520 $a The Big Five personality factors have received wide acceptance over the past 20 years as the dominant organizing taxonomy for personality traits. With this acknowledgment has come a resurgence in trait research, especially at it relates to the world of work. This thesis examined the degree to which Big Five personality factors increment the prediction of leadership behaviours in a predictive validity.
520 $a This thesis defined specificity on both sides of the prediction equation. The participants were students on Canadian Forces (CF) leadership training courses and their practical leadership performance test on these courses was the criteria. The assessment situation was a maximal performance paradigm. Overall performance was assessed, as was the participant's task and contextual performance in accordance with Borman and Motowidlo's (1993) conceptualization of work behaviour. The predictors included two self-report Big Five measures that assessed personality traits at both the factor level and, in one case, at the subordinate facet level. To avoid capitalizing on chance, not all of the individual facets were used in analyses. Instead, through a variety of procedures, five sets of facets were chosen to represent their parent factors. Additional predictors included general cognitive ability, including sub-tests of the overall cognitive ability measure, and bio-data such as education level, gender, and language.
520 $a There were two primary groups of participants; junior officers undergoing initial leadership training as part of officer basic training (n = 200), and non-commissioned members with many years of CF experience undergoing leadership training to prepare them for appointment to junior leadership positions (n = 118). The two groups were also combined into one larger group for analysis. Data on a third group, applicants to the CF, were used for norming purposes.
520 $a The primary result was that personality did indeed increment the prediction of performance over general cognitive ability. Moreover, in all cases, it was the lower level personality facets that accounted for more of the variance in performance than their parent factors. An unexpected finding was that conscientiousness showed a negative relationship with performance. This unique result is discussed in terms of the impact that the performance conditions imposed on the variability of responding. Additional analyses investigated the relationship between the personality dimension of openness to experience and general cognitive ability, and the convergent validity of the two personality instruments.
