| dc.description.abstract | The choice of clothing and accessories for senior executives is not only a manifestation of personal style, but also a symbol of leadership style, but how to dress in a way that shows leadership, confident, and professional to employees and subordinates? This study aims to examine the clothing and accessories of senior executives and how these external elements affect perceptions of managerial attributes.
Three experiments were used to investigate the research purposes below:
1.To investigate the perceptual effects of upper body type, jacket style, and briefcase style on the functional attributes of senior executives.
2.To investigate the perceptual effects of tie style, watch conspicuousness, and hair color on the functional attributes of senior executives.
3.To investigate the perceptual effects of lower body type, shoe style, and belt style on the functional attributes of senior executives.
This study adopts the experimental method to obtain the data from the samples by completing the paper-based questionnaire, and the following are the main findings of this study:
1.Wearing a shirt with suit jacket and suit trousers is more effective in maximizing the leadership influence of senior executives, and if there is a need to emphasize professionalism, it can be combined with a briefcase.
2.Tie style has a limited impact on the executive′s functional attributes, but a low-key watch and brunette hairstyle have a significant impact on functional attributes, suggesting that the choice of accessories has a greater impact on the executive′s image than his or her clothing, especially the wear of a watch.
3.Wearing suit trousers and leather shoes underneath can make executives perceived as better in terms of execution, leadership, professionalism, and decision-making, and if paired with a plain leather belt at the same time, it can help emphasize leadership and execution. | en_US |
