Abstract

Personality, leadership style, and work environment affect the performance of an individual in an organisation. The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between personality, leadership styles, and work environment. The sample of 285 managers working at Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Punjab, India is taken. A quantitative method is used in the study and the data is collected by using standardised questionnaire. The result of the study shows that majority of personality traits were found associated with transactional leadership style and work environment, while various non-significant correlation results were found between personality and transformational leadership subscales, the transformational leadership style failed to establish a significant relationship with any of the personality subscales, and the personality traits correlated positively, while others negatively with some of the subscales of transactional and transformational leadership and work environment. The study also finds that transactional leadership styles were significantly but negatively correlated with work environment and transformational leadership styles were not significantly correlated with work environment, thus aggregate work environment was significantly correlated with transactional leadership styles.
