Abstract
Purpose: to analyze the association between self-perceived communicative competence and personality traits in university professors.
Methods: observational, cross-sectional study conducted with 100 university professors. The instruments used were the Self-Assessment Test of Communicative Competence (TACCom), the HEXACO-60 Personality Inventory, and a questionnaire with sociodemographic questions. The instruments were sent to participants via the Google Forms platform. The response variable was based on TACCom, the explanatory variable was the response obtained from HEXACO-60, with sex and age as covariates.
Results: the group of university professors with higher scores in self-perceived communicative competence also showed higher scores in the Honesty-Humility and Conscientiousness domains of HEXACO. Conscientiousness was the personality domain associated with self-perceived communicative competence in the multivariate model. Each unit increase in the Conscientiousness score was associated with a 2% increase in the likelihood of having a more positive perception of communicative competence.
Conclusion: university professors who perceive themselves as good communicators tend to score high in Conscientiousness. Thus, characteristics of the Conscientiousness trait, such as time management, organization, commitment, and focus on work/goals, appear to favor university professors' self-perception of oral communication skills.
