ABSTRACT
With their UK and US origins, leadership theories have undergone
tremendous empirical researches and gained practical implications in
western world. But the generality and universality of these theories are
not necessarily proper. Under swift transformations in all aspects of
society, the strengthening of leadership in the government of X city in
china at different levels is an outstanding issue in rounds of
governmental reforms. This project aims to explore the appropriateness
of transactional and transformational leadership approaches in X’s local
government sectors under Chinese cultural context.
This project examines the literature on leadership by identifying key
theories and approaches in the development of leadership. Special efforts
are given to the comparison of transactional and transformational
leadership approaches, and the influence of culture on
leadership(Hofstede’s dimensions). The review finds that the
appropriateness of leadership approaches is confined to real cultural
contexts.
Applying an inductive approach, data collected from semi-structured
interviews with convenient samples in X’s local government sectors
examines the application and effectiveness of transactional and
transformational leadership approaches based on Bass and Avolio’s (1997)
full-range leadership model. Research shows that leadership in X’s local
government sectors is taking transactional approach as the basis with a
trend to apply some elements of transformational style. In this process,
Chinese culture has a deep-rooted influence on leadership with updated
changes.
Following the analysis and conclusion, recommendations at the end of the
article are categorized: To learn subordinates’ motives to work,
leaders should take a proactive and open-minded manner to find out and
develop different methods to stimulate them; Leaders should improve their
Charisma by negotiating, participating, studying and being paragons of
virtue。
