Abstract/Summary
The present study is a correlational quantitative research. The researchers utilized a predictive cross-section non-experimental research design. The objectives of the study were to determine the relationship of proactive personality (predictor) and divergent thinking (moderator) to charismatic leadership (criterion), and to discover the degree of extent to which divergent thinking would either strengthen or weaken the relationship between an individual's proactive personality and charismatic leadership (criterion), and to discover the degree of extent to which divergent thinking would either strengthen or weaken the relationship between an individual's proactive personality and charismatic leadership. Participants for this study are student leaders coming from the top four universities in the Philippines. Among the 180 student leaders who answered the survey, only 77 were used for the analysis of the study (Mage=19.35, SD = 1.36). Data was gathered with the use of an online survey. The Proactive Personality Scale by Bateman and Crant (1993} and the Conger-Kanungo Charismatic Leadership Scale (CK-20) were used to measure proactive personality and charismatic leadership respectively. Divergent thinking was measured by giving participants three different divergent thinking tasks. Results showed that only proactive personality has a significant effect on charismatic leadership. It was also found out that divergent thinking does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between proactive personality and charismatic leadership, with an overall model fit of R=.543, R2 = 295, and R2adj=.266, with F(1, 73) = 10.17,p>0.05.
