This article reports on a major, large-scale two-year empirical study to investigate intercultural competencies among global leaders and the relationship of these competencies to criteria of high performance global leadership. The study was designed to contribute to the emerging field of global leadership research by identifying and measuring proximal attributes and leadership criteria as suggested by Zaccaro's trait-based leadership model (American Psychologist 62: 6-16, 2007). Only global leaders were included in the study - CEO's, General Managers, Function Heads, or those with Profit and Loss responsibility for their businesses. These 1867 leaders of 13 nationalities were engaged in leading people across cultures - either on international assignment or working from their home base. A set of six intercultural competencies and three criteria of global leadership success were identified and compared across nationalities. The competencies were measured and used to predict success over time. Applications are discussed in terms of global leadership assessment and development.
本文报道了一项为期两年的大型实证研究,旨在调查全球领导者的跨文化能力,以及这些能力与全球高效领导力标准之间的关系。该研究旨在通过识别和衡量扎卡罗基于特质的领导模型(《美国心理学家》62: 6 - 16, 2007)所提出的近端属性和领导标准,为新兴的全球领导力研究领域做出贡献。该研究仅纳入全球领导者——首席执行官、总经理、职能部门负责人,或对其业务负有盈亏责任的人员。这1867名来自13个国家的领导者参与跨文化领导工作——要么是在国际任务中,要么是在其本国工作。研究确定了一组六种跨文化能力和三种全球领导成功标准,并对不同国籍的情况进行了比较。对这些能力进行了测量,并用于预测长期的成功。本文还从全球领导力评估和发展的角度讨论了相关应用。
