Transformationale und charismatische Führung - Stand der Forschung und aktuelle Entwicklungen

Published Online:October 26, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/1617-6391.5.4.163

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Seit Mitte der 80er Jahre werden in der Führungsforschung verstärkt Ansätze der charismatischen bzw. transformationalen Führung diskutiert und untersucht. Nach anfänglicher Zurückhaltung ist das Konzept der transformationalen Führung auch in deutschsprachigen Ländern aufgegriffen worden und hat eine ganze Reihe weiterer Forschungsarbeiten angeregt. Dieser Übersichtsbeitrag gibt einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung. Berichtet werden nicht nur neue Entwicklungen im Bereich der Messung transformationaler Führung, sondern vor allem Ergebnisse, die die Bedeutung transformationaler Führung für unterschiedliche Erfolgskriterien wie Commitment, OCB und Kreativität unterstreichen. Neuere Befunde zu Mediatoren und Moderatoren helfen besser zu verstehen, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen transformationale Führung wirkt. Außerdem gibt es neue Erkenntnisse zum Einfluss der Persönlichkeit der Mitarbeiter auf den Prozess transformationaler Führung. Die Trainierbarkeit, für die es erste empirische Belege gibt, stellt eine viel versprechende Anwendungsperspektive für die Führungskräfteentwicklung dar. Nicht zuletzt werden Kontroversen und offene Fragen verdeutlicht, die von der zukünftigen Forschung aufgegriffen werden können.


Transformational and charismatic leadership: State of research and perspectives

Abstract. Transformational and charismatic leadership has received growing interest and increasing research activities for over 20 years. After an initial period of hesitation and scepticism this concept was also picked up by researchers in German speaking countries and inspired a growing bulk of empirical studies. This article provides an overview with regard to recent lines of research. New developments with regard to the measurement of transformational leadership are outlined, and recent results are reported that underline the impact of transformational leadership for success criteria such as commitment, OCB, and creativity. Current findings with regard to mediators and moderators improve a more detailed understanding of the influence of transformational leadership. Moreover the role of employees’ personality has been examined more deeply. As there is empirical evidence that transformational leadership can be trained, executive training programs appear to be a promising perspective for the application of the concept. Finally, current controversies and open questions are identified that may be useful for further research.
