Abstract

The study of Bulgarian culture and organizational leadership was based on the application of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) research instruments. Based on two surveys of 226 managers we created the profile of societal culture and the profile of leadership perceived as effective in that culture. We then compared the empirically derived results with the theoretically generated leadership profile for Bulgaria and partially confirmed the hypothesis that culture is predictive of effective leadership. The paper contributes to the scholarly discussion about culture’s effects in leadership and to the analysis of managers’ behaviors in a country that has been on a periphery of cross-cultural studies.
