How Life Experiences and Cultural Context Matter: A Multilevel Framework of Global Leader Effectiveness
Abstract
We explore the implications of social cognitive and contact theories as applied to leader effectiveness in a global context. Specifically, we test a multilevel, moderated mediated model using a sample of 755 global leaders and their supervisors from 43 countries. These leaders were drawn from mostly senior executive ranks in large global corporations. Our findings support hypotheses confirming the indirect relationship of intense multicultural life exposure through global mindset in the prediction of global leader effectiveness, as well as the moderating role of home country culture tightness. These findings have implications for the selection and development of leaders in global roles.
