The relationship between personality factors and ethical leader behaviour: A case study of Vhembe District.Nevhutanda, Tshilidzi 18 May 2018 (has links)
MCom (Human Resource Management) / Department of Human Resources Management and Labour Relations / The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between ethical leader
behaviour and the five factors of personality in Vhembe District, South Africa. This research
used a quantitative method. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from
a stratified random sample of n=202 participants. All categories from selected government
departments of the Vhembe District were included in the strata meaning that junior and
senior employees both participated. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)
version 25 was used for descriptive and inferential statistics (Correlation and ANOVA) to
determine relationships between ethical leadership and personality factors of agreeableness,
consciousness, neuroticism, extroversion and openness to experience. The Personality
Factor Scale was used to collect data on the five factors of personality, and the ethical
Leaders Scale was used to collect data on the dependent variable of ethical leader
behaviour. The findings of this study confirmed that out of the five factors of personality,
consciousness had the most a positive significant relationship with ethical leader behaviour.
Therefore, this study concludes that selected government departments of the Vhembe
District should exhibit ethical leadership to their employees. The study also discovers that
fairness, role clarifications and power sharing were the aspect of ethical leadership which is
required in every leader to become ethical. / NRF

Better Speakers Make More Friends: Predictors of Social Network Development Among Study-Abroad StudentsBrockbank, J Wyatt 12 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Social network development has been studied in the social sciences for the last several decades, but little work has applied social network theory to study-abroad research. This study seeks to quantitatively describe factors that predict social network formation among study-abroad students while in the host countries. Social networks were measured in terms of the number of friends the students made, the number of distinct social groups reported, and the number of friends within those groups. The Study Abroad Social Interaction Questionnaire was compared against these pre-trip factors: intercultural competence, target-language proficiency, prior missionary experience, gender, study-abroad program, neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness, openness to new experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Results showed that pre-trip oral proficiency in the target language was the strongest predictor of the number of friends made in-country. Certain programs showed stronger predictive statistics in terms of size of largest social group, number of social groups, and number of friends made. A distinction is made between total number of friends and number of friends who are more likely to be native speakers. Neither intercultural competence nor personality showed a significant correlation with the number of friendships made during study abroad.
