Abstract(s)

Nowadays, companies and their managers are increasingly pressured to achieve certain results and levels of performance in order to ensure the financial sustainability of their companies and to remain competitive in the markets. Sometimes these goals are somewhat ambitious and difficult to achieve, which means that decision-makers must have certain personality traits in order to show resistance in dealing with obstacles and strengthen their capacity to solve problems. This research proposal assumes that the personality traits of managers, namely extroversion, pleasantness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, will have a relevant impact on decision making, which will be reflected in the company's performance. In another perspective, this research proposal also aims to analyze what characteristics of managers are underlying to the organizational behavior. More attention has been given to the study of managers' behaviors and how their attitudes and decision-making can define the achievement of the strategic objectives of organizations. Following this point of view, this research proposal links two scientific areas, namely Management and Psychology, and presents itself as an extremely innovative approach, providing a new line of research that is expected to be extremely useful for the knowledge of the performance of companies and the decision-making process. Regarding the methodology, the data will be collected through the application of a questionnaire to evaluate the different dimensions of the proposed conceptual model. In the treatment of quantitative data, a structural equations model will be used, to investigate the possible relations between the different dimensions incorporated in the model.
