TI  - Exogenous Dynamics and Leadership Traits: A Study of Change in the Personality
Traits of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
AB  - Do leadership attributes change/persist with experience in office, and after a
dramatic event? Answers to this agent-structure question represent the main
division line between situational and dispositional theorists. While the first posits
that leader’s actions are a product of configuration imposed by experience, and
traumatic events, the latter focuses on persistent set of beliefs in leaders. This
paper aims at testing the role of these two variables, experience, and traumatic
event, on the personality of political leaders with a special focus on Recep
Tayyip Erdogan. To recover the personality attributes of Erdogan, and measure
their resilience or weakness against experience and traumatic events, the paper
uses Leadership Trait Analysis (LTA) developed by Margaret Hermann. LTA
assumes that leaders’ choice of certain words in public speeches reflects their
personality traits, through which they can be compared with other leaders, and
even themselves in different roles and times.
