Explores the interplay between cultural values and employee responses to different leadership styles. Drawing on a study by Walumbwa, Lawler, and Avolio, the research investigates how cultural contexts—specifically collectivism (allocentrism) and individualism (idiocentrism)—moderate the effectiveness of transformational and transactional leadership. Transformational leadership, which emphasizes group values and collective interests, was found to resonate more strongly with allocentric employees in collectivistic cultures. In contrast, transactional leadership, which focuses on individual roles and rewards, was more effective with idiocentric employees in individualistic cultures. The study highlights the importance of aligning leadership styles with employees' cultural values to enhance satisfaction, organizational commitment, and overall effectiveness. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of leadership, suggesting that cultural alignment at both individual and societal levels can intensify employee reactions. Despite limitations such as a narrow sample of industries and countries, the research offers valuable insights for international managers, advocating for adaptive leadership approaches in diverse cultural settings. The article also briefly touches on reward allocation principles (equity, equality, need) across cultures, further emphasizing the role of cultural values in organizational practices. This work contributes to the broader discourse on cross-cultural leadership and its implications for global management.
