accounted for approximately 50 <strong>and</strong> 34 per cent respectively <strong>of</strong> the common variance in<br />

the factor analysis. Other investigators have noted the relevance <strong>of</strong> these two aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

leadership with personality. Freud (1948) discussed the importance <strong>of</strong> consideration <strong>and</strong><br />

libidinal ties in the relationship between the leader <strong>and</strong> the group. Homans’ (1948, Ch.<br />

16) concept <strong>of</strong> the leader “originating interaction” is essentially Initiating-Structure-in-<br />

Interaction. These two dimensions <strong>of</strong> leader behaviour are analogous to constructs that<br />

were developed in the field <strong>of</strong> personality theory, related to Rank’s (1950) principles <strong>of</strong><br />

love <strong>and</strong> force <strong>and</strong> to Bronfenbrenner’s (1951) dimensions <strong>of</strong> support <strong>and</strong> structure.<br />

Relationships <strong>of</strong> leader behaviour <strong>and</strong> personality are outside the scope <strong>of</strong> this study;<br />

however, evidence exists that such an investigation using the LBDQXII <strong>and</strong> an<br />

appropriate personality survey might prove interesting <strong>and</strong> useful.<br />

MODELS OF INTERNATIONAL LEADER BEHAVIOUR<br />

I will now discuss some models <strong>and</strong> schematic representations <strong>of</strong> leadership <strong>and</strong> culture.<br />

There are many <strong>and</strong> most have some merit for depicting <strong>and</strong> explaining antecedents <strong>and</strong><br />

consequences <strong>of</strong> leader behaviour. I will start with the model developed by the GLOBE<br />

project (House et al., 2004, diagram provided by Mansour Javidan, personal<br />

communication, 2006). It is diagrammed in Figure 2.4.<br />
