The top executive personality literature has grown significantly in recent years. We review this literature, consider its contributions to leadership research and practice, and discuss how future research on top executive personality should draw more heavily on the broader leadership literature. The paper first describes the top executive context and highlights the advantages and challenges of studying top executives. We then review the top executive personality literature in four areas that capture the bulk of the research: leadership of human resources, ethical leadership, strategic leadership and corporate governance, and firm performance. We examine how the top executive personality research in each area compares with other research on leaders' and their personalities that has been conducted on similar topics. The paper concludes with a future research agenda, which identifies other leader, team, and contextual considerations to advance our understanding of top executive personality and its influence. We also address methodological challenges related to measurement and endogeneity, because they are important for theory development and have received much attention in top executive personality research. In short, our paper examines how the literatures on top executives and leadership inform one another, and it helps lay a foundation for integrating these literatures more thoroughly.

近年来，高级管理人员人格文学有了显着增长。我们回顾了这些文献，考虑了其对领导力研究和实践的贡献，并讨论了未来关于高层管理者人格的研究应如何在更广泛的领导力文献上得到更大的借鉴。本文首先介绍了高层管理人员的背景，并重点介绍了研究高层管理人员的优势和挑战。然后，我们回顾四个领域的顶级行政人员性格文献，这些文献涵盖了大部分研究内容：人力资源领导力，道德领导力，战略领导力和公司治理以及公司绩效。我们研究了每个领域的最高主管人格研究与在类似主题上进行的其他有关领导者及其人格研究的比较。本文以未来的研究议程作为结尾，该议程确定了其他领导者，团队和背景因素，以加深我们对高级管理人员人格及其影响力的理解。我们还解决了与度量和内生性相关的方法挑战，因为它们对于理论发展很重要，并且在高层管理者人格研究中引起了很多关注。简而言之，我们的论文研究了有关高管人员和领导者的文献如何相互交流，并为更全面地整合这些文献奠定了基础。因为它们对于理论发展很重要，并且在高层管理人员人格研究中引起了很多关注。简而言之，我们的论文研究了有关高管人员和领导者的文献如何相互交流，并为更全面地整合这些文献奠定了基础。因为它们对于理论发展很重要，并且在高层管理人员人格研究中引起了很多关注。简而言之，我们的论文研究了有关高管人员和领导者的文献如何相互交流，并为更全面地整合这些文献奠定了基础。
