摘要
Understanding the antecedents of transformational leadership is an important issue, given the potential benefits of this leadership style. Based on the trait activation model (Tett & Burnett, 2003), this study aimed at testing the moderating role of the organizational context on the relationship between personality and transformational leadership. Results from regression analyses on a sample of 89 leaders and their 643 followers show that leaders who have relationship-oriented personalities emerge as transformational leaders only when they evolve in a supportive organizational context. These results support the relevance of considering the effect of individual factors and contextual factors together to better understand the conditions that are conducive to the adoption of transformational leadership.
