۳۶۰ Degree Assessment of Efficient Supervisor by Employees with Red, Green, Blue and Yellow Characteristics in DISC Behavior Patterns

Thomas Erikson claims that bosses and employees with dominant features of conscientiousness and extraversion whom Erikson calls people with preference of the color “red”, are least compatible with ones whose dominant features include conscientiousness and introversion, whose color preference is “blue”. Employees with above average compatibility are relationship-oriented and extroverted and in Erikson’s terms their color preference is “yellow”. Those with average compatibility tend to be relationship-oriented and introverted. The compatibility of the red ones is less than the compatibility of blue ones. In this research, the characteristics of the employees were identified, these employees worked in a group whose supervisor was conscientious and extroverted. Next, the employees evaluated the supervisor and the supervisor evaluated the employees and Erikson’s claims based on DISC ۳۶۰ assessment were examined. For the assessment of relationship-orientation and compatibility in bosses and employees, Stogdill’s leadership scale was used and for the assessment of extraversion and introversion, Costa and McCrae’s NEO scale was used (the short version which has ۶۰ questions out of which ۱۲ questions are for the assessment of extraversion). Employees who were conscientious and introverted and those who were conscientious and extroverted received the highest results in this assessment along with those whose colors were yellow and green, showing no meaningful difference, thus disproving Erikson’s claims. ۱۳۸ employees and ۸۶ supervisors were selected from the staff of “Isfahan gas Transportation Company”. According to the findings of the research, the results obtained from Erikson's assumptions may be wrong due to one of two reasons, ۱- this theory is wrong ۲- the measuring instruments used were not qualified. In order to reach better conclusions, more research should be conducted based on the findings of this study in the future. For the triangulation of the instruments, it is better to use Sahar Savadkouhi’s “Relational energy” scale whose reliability and validity was ensured in ۲۰۲۱.
