Abstract
This study examined culture, sex, and gender role attitudes in relation to transformational leadership. A sample of 107 university students (21 male, 86 female) responded to the SCS, SRES, and MLQ. The results supported the hypothesis that people with higher collectivism levels are more likely to endorse a transformational leadership style. Contrary to expectations, results indicated that men were more likely to endorse a transformational leadership style than women. This study failed to find support for a relationship between people’s egalitarianism and their employment of a transformational leadership style. Additionally, this study failed to find support for a relationship between collectivism and transformational leadership with egalitarianism as a moderator. Future research should address the national and individual level of culture when examining collectivism and transformational leadership. Additionally, the current findings raise new questions regarding sex differences in transformational leadership, thus future studies should further explore this relationship.
