| Abstract: | Based on data from Project GLOBE (Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness) and a supplemental analysis, this paper explores beliefs about four aspects of ethical leadership: i. Character/Integrity, ii. Altruism, iii. Collective Motivation and iv. Encouragement in Germany and the United States (U.S). Herein, two questions are in focus: 1. Do middle managers from the United States and Germany differ in their beliefs about ethical leadership? 2. Do individuals from these two countries attribute different characteristics to ethical leaders? It is found that while German and U.S. middle managers, on average, differ in the degree of endorsement for each aspect, they each endorse Character/Integrity, Collective Motivation and Encouragement as important for effective leadership, having a more neutral view of the importance of Altruism. |
