The aim of this study is to reveal the influence of hospital managers’ personality characteristics on their perceptions of serviced leadership characteristics. The universe of the study is made up of the top managers of 353 hospitals with a capacity of 100 and more beds connected to the Ministry of Health (the head doctor, the administrative financial services director and the health care services director).

In the analysis of data, the structural equality model has been used for identificative statistics such as frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation as well as for multi-variable analysis. According to the research findings, the highest average size of personality characteristics that managers have is responsibility (6,662±0,666) and the lowest average size of experience (5,157±1,103). According to the findings of managers’ serviced leadership perceptions, the share leadership size (6,625±0,463) was the highest participation of health managers, while the lowest participation was the strengthening and development of others (6,276±0,630).
