Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
This research explored the leadership traits of leaders of selected Technical Universities (TUs) in Ghana. Descriptive quantitative approach was employed and a survey was conducted. Four TUs and a polytechnic were sampled using simple random sampling. A sample size of 214 was drawn from 461 staff. Means were used to determine the average response of the leaders to statements related personality traits studied and the Hotelling’s T Test was used in analyzing the level of significance of the responses. The agreeableness, openness-to-experience, conscientiousness, and adjustment are the most prominent leadership traits among the respondents. The leaders need to adopt the right mix of traits in their handling of issues in the TUs.
