Description

Two studies were conducted in China and the US. The results demonstrated that leaders’ power distance boosts their belief in the effectiveness of discipline-focused authoritarian leadership and need for power, resulting in the manifestation of discipline- or dominance-focused authoritarian leadership, respectively. In addition, Chinese leaders exhibited higher power distance scores and stronger beliefs in the effectiveness of authoritarian leadership than US leaders.
