Abstract
Studies have emphasised that expatriates’
leadership style plays
a pivotal role. It has been considered
as a prime criterion to be
successful and effective in the
host country. This study has examined
twenty-five Japanese and
Twenty-three American expats in
India focusing on their leadership
styles. In order to determine
the leadership styles of these managers
from altogether different
countries the study has investigated
ten leadership components.
Furthermore, these results were
analysed to identify the differences
and similarities. Statistical
tests revealed that there were significant
differences on four leadership
components out of ten and
the remaining six leadership components
had non-significant differences.
The study also sheds
light on the implications for expatriates,
with regard to leadership
effectiveness.
