ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the role
of anger on managerial effectiveness. To this end, a
sample of male managers in a South African financial
organisation completed questionnaires on the
experience of anger, the expression of anger, and Type
A behaviour. Managerial effectiveness was assessed in
terms of the behavioural dimensions of the
organisation's assessment centre and performance
appraisal, as well as a managerial achievement
quotient. A factor analysis computed separately for ,
the 11 assessment centre dimensions and the 11
performance appraisal criteria revealed three
orthogonal factors in both analyses. Product moment
correlation coefficients were calculated between all
the variables, including the new factor scores. The
performance appraisal factor labled "Emphasising
Quality in Solution and Production" was significantly
correlated with trait anger point), and the
performance appraisal factor labled "Maintaining
Supportive Interpersonal Relationships" was
significantly correlated with state anger
point), trait anger point), anger expression
point), and Type A behaviour point).
The assessment centre factors labled "Making and
Communication Decisions" and "Interpersonal Planning"
correlated significantly with anger expression
point) and trait anger
Finally, the managerial achievement quotient
correlated positively and significantly with Type A
behaviour
methodological issues confronted in the present
research may provide new insight for future
investigations regarding stress and organisational
psychology.
