TLDR
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality, showing substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors.Abstract:
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality. As in a previous study of self-reports (McCrae & Costa, 1985b), adjective factors of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness-antagonism, and conscientiousness-undirectedness were identified in an analysis of 738 peer ratings of 275 adult subjects. Intraclass correlations among raters, ranging from .30 to .65, and correlations between mean peer ratings and self-reports, from .25 to .62, showed substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors. Similar results were seen in analyses of scales from the NEO Personality Inventory. Items from the adjective factors were used as guides in a discussion of the nature of the five factors. These data reinforce recent appeals for the adoption of the five-factor model in personality research and assessment.read more

The Promise and Problems of Organizational Culture: CEO Personality, Culture, and Firm Performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically link CEO personality to culture and organizational culture to objective measures of firm performance using data from respondents in 32 high-technology companies, and they show that CEO personality affects a firm's culture and that culture is subsequently related to a broad set of organizational outcomes including a firm’s financial performance (revenue growth, Tobin's Q), reputation, analysts' stock recommendations, and employee attitudes.

Is personality fixed? Personality changes as much as "variable" economic factors and more strongly predicts changes to life satisfaction
TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal analysis of 8625 individuals examined Big Five personality measures at two time points to determine whether an individual's personality changes and also the extent to which such changes in personality can predict changes in life satisfaction.
