Purpose

The paper aims not only to provide evidence of the Jungian personality theory in the context of management through managers' lived experience but also to ask a deeper question of what this theory–practice coherence entails.

Design/methodology/approach

Situated as preliminary, this study used a phenomenological approach to detail managerial accounts across four managers in an Indonesian higher education institution. A survey of personality types using an online Jungian-based personality assessment tool was conducted, followed by an in-depth interview with selected managers.

Findings

The study provides the following evidence: the coherence between the perceived managerial practices and the theorized cognitive processes of each personality type and between the way the instrument measures personality types and the theorized cognitive processes.

Research limitations/implications

While the study faces an issue of data saturation, given the sample size, the study has conducted the process of triangulation by sampling managers with resembling cognitive processes as theorized (INTJ, with ENTJ; ISFJ with ESFJ). A broader implication is around the use of qualitative, phenomenological approach to the study of personality types and cognitive processes.

Practical implications

Promoting diverse ways of managing based on personality types, this paper includes implications specifically for developing managers in charge of core business processes in terms of flexibility when managing and leading a team.

Originality/value

This paper presents an account of how personality types (through their dominant cognitive functions) resonate with real-life managerial practices, connecting the descriptive nature of personality types and the normative nature of management.

人格类型和管理风格：现象学方法

目的

本文的目的不仅是通过管理者的实际经验为管理中的荣格人格理论提供证据，而且还提出了一个更深层的问题，即该理论与实践的一致性意味着什么。

设计/方法/方法

作为初步研究，本研究采用现象学方法来详细描述印度尼西亚高等教育机构中四名管理人员的管理账目。使用基于在线基于Jungian的性格评估工具进行的性格类型调查，然后与选定的经理进行了深入访谈。

发现

该研究提供以下证据：感知的管理实践与每种人格类型的理论化认知过程之间的一致性，以及该工具衡量人格类型的方法与理论化的认知过程之间的一致性。

研究局限/意义

尽管研究面临数据饱和的问题，但鉴于样本量，该研究通过对管理人员进行抽样来进行三角剖分，其理论假设类似于认知过程（INTJ，ENTJ； ISFJ，ESFJ）。广泛的含义是使用定性的，现象学的方法来研究人格类型和认知过程。

实际影响

本文提倡基于人格类型的多种管理方式，其中包括对管理核心业务流程的经理在管理和领导团队时具有灵活性的意义。

创意/价值

本文介绍了人格类型（通过其主导的认知功能）如何与现实生活中的管理实践产生共鸣，将人格类型的描述性与管理的规范性联系起来。
