Abstract

This study investigated bright- and dark-side personality traits of participants in talent-development programs in a range of private Danish organizations (N = 602). Previous research has looked at the personalities of leaders and high performers, but we do not know much about those who are selected for talent-development programs. They resemble high performers and leaders by being more planful and organized, self-confident, persuasive, and trusting—but also manipulative and grandiose. However, the results indicate that becoming a participant in leadership-development program is largely a question of the selecting in of desired behavior rather than the selecting out of undesired behavior. The results support the use of personality instruments before selection to talent-development programs, in addition to being used as a part of these programs.

工作中人才的光明与黑暗:对人才发展项目参与者个性的研究

本研究调查了丹麦私人组织人才发展项目参与者的光明面和黑暗面人格特征(N = 602)。之前的研究关注的是领导者和高绩效者的个性，但我们对那些被选中参加人才发展项目的人了解不多。他们更有计划、更有条理、更自信、更有说服力、更值得信任，但也更善于操纵和浮夸。然而，结果表明，成为领导力发展项目的参与者在很大程度上是一个选择期望行为的问题，而不是选择不希望的行为。研究结果支持在选择人才发展项目之前使用人格工具，并将其作为这些项目的一部分。
