| Popis: | Though emerging from qualitatively different leadership paradigms, House's (1977) conceptualization of charisma and French and Raven's (1968) personal power bases intuitively appear to represent similar leader characteristics. The present investigation examined the distinction among these constructs using ratings of leaders obtained from 142 state government employees. Structural equations analysis with LISREL VII showed support that: (1) charisma is an empirically distinct construct than referent and expert power; and (2) charisma uniquely contributes to the prediction of subordinates' attitudes above and beyond referent and expert power. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are addressed. |
