Abstract

We investigated the correlation between leadership types and performance in different national cultural contexts and across sectors through a meta-analysis of 79 studies published between 1995 and 2020 using a random effects model. Although the analysis indicated that the type of leadership has only a medium-level effect on performance, our moderator analysis of the national culture variable found that the effect of leadership on performance was significantly higher in vertical-collectivist cultures, in healthcare and production and for the democratic leadership type. Our results also indicated a relationship between performance types and the effect of leadership on performance. As such our analysis contributes to our understanding of the relationship between leadership and performance in different national contexts and across sectors, in that national culture is an important moderator in the relationship between leadership and performance. Although only focusing on quantitative correlation studies, our work paves the way for more detailed qualitative research that can further focus on the nature of leadership and its relationship to performance in different cultural settings.

领导对绩效的影响:一个跨文化的元分析

我们使用随机效应模型，对1995年至2020年间发表的79项研究进行了荟萃分析，研究了不同国家文化背景和跨部门的领导类型与绩效之间的相关性。虽然分析表明，领导类型对绩效只有中等水平的影响，但我们对国家文化变量的调节分析发现，在垂直集体主义文化、医疗保健和生产以及民主领导类型中，领导对绩效的影响显著更高。我们的研究结果也显示了绩效类型与领导对绩效的影响之间的关系。因此，我们的分析有助于我们理解不同国家背景和跨部门的领导力和绩效之间的关系，因为国家文化是领导力和绩效之间关系的重要调节因素。虽然只关注定量相关性研究，但我们的工作为更详细的定性研究铺平了道路，这些研究可以进一步关注不同文化背景下领导力的性质及其与绩效的关系。
