Description
Summary:Presents part of the findings of the Project GLOBE, a long-term multi-method, multi-phase, cross-cultural research programme concerned with the differential effects of leadership and organisational practices and values in 61 cultures. Objectives were to examine effective Qatari and Kuwaiti leadership traits /behaviors and implicit leadership theory from a culturally conscious perspective; to assess the impact of the managers' demographic characteristics on their perception of the traits of outstanding leaders; and to examine the internal consistency, construct, and external validities of the measures of the Culturally Endorsed Implicit Leadership Theory in the Arabian Gulf region.
