) affect outcomes. Byintegrating thesealongside theestablishedsituationalmodelsof leadershipwecan offer a five dimensional framework for examining leadership, personalityand outcomes in its entirety. In response to Judge’s 2002 further researchchallenge. These Five Behavioural Domains and their associated HEXACO(+Charisma) traits are a significant dispositional source of leadership. Futureresearch should further investigate the relationship between HEXACO(+Charisma)and leadershipoutcomesthroughthedynamic interactionswithinthe Five Dimensional Framework of RETTT. Further empirical research andsupportingdatawouldascertainthepredictivevalidityofthismodel.ToaddressJudge’s second challenge of building process maps to further illuminate thedispositional source of leadership. It is a platform that leadership researcherscanfurtherbuildupon.
