Basic dimensions of leader personality: A lexical study in Hebrew
The Contribution of Peer Values to Children’s Values and Behavior
Personal values have a key role in determining people’s perceptions, judgments, and behaviors. Only a handful of studies examined determinants of children’s values outside the family. We used longitudinal data on children’s values from 15,008 children in Grades 3 to 9, and homeroom teachers’ reports about the behaviors of 3,476 of these children. As predicted, peers’ values were positively correlated with the strengthening of children’s correspon…
The power of benevolence: The joint effects of contrasting leader values on follower‐focused leadership and its outcomes
The most frequent approach to studying leader attributes has been to demonstrate links between separate dispositions (e.g., traits and values) and leader behavior. Yet, both in the field of personality overall and the field of personal values in particular, there is a growing understanding that to more realistically capture the effects of personality, one needs to study the joint effects of personality dimensions, rather than their separate ones.…
Thinking about the distant future promotes the prospects of peace: A construal-level perspective on intergroup conflict resolution
The current research reveals that the pursuit of peace entails an inherent paradox. The urgent need to save lives and alleviate human suffering necessitates swift solutions to the problem of intergroup conflict. However, because the human mind associates peace with longer time horizons, people anticipate peace more when considering the distant rather than the near future. Six experiments demonstrate a robust and large effect whereby thinking abou…
Leadership Models, Methods, and Applications: Progress and Remaining Blind Spots
The current chapter builds on an earlier chapter published in this series back in 2002 that offered an integrative review of the leadership literature up to that point in time. In this updated chapter, we expand the coverage of our earlier review of the leadership literature by going into more detail in areas that were just emerging in the literature. We also introduce some new areas of literature and critiques, which were not covered in our prev…
How do leadership motives affect informal and formal leadership emergence
To what extent and in what ways do leadership motives of potential leaders predict their informal and formal leadership assignments? To address these questions, we conducted two studies in a military setting. In the first study ( n = 215), we examined a mediated‐moderation model in which we hypothesized that the motivation to lead (MTL) of candidates to an elite unit would predict their teamwork behaviors and their tendency to emerge as leaders o…
CEO values, organizational culture and firm outcomes
Few empirical works have examined the process through which CEO dispositions relate to organizational outcomes. In this study we examined the relationships between CEO values and organizational culture, and between organizational culture and firm performance. Data were collected from different sources (26 CEOs, 71 Senior Vice Presidents and 185 other organizational members), and include organizational financial performance data collected at two p…
