Graduate College Brown Bag Lecture Series

Russell Guay, Department of Management, will present “To Whom Does Transformational Leadership Matter More?  An Examination of Neurotic and Introverted Followers and Their Organizational Citizenship.” Bring your lunch; cookies will be provided.

In a sample of 215 leaders and 1,284 followers, the positive relationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior was stronger for those who are introverted or neurotic than those who are extraverted or emotionally stable. Therefore, transformational leaders can guide these employees to perform more OCB despite their tendencies to worry, lack confidence, and be shy and withdrawn.
