Beijing, China
In a 1st attempt to identify an implicit theory of leadership among Chinese people, the authors
developed the Chinese Implicit Leadership Scale (CILS) in Study 1. In Study 2, we administered
the CILS to 622 Chinese participants from 5 occupation groups, to explore the perceptions of
leadership. Factor analysis yielded 4 factors of leadership: Personal Morality, Goal Efficiency,
Interpersonal Competence, and Versatility. In Study3, recently we administered the CILS to 700
Chinese participants again for re-exploring the factor structure and the features of the implicit
leadership in China nowadays. We also find that nowadays Chinese pays much attention to the
leader’s moral quality and abilities, likes 10 year ago.
3058.2 Organizational leadership cultures across countries, E. Van de Vliert, University of
Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
This paper addresses the impact of atmospheric climate and national wealth on country-specific
cultures in organizations. It proposes that basic needs for thermal comfort, nutritional comfort, and
health make cold and hot climates more demanding than temperate climates, that wealth-related
resources help to meet those climatic demands, that mismatches between climatic demands and
climatic resources produce self-oriented cultures, and that matches between climatic demands and
climatic resources produce other-oriented cultures. Empirical support for this climate-by-wealth
explanation of organizational culture comes from a 54-nation study of leader reliance on
subordinates for information, a 76-nation study of leader reliance on subordinates through
delegation, and a 61-nation study of the endorsement of autocratic leadership in organizations.
