The study had a predictive research design; the data were collected from 424 participants in the 2023 academic year, and the instruments of this study were two questionnaires. The study found that the big five factors of personality traits predict the leadership practices of academic department chairs. Two factors of personality traits, conscientiousness and openness to experience, were statistically significant and predicted the practices in modelling leadership. Four factors (agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and extroversion) were statistically significant and predicted leadership practices in inspiring a shared vision. Three factors (neuroticism, extroversion, and conscientiousness) were statistically significant and predicted leadership practices in challenging processes. Two factors (conscientiousness and openness to experience) were statistically significant and predicted leadership practices enabling others to act. Three factors (conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience) were statistically significant and predicted leadership practices encouraging the heart. The study recommended that academic leaders be required to consider personality traits as an important dimension in selecting and assigning academic department chairs and other academic leaders at all levels at higher education institutions.  \nKeywords: personality traits, leadership practices, academic leader  \n1 Faculty of Education, King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia; [moaassiri@kku.edu.sa](moaassiri@kku.edu.sa).  \n256 the big five factors of personality traits and leadership practices of academic ...  \nVelikih pet dejavnikov osebnostnih lastnosti in praksevodenja predstojnikov fakultetnih oddelkov: napovedna študija  \nMohammed Ali Assiri  \n• Ta študija je ugotavljala, ali lahko velikih pet dejavnikov osebnostnih lastnosti napoveduje prakse vodenja pri predstojnikih fakultetnih oddelkov. Študija je imela napovedni raziskovalni načrt; podatki so bili zbrani prek 424 udeležencev v študijskem letu 2023, instrumenta te študije pasta bila dva vprašalnika. Študija je pokazala, da velikih pet dejavnikovosebnostnih lastnosti napoveduje prakse vodenja predstojnikov fakultetnih oddelkov. Dva dejavnika osebnostnih lastnosti, tj. vestnost in odprtost za izkušnje, sta bila statistično značilna in sta napovedovala praksepri zglednem vodenju. Štirje dejavniki (prijetnost, vestnost, odprtost zaizkušnje in ekstravertnost) so bili statistično značilni in so napovedovaliprakse vodenja pri navdihovanju skupne vizije. Trije dejavniki (nevroticizem, ekstravertiranost in vestnost) so bili statistično značilni in sonapovedovali prakse vodenja pri preizpraševanju procesov. Dva dejavnika (vestnost in odprtost za izkušnje) sta bila statistično značilna in stanapovedovala prakse vodenja, ki omogočajo drugim, da ukrepajo. Trije dejavniki (vestnost, prijetnost in odprtost za izkušnje) so bili statističnoznačilni in so napovedovali vodstvene prakse spodbujanja srčnosti. Študija je priporočila, da bi morali vodje fakultetnih oddelkov upoštevatiosebnostne lastnosti kot pomembno dimenzijo pri izbiri in imenovanjupredstojnikov teh oddelkov in drugih akademskih vodij na vseh ravnehv visokošolskih ustanovah.  \nKljučne besede: osebnostne lastnosti, prakse vodenja, akademski vodja  \nIntroduction  \nLeadership is a complex phenomenon in all organisations, including those in the higher education setting.
