Personality in the Management System

Abstract. Introduction. In today’s rapidly changing world of digitalization and globalization, management as a science and practice is evolving. One of the key factors in effective organizational management is personality — not only as an object of management processes, but also as a source of values, leadership style, and corporate ethics. A manager’s personality determines how management functions are implemented, how the team atmosphere is formed, and how resilient the organization is to external challenges.

Purpose. In today’s environment of rapid change, digitalization, and globalization, management as a science and practice is evolving. One of the key factors in effective organizational management is personality — not only as a subject of management processes, but also as a source of values, leadership style, and corporate ethics.

Results. It has been determined that traits such as responsibility, initiative, emotional stability, and openness to innovation directly affect management style, staff motivation, and the enterprise’s overall performance indicators. It is emphasized that developing a manager’s personal qualities is necessary for implementing modern management approaches.

Conclusions. The article discusses the role of personality in management effectiveness, the psychological characteristics of successful managers, the relationship between personality type and management style, and the importance of personality development for managerial growth.

A modern manager is a leader, mentor, and strategist, as well as a performer of functions. Therefore, developing a strong, mature personality is essential for the growth of both individual enterprises and society as a whole.
