“…Measurement of the morningness-eveningness dimension relies on questionnaires and Likert-scales (Adan et al, 2012), offering continuous Personality and Individual Differences 86 (2015) [168][169][170][171] scorings or classifications in two (morning vs. evening) or three categories (morning, evening and intermediate types; Natale & Cicogna, 2002).…”

“…Alternatively to arbitrary cut-offs some authors have classified participants regarding their studied samples, contrasting for instance the P 10 with P 90 (Natale & Cicogna, 2002) or Q 1 with Q 4 (Randler & Frech, 2006). Additionally, other authors have used scale-scores as reflecting a continuum (Natale & Cicogna, 2002).…”

“…These differences for preferred time of day to be active or to sleep define the morningness-eveningness dimension, or chronotype. Chronotype reflects a somewhat stable personality trait when considering a classification through individuals' morning-and evening-types, being an intermediate-type the most common classification (60-70% of individuals; see Natale & Cicogna, 2002).…”

A marked individual difference is the morningness-eveningness preference or chronotype. Presenting its high relevance in predicting human behavior, we stress the need to control for this dimension in different studies, suggesting that this can be easily and succinctly done since individuals are aware of their chronotypes. We tested this hypothesis selecting the self-assessment item from the rMEQ scale, demonstrating that the item by itself is capable of classifying individuals in the same category as the score obtained through the original scale.

Circadian typology and the Alternative Five‐Factor Model of personality

T wo studies were carried out to explore the relationship between circadian typology and the Alternative Five-Factor Model of personality. In the first study, 379 participants (232 females) were administered the reduced version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire. Evening types reported higher impulsive sensation-seeking scores than morning and intermediate types, whereas morning types scored higher than evening types on activity factor. In the second study, the association between morningness and activity personality factor was verified through the objective-actigraphic monitoring of the rest-activity cycle. Actigraphy allowed us to operationalise both circadian typology, through the computing of midpoint of sleep (early values, expressed in hours and minutes, correspond to an advanced phase of the sleep/wake cycle), and activity factor by the means of motor activity recording. Fifty-one individuals (30 females) wore an actigraph on the nondominant wrist continuously for 1 week. A negative correlation was observed between midpoint of sleep and mean diurnal motor activity, demonstrating that an early phase of the sleep/wake cycle (i.e. morningness preference) was related to higher diurnal motor activity. Assessed both subjectively and objectively, the results of both studies highlight a significant relationship between morningness and activity personality factor.

Circadian leadership: A review and integration of chronobiology and leadership

2022

A vast body of knowledge within the field of chronobiology highlights a broad array of important effects that circadian rhythms and chronotypes have on individual performance. Circadian rhythms are predictable fluctuations of energetic activation produced by an internal pacemaker, the circadian clock, that governs the daily functioning of the human body and mind. Chronotypes are individual differences in the setting of this biological clock that influence preferences for the optimal timing of daily periods of activity and rest. In this paper, we review the chronobiology literature as it applies to leadership research to advance a circadian leadership perspective that integrates circadian science with leadership science. We outline how a circadian perspective can help researchers to understand how time of day interacts with circadian processes to influence the effectiveness of task-, relational-, and change-oriented leadership activities. Our circadian perspective also extends research on leader and follower individual differences by explaining the effects of chronotypes on leadership behaviors and outcomes. We develop propositions based on the most promising insights that have emerged from the literature review, advance ideas for future theory development and research, and discuss implications for leaders in practice.
