Charismatic leadership and follower effects
On the basis of the current theories of charismatic leadership, several possible follower effects were identified. It is hypothesized that followers of charismatic leaders could be distinguished by their greater reverence, trust, and satisfaction with their leader and by a heightened sense of collective identity, perceived group task performance, and feelings of empowerment. Using the Conger–Kanungo charismatic leadership scale and measures of th…
Organizational Culture and Human Resource Management Practices
The Model of Culture Fit postulates that the sociocultural environment affects the internal work culture, which in turn influences human resource management practices. This model was tested by two independent cross-cultural studies comparing Indian and Canadian managers and employees. In assessing sociocultural environment and internal work culture, the "participant" technique was used in Study 1 (the respondents indicated their own beliefs and a…
Charismatic Leadership in Organizations
Integrating the growing body of research and theory on the subject, this volume presents a comprehensive model of the charismatic leadership process
Ethical Leadership in Three Dimensions
Is an ethical leader an oxymoron? Society demands and expects greater accountability from organizational leaders. The literature on leadership, especially business leadership, has neglected ethical issues by focusing only on those approaches and strategies that emphasize self-centred, individualistic concerns. How ever, true and effective leadership is one in which the leader's behaviour and the exercise of the leadership influence process are co…
Work Cultures in Indian Organisations
This study examines the differences between the internal work culture of public and private sector organisations in India. 7be model of culture fit was rttilised to explain the ways in which the external sociocultural environment and enterprise variables influence the internal work culture which, in turn, has an impact on human resource management practices. A sample of 493 participants from 3 public and 4 private sector enterprises responded to …
Charismatic leadership in organizations
Recent interest in the charismatic leadership role of managers in organizations calls for the identification and measurement of perceived behavior characteristics of such leadership. This article reports on the development of a questionnaire measure of the perceived behavioral dimensions of charismatic leadership proposed by the Conger and Kanungo (1987, 1988) model. Data were collected from 488 managers belonging to four organizations located in…

Charisma
The paper explores charismatic leadership as a new dimension. A three stage model to understand the charismatic leader's influence process in organisations is proposed. Stage 1 is that of evaluation of status quo, Stage 2 that of formulation of organisational goals, and Stage 3 is the means of achieving these goals. In all stages, the essential and distinctive characteristics of this leadership is articulated. The conclusion is that the mystique …
Managerial Resourcefulness
The diverse nature of the prevailing conceptualizations of skills required for successful managerial performance hinders our understanding of the phenomenon. This paper examines the limitations to our understanding of the nature of managerial skills based on the analysis of managerial jobs that are often non-routine, unprogrammed, and ill-structured. A framework that distinguishes between managerial "skills" and "competencies" along several dimen…
Work Culture In Developing Countries
The paper identifies several characteristics of the socio-cultural environment and anternal work culture of organisations in developing countries, and discusses the reasons why such characteristics have facilitating or constraining effects on the installation and implementation of the performance management process. The paper also proposes specific organisational interventions for each step of the process to make it congruent with the internal wo…
Measurement of Family Involvement
This article reports on the development of a cross-culturally validated standardized measure of family involvement. Family involvement is operationalized on the basis of the motivational formulation of involvement and alienation (Kanungo, 1979) and studied in a bi-national setting. Data from heterogeneous samples of 269 Indian and 168 Canadian employees reveal that the eight-item family involvement scale has satisfactory psychometric properties. …

The Motivational Formulation of Job and Work Involvement
This paper extends the motivational formulation and measurement of job and work involvement constructs (Kanungo, 1982b) and tests its cross-cultural implications by reporting on two studies conducted in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and India. Results pertaining to the empirical properties (reliability and validity) of the new job and work involvement measures obtained in the FRG and Indian contexts generally support results reported by K…
Measurement of job and work involvement.
Developed separate measures of job and work constructs using 3 techniques: semantic differential, questionnaire, and graphic. Assessment measures included the Job Involvement and Work Involvement Questionnaires, Job Involvement and Work Involvement Semantic Differentials, and Job Involvement and Wor
Affiliation and Autonomy under Stress
Studies of stress and affiliation (3) suggest that workers who experience more stress in their jobs will exhibit greater affiliative behavior than workers who experience less stress. However, the former group of workers may show less desire for autonomy and responsibility in their jobs, because under higher levels of stress greater job responsibility may be viewed more as a burden than a challenge (1). To test these hypotheses, 142 nursing staff …
Attitudes Toward a Communication System
The purpose of this study was to explore the hypothesis that the French and English Canadians, due to their unique cultural backgrounds, differ in their perceptions of and satisfaction with the nature of the organizational communication system under which they operate. The study was conducted in a large community general hospital. A total of 977 or 65.9 percent of the employees (of the 1,483 employees asked to complete the questionnaire) responde…
The concepts of alienation and involvement revisited
To clarify and operationalize the concepts of alienation and involvement, several current sociological and psychological approaches to the concepts are examined. Several common sources of confusion surrounding the treatment of the concepts are identified. A motivational formulation of the concepts i
Effects of Semantic Consensus Index on Associative Response Strength
2 experiments that test the validity of the Semantic Consensus Index are reported. The effects of this index on measures of associative response strength were measured in Exp. I. Results showed that keeping both meaningfulness and imagery constant, the index seems to be a good predictor of response latency. In Exp. II, its effects in a paired-associate learning situation were examined; results suggest that the semantic consensus value of stimulus…

Measure of Communicative Meaning of Words
The present paper developed a conceptual framework and a technique of studying the communicative meaning of words, and explored the relation of communication meaning with other known meaning dimensions. The communicative meaning of each of the 98 nouns was measured in terms of the homogeneity of associative responses elicited by the nouns and the reliability of the resulting scale SCI was tested. The intergroup reliability coefficient was 0.941. …
Effects of Verbal Repetition on Meaning Intensity and Retention of Functors
The effects of satiation treatment of functors on their intensity of connotative meaning and retention were studied. An additional purpose was to explore the possibility of an interaction between context effects and statistical regression effects in rating the functors on semantic differential scales. A retroaction paradigm was used in which either the stimuli or responses or a control set of functors were given satiation treatment during the int…

Paired‐associate Learning as a Function of Stimulus and Response Satiation
Two experiments, one using highly meaningful pairs and the other using low meaningful pairs, were performed to determine the effects of stimulus and response satiation in paired‐associate learning. Results indicated that: ( a ) satiation treatment of highly meaningful words produces a decrease in their meaning, whereas similar treatment of low meaningful words does not produce significant semantic change; ( b ) with highly meaningful S‐R pairs, p…

Semantic Satiation of Words and Numbers
One purpose of the study reported is to compare the effect of continuous verbal repetition on the semantic ratings of words and numbers. A second is to examine the effectiveness of the semantic differential to index distinctive features of numbers as well as words. The procedure used is parallel to an earlier study on semantic satiation with words with the notable difference that, in the present case, a completely mechanized method is developed t…

Meaning Mediation in Verbal Transfer
The role of synonymity and antonymity as mediators in verbal transfer in the absence of any confounding effects of associative connexions was studied. Using an A—B, A—B', A—B paradigm, subjects learned under three different conditions in each of which B and B had least pre‐laboratory associative connexions. In a control condition, B and B ′ were semantically unrelated and, in the other two experimental conditions, B and B ′ had either synonym or …
