In addition, they rated leadership behavior on 24 scales and their job characteristics on 19 scales.Major findings were as follows.1. Four factors extracted from character traits were interpreted as familiarity, kindheartedness, confidence in his own work, and dignity.2. Four factors extracted from leader traits were interpreted as his subordinate-oriented, work-oriented, self-oriented, and interpersonaloriented.3. M-behavior (group maintenance oriented behavior) has stronger influence on personality cognition than P-behhvior (task-oriented behavior).
