Linking Leader Skills, Follower Attitudes, and Contextual Variables via an Integrated Model of Charismatic Leadership

College of Business and Economics, Department of Management, California State University, Los Angeles, 5151 State University Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90032-8126, kgroves{at}calstatela.edu

A charismatic leadership model consisting of leader social and emotional skills, follower openness to organizational change, and organizational-change magnitude was tested using data from 108 leaders and 325 direct followers in 64 organizations. Leader social control and emotional expressivity skills predicted charismatic leadership whereas follower openness to change mediated the relationship between charismatic leadership and leadership effectiveness. Surprisingly, organizational-change magnitude did not moderate the relationship between charismatic leadership and leadership effectiveness. Implications for leadership theory, practice, and future research are discussed.

Key Words: charismatic leadership • leader social/emotional skills • organizational change • follower attitudes
