description |
Although personality, leadership, and critical thinking have been widely studied over the
years, as well as the relationships between two of those variables, few studies have
addressed the relationship between all three variables. This study was aimed at determining
the mediating effect of critical thinking on the relationship between personality and
leadership by conducting a correlational study to test four hypotheses.
The first hypothesis was related to personality and leadership style, the second was related
to personality and critical thinking, the third was related to critical thinking and leadership
style, and the fourth placed critical thinking as a mediator between personality and
leadership style. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was
applied, using SmartPLS 3 software, on a sample of 139 middle managers from Colombia,
Ecuador, and Peru. The subjects completed standardized assessments to determine
personality (NEO-PI test), leadership style (MLQ test), and critical thinking (WGCTA test).
Only the hypotheses that related personality and transformational leadership, personality
and passive-avoidant leadership, and personality and critical thinking, were accepted.
The study determined that there is no mediation effect of critical thinking on the
relationship between personality and any of the leadership styles, thus calling into question
the generalized idea that leaders should be critical thinkers. This study reveals the relevant
academic and practical implications, and provides recommendations for practice and future
research involving the relationships between personality, leadership, and critical thinking. === Aunque la personalidad, el liderazgo y el pensamiento crítico se han estudiado ampliamente
a lo largo de los años, así como las relaciones entre pares de esas variables, pocos estudios
han abordado la relación entre las tres variables. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo
determinar el efecto mediador del pensamiento crítico sobre la relación entre personalidad y
liderazgo mediante la realización de un estudio correlacional para probar cuatro hipótesis.
La primera hipótesis se relacionó con la personalidad y el estilo de liderazgo, la segunda se
relacionó con la personalidad y el pensamiento crítico, la tercera se relacionó con el
pensamiento crítico y el estilo de liderazgo y la cuarta situó el pensamiento crítico como
mediador entre la personalidad y el estilo de liderazgo. Se aplicó el Modelo de Ecuación
Estructural de Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (PLS-SEM), utilizando el software SmartPLS
3, en una muestra de 139 mandos intermedios de Colombia, Ecuador y Perú. Los sujetos
completaron evaluaciones estandarizadas para determinar personalidad (prueba NEO-PI),
estilo de liderazgo (prueba MLQ) y pensamiento crítico (prueba WGCTA). Solo se
aceptaron las hipótesis que relacionaron la personalidad y el liderazgo transformacional, la
personalidad y el liderazgo pasivo-evitativo, y la personalidad y el pensamiento crítico.
El estudio determinó que no existe un efecto mediador del pensamiento crítico en la
relación entre la personalidad y ninguno de los estilos de liderazgo, cuestionando así la idea
generalizada de que los líderes deben ser pensadores críticos. Este estudio revela las
implicaciones académicas y prácticas relevantes, y proporciona recomendaciones para la
práctica y la investigación futura que involucran las relaciones entre personalidad, liderazgo
y pensamiento crítico. |
