Six Factor Model

1069 Words5 Pages

Jokinen’s (2005) definition of global leadership competencies stated earlier guided our selection of study participants. We screened for participants who were leading across cultures, and working in many different industries. We were not concerned about different levels of responsibility. A wide variety of organizations were included, from mid-size to Fortune 100 organizations. There were 134 industries represented. Some 66% of respondents were male, 34% female (mean age = 43). Only global leaders were included in the study. Some 80 NASA International Project Managers and their international colleagues were included. We defined a global leader as one who is engaged in managing people across cultures either on international assignment or working …show more content…

Across the entire sample (N = 1,953), the six factor structure did not fit the data well, χ2 (1024) = 9398.87, CFI = .70, TLI = .68, RMSEA = .07, according to CFI and TLI (>.90) and RMSEA (<.08) fit standards suggested by MacDonald and Ho (2002). Based on these criteria, the six factor model did not fit the data well. In exploring the factor loadings of the six factor model it became clear items in the Adapting Socially, Even Disposition, and Demonstrating Creativity factors were not functioning as expected. In addition, one item from the Instilling Trust factor fit poorly with the other items under that factor, and was dropped from subsequent analyses. This left 23 items across three factors: Respecting Beliefs, Navigating Ambiguity, and Instilling Trust. The three-factor model, which included a higher-order “global leadership” factor, fit the data substantially better, χ2 (227) = 1608.48, CFI = .89, TLI = .88, RMSEA = .06, and approached acceptable fit according to MacDonald and Ho’s (2002) standards. In addition, each of the three factors loaded highly onto the higher order factor - Respecting Beliefs = 0.79, Navigating Ambiguity = 0.84, and Instilling Trust = 0.87—suggesting that each was a relatively strong indicator of the higher order construct of global leadership. We were unable to find support for Hypothesis 1 in that the proposed 10 factor model did not demonstrate acceptable model fit. However, we were able to identify a more parsimonious alternative model that demonstrated improved

    Nevertheless, despite the significant contribution to personality research by use of factor analysis Cattell’s theory is criticized. The most recognizable criticism of Cattell 's Sixteen Personality Factor Model is that regardless of numerous efforts the theory has never been completely reproduced. According to Howarth and Brown’s (1971) founding’s, there was ten factors that were unsuccessful to relate to characteristics presented in the 16PF model. Researchers stated that the model does not measure the factors at the primary level as it supposed to (Fehriinger, 2004).

In the second factor, there seems some improvement and that the score is 14, which is lower as well and shows that the person has weakened authentic leadership. The score related to the next or third factor in the list 15, which also falls in the lower category. The last or the fourth factor shows some improvement and the score here is 16.

While these terms are often still used in the five factor personality theory, the eventual emergence of the more commonly used and understood terms in the field related to Norman’s IV and V positions are ‘Neuroticism’ and ‘Openness to Experience’; these terms are related to the convergence of research done within the lexical approach and the questionnaire approach. The Questionnaire Approach Personality research and theory has and largely still relies mostly on the self-report instrument of the questionnaire for the information that guides it. It

    Critical Review of Leadership Theories There have been a variety of theorists who have tried to understand how good leaders acquire their skills and whether the components which make up a successful leader are hereditary or learned. Many Studies have been made using twins to identify that about forty percent of differences in personality are hereditary. (Vernon et al., 1998) From this we can see that it is not only a matter of whether a person in born with these skills but one must also build on them to become a successful leader.

These five Cs are: character, commitment, connectedness, compassion and confidence. Oshagbemi and Ocholi (2006) grouped managers on the bases of their leadership styles and day to day behavior. Categorization is done into three groups: practical leaders, unity leaders and uncaring leaders. The results concluded that every leader is relatively affective but it can be expected that practical and unity leaders could do even better than uncaring leaders.
