Impact of Transformational Leadership on Follower’s Performance and Organizational Outcomes in Transforming Economies: Examination of the Influence of Mediation and Moderation

Description

Understanding what constitutes effective leadership continues to be one of the areas of greatest interest to both managers and academics, however, only limited work has been done on this in the context of transforming economies and it continues to be puzzling to many. This is likely one reason there is great diversity in results among foreign firms who have tried to work in countries such as China, with some reaching great success and others meeting frustrating failure. This research seeks to help develop a more refined understanding of what constitutes effective leadership in large transforming economies like China so that management theory will be advanced and firms can avoid a trail and error approach to leadership in the future.
