Need For Leadership: Empirical Evidence From Pakistan

Abstract

Abundant research has been carried out throughout the years to explore the moderator effect of situational variables in leadership literature around the globe. However, this area is the most neglected area among the behavioral scientists of Pakistan. Therefore, the present study seeks to find out the moderator effect of need for leadership in relation with leadership characteristics on subordinates’ behavioral outcomes using the need for leadership framework of de Vries (1997) in Pakistani work settings. As a result, the practical implications of the findings are discussed.
