Abstract
In this chapter, the authors present a review of the scope and domain of cross-cultural leadership research. The authors begin with a review of the concept of culture and the definition of leadership. They then present a review of cross-cultural leadership research findings to date and advance three empirical generalizations. Following the literature review, the authors turn to a discussion of several theoretical issues relevant to the study of cross-cultural leadership research. Finally, the authors advance some methodological suggestions for the improvement of cross-cultural leadership research and theory.
