Abstract

This　research　examines　how　the　effectiveness　of　transformational　leadership　may　vary　depending　on　the　cultural　values　of　an　individual.　We　develop　the　logic　for　why　the　individual　value　of　traditionality　(emphasizing　respect　for　hierarchy　in　relationships)　moderates　the　relationship　between　six　dimensions　of　transformational　leadership　and　leadership　effectiveness.　The　hypotheses　are　examined　on　leaders　from　Asia　and　North　America.　The　results　indicate　support　for　the　moderating　effect　of　traditional　values　on　the　relationship　between　four　dimensions　of　transformational　leadership　(appropriate　role　model,　intellectual　stimulation,　high　performance　expectations,　and　articulating　a　vision)　on　leadership　effectiveness.
