Age and Leadership 1 Running head: AGE AND LEADERSHIP Age and Leadership: The Moderating Role of Legacy Beliefs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Age and age-related motivations have been neglected in leadership research. This study examined the moderating influence of legacy beliefs on the relationships between age and transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant leadership behaviors. Legacy beliefs involve individuals’ convictions about whether they and their actions will be remembered, have an enduring influence, and leave something behind after death. It was expected that at higher ages, low legacy beliefs impede transformational and transactional leadership behaviors and boost passiveavoidant leadership behaviors. 106 university professors, between 30 and 70 years old, provided ratings of their legacy beliefs; each professor’s leadership behaviors were evaluated by one of his or her employees. Results confirmed the assumptions for overall transformational leadership and its charisma subdimension as well as for overall transactional leadership and its active management-by-exception subdimension, but not for passive-avoidant leadership.
