Basing on western leading charismatic leadership model, this study tries to investigate and realize how this model can fit with the actual leadership practices in Taiwanese business organizations. Also, this study explores how humor can moderate the correlation between charismatic leadership behavior and its effects. We reviewed the major western charismatic leadership theory literatures and realized that the charismatic leadership stands at the critical position of the 21st century dominating leadership style-the transformation leadership. We firstly conclude that Taiwanese high rank managers can both demonstrate the charismatic leadership behaviors described in western leading charismatic leadership model and use humor actively. Besides, we found that Taiwanese top managers' charismatic behaviors may go far beyond the ones mentioned in the western charismatic leadership model. Therefore, we comment that no one unique leadership theory can be generalized in both western and oriental world. Finally, we identify key research issues for future study and the implication in management practices for Taiwanese business organizations. |
