The Impact of Leadership Practices Within Cultures
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose This study investigated the behaviors of leaders across economically-distressed regions within four countries (Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Philippines), whether the impact of their behavior would be differentially affected by culture, and the psychometric properties of the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) in this setting. Design Health care leaders and their constituents were surveyed regarding the frequency to which various leadership behaviors were engaged in. In a separate survey leaders indicated the extent to which they were engaged and positive about their work and provided demographic information. Constituents also completed a separate survey and described the effectiveness level of their leader. Analyses of leadership behaviors were conducted for respondents by country and by type (leaders versus constituents) across countries and within countries, as well as examining the impact of leadership behaviors on leader engagement and constituent evaluations of leader effectiveness. Psychometric properties of the LPI were examined.
