什么类型的管理者更愿意创新？—基于MBTI人格类型的研究

What Kind of Managers are More Willing to Innovate? -A Study Based on MBTI Types

摘要:

以432名企业中高层管理者为研究对象，采用层次回归法和方差分析法，利用调研数据，依据印记理论与社会交换理论实证分析了管理者MBTI人格类型对创新行为的影响，并检验了领导-成员交换关系的中介效应与原生家庭所处社会阶层的调节效应。结果表明：企业中高层管理者存在三种典型人格类型：ISTJ、ESTJ、INTJ，其中，ISTJ、INTJ分别与创新行为呈正关，ESTJ与创新行为呈负相关；领导-成员交换关系在三种典型人格类型与创新行为之间具有部分中介作用；原生家庭所处阶层对三种典型人格类型与创新行为的关系具有正向调节作用。

Abstract:

Taking 432 middle-senior managers as the study object，based on imprinting theory and social exchange theory，this paper empirically examines the effect of the different managers MBTI types on innovation behavior，and these relations are mediated by LMX，whether are moderated by the original family’s social class by using the survey data and the hierarchical regression method.The empirical results are as follows：it is indicated that ISTJ、ESTJ and INTJ are the typical personality types of the middle-senior managers，the ISTJ type and the INTJ type respectively shows positive influence on innovation behavior；the ESTJ type shows negative influence on innovation behavior；LMX plays a part mediating role in the relationship between the MBTI types and innovation behavior，which is positively moderated by the original family’s social class. It indicates that managers are effectively matched with their positions and should fully understand their personality，recognize the impact of previous life experiences on behavior preferences，actively break the mental model，and constantly improve their own innovative ability to meet the needs of enterprises and jobs.
