Lend me your wallets: the effect of charismatic leadership on external support for an organization

We argue that charismatic leadership can influence external support for the organization, particularly in making the company more attractive to outside investors. Two studies were conducted to test this general hypothesis. First, an archival study demonstrated that the stock of companies headed by charismatic leaders appreciated more than the stock of comparable companies, even after differences in corporate performance were controlled. It was also found that the effect of charismatic leadership was heightened under more difficult economic conditions. Second, an experiment was conducted in which the salience of charismatic leadership was manipulated, along with information about the prospects for an organization's turnaround. Results showed that appeals from a charismatic leader led to increased investment in the firm, and the leader's influence was greater when the prospects for an organizational turnaround were more difficult. It was also found that an endowment of stock enhanced the influence of charismatic appeals and that charismatic leadership may have affected the general risk propensities of followers. These findings were interpreted in terms of an external perspective on leadership, illustrating how leaders can manage the firm's economic and social environment.

领导风格与员工工作态度——互惠和信任的中介作用的实证研究

互惠和信任是社会交换的普适准则。本文基于社会交换理论，以中国境内各类企业972位管理人员为样本，试图研究领导风格与员工工作态度之间的关系，尤其是组织与员工间的互惠和员工的组织信任在其中的中介作用。在初步研究的基础上，本文对变革型领导、事务型领导、广义互惠、平衡互惠、员工的组织信任、组织承诺和离职意愿各概念进行了系统的探索性分析和验证性分析，接着检验了这七个核心概念的区分效度。研究结论表明：（1）变革型领导不仅直接对员工的组织信任和组织承诺产生作用，而且通过组织对员工的广义和平衡互惠使员工产生对组织的信任，从而提高员工的组织承诺和降低员工的离职意愿；（2）事务型领导仅仅通过互惠对员工的组织信任和组织承诺产生作用；（3）广义互惠直接影响员工的组织承诺，平衡互惠通过组织信任影响员工的组织承诺。研究结论告诉我国企业领导者，首先，尽可能锻炼自己，努力成为变革型领导者。其次，要努力塑造互惠和信任的企业文化，并且特别着重于建设广义互惠的企业文化和制度环境。     

The transformational management of conflict: A perspective from the early Christian church

An understanding of transformational leadership has been developed for many spheres of management, but not previously for organizational conflict. This paper analyzes a successful conflict mediation attempt in the early Christian church and draws from it elements of a model of the transformational management of conflict that can be applied by managers in many contemporary work organizations. The elements include (a) reframing the conflict, (b) a focus on a shared organizational vision, (c) the placement of responsibility for dispute resolution in the hands of organizational members directly and indirectly involved in conflict, and (d) the use of communication devices consistent with the desired outcome. The paper suggests skills necessary for managers to implement the model and implications for research on it.
