Organizational leadership is fundamental for the working and development of current organizations. It helps members of an organization to face transcendental challenges. One of the fundamental aspects of leaders is their personal characteristics and behaviour as perceived by their co-workers. Although research has established a relationship between these components, findings have failed to come up with any congruent evidence and further to this the organizations and contexts used are from several decades ago. This article, which forms part of the international GLOBE project, analyses the relationship between motives and behaviour as perceived by co-workers in organizations, using quantitative and qualitative methods and including technological innovations. Using samples from 40 corporate directors and 84 of their co-workers, from different companies, it confirms how the main motives of leaders (power, affiliation and achievement) are related to different behavioral patterns (power to authoritarian, non-dependent and non-social-skill behaviours; affiliation to relationship and dependent behaviors, and achievement to proactive behaviors). It discusses the results with relation to traditional research and suggests practical measures and proposals for future investigations in this area.
组织领导力是当前组织运作与发展的基础。它帮助组织成员应对重大挑战。领导者的一个基本方面是其同事所感知到的个人特质和行为。尽管研究已经确立了这些要素之间的关系，但研究结果未能得出任何一致的证据，而且进一步来说，所使用的组织和背景都是几十年前的。本文作为国际全球领导力和组织行为有效性（GLOBE）项目的一部分，运用定量和定性方法并纳入技术创新，分析了组织中同事所感知到的动机与行为之间的关系。通过来自不同公司的40位企业董事及其84位同事的样本，证实了领导者的主要动机（权力、归属和成就）如何与不同的行为模式相关联（权力与独裁、非依赖和非社交技能行为相关；归属与关系和依赖行为相关，成就与积极行为相关）。文章结合传统研究对结果进行了讨论，并针对该领域未来的调查提出了实际措施和建议。
