Abstract

This dissertation explores the relationship between Myers-Briggs personality type preference, self perception accuracy and transformational leadership practices of female hospital leaders. The women in the sample completed the MBTI and participated in a 360-degree Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) assessment to measure their self-identity, and reputation, as a transformational leader. Self-accuracy was determined by examining congruence between individual's self ratings on the LPI and the rating's of observers. Chi Square results and t-tests found that MBTI preferences for Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Feeling (F) and Perceiving (P) had a significant positive effect on both the individual's self-identity and reputation as a transformational leader. The self-perception accuracy of the female hospital leaders did not differ by MBTI type preference.
