      Fosse, Thomas Hol; Skogstad, Anders; Einarsen, Ståle; Martinussen, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)
      Since the turn of the millennium, a growing academic interest has emerged regarding the dark side of leadership, both in general and specific contexts. Characteristics of military organisations may either reduce or exaggerate the prevalence and impact of destructive leadership. It is therefore pertinent to explore antecedents and outcomes of destructive leadership in the military context as compared ...

      Skoglund, Tom Hilding; Fosse, Thomas Hol; Lang-Ree, Ole Christian; Martinsen, Øyvind Lund; Martinussen, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-01)
      While studies of the relationship between applicant personality and selection assessment ratings are widespread within personnel psychology, studies on military samples are scarcer. The current study aimed to investigate the associations between the Five-Factor Model of personality and ratings in (1) a military selection interview and (2) a field selection exercise simulating a war-like scenario. ...

This study addresses the impact of the Big Five personality trait, ...
    • Neuroticism as an antecedent of abusive supervision and laissez-faire leadership in emergent leaders: The role of facets and agreeableness as a moderator 

      Fosse, Thomas Hol; Martinussen, Monica; Sørlie, Henrik; Skogstad, Anders; Martinsen, Øyvind L.; Einarsen, Ståle Valvatne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)
      Academic interest in the relationship between leaders' personality and subordinates’ perception of destructive leadership behavior is increasing. However, results so far have been weak, contradictory, and inconsistent to theory. Here, we examine if using facets of neuroticism, rather than the broader trait, can be more informative and increases the predictive power. Next, we explore the interplay ...
