... For instance, authoritative leaders were described as being high on self-esteem and empathy (Drzewiecka & Roczniewska, 2018;Goleman, 2000). Since the turn of the millennium, an enormous number of novel leadership classifications have been developed, but substantial criticisms have been levied both at individual frameworks of leadership styles and at leadership categorization as a whole, from the standpoint of statistical misspecification and imprecise construct definition and measurement (Fischer & Sitkin, 2023). ...

... As part of this development, we also aimed to examine whether propensity to trust and other-focused trust were differently associated with measures that have been previously shown to be related to trust. Previous research has shown that trust is associated with a range of personality traits (De Jong et al., 2016), as assessed by the Big Five Personality Inventory (Evans and Revelle, 2008), life satisfaction (Abbott et al., 2016), and personal self-esteem (Bao et al., 2016). For instance, perceived trustworthiness (other-focused trust) has been shown to be positively correlated with agreeableness and with conscientiousness (Evans and Revelle, 2008). ...

... Self-awareness is fundamentally defined as the ability to perceive oneself clearly (Eurich, 2018), involving the capacity to become the focus of one's attention. Recent literature (Carden et al., 2022;Chon & Sitkin, 2021;Eurich, 2018;Rasheed et al., 2019) suggests that self-awareness can be understood through content and process dimensions. ...

... 7 (Gustafsson et al., 2021). Trust researchers also agree that distrust and trust are two different constructs, not ends of the same continuum, and that they develop differently (Guo et al., 2017;Sitkin and Bijlsma-Frankema, 2018). This is not irrelevant in OI, where relationships may break, and reputational effects are not solely positive. ...

... In light of this situation, recent research calls for new work to revisit, specify, and extend existing models of trust by taking a richer and more processual perspective on trust (e.g. Dirks & de Jong, 2022;Searle et al., 2018;van der Werff et al., 2019). Moreover, recent work increasingly stresses that the assessment of trustworthiness and trust are context-dependent (Baer & Colquitt, 2018;Moore et al., 2023). ...

... Adopting this approach, RTL is considered to exist independent of the context. Most studies on RTL focus on the individual level and explore individual psychological considerations without attending to variations in temporal, spatial, and socio-cultural contexts (e.g., Chon et al., 2020). The second approach involves treating context as fundamental in dynamically shaping RTL. ...

... Despite this recognition, few studies on populism have investigated charismatic leadership from the followers' perspective. Existing research often relies on researcher ratings (Pappas, 2016), expert surveys (Hawkins, 2011), popularity indexes (Donovan, 2021;Michel et al., 2020;van der Brug & Mughan, 2007), or interviews (Favero, 2022;McDonnell, 2016 Conceptual challenges persist, however, as charisma is frequently studied through ill-defined, overlapping, or theoretically inconsistent dimensions (Antonakis et al., 2016;van Knippenberg & Sitkin, 2013). To address these issues, it is crucial to analyse charisma attribution as a cognitive and emotional process within a well-defined theoretical and methodological framework. ...
