Имплицитни теории за лидерството на български мениджъри: Крос-културно сравнение с 62 общества
Implicit leadership theories of Bulgarian managers: Cross-cultural comparison with 62 societies

Summary/Abstract: Implicit leadership theories can be considered as cognitive schemata or prototypes which enable a person to categorize the behavior of the leader. Successful leader performance depends on how the leader is perceived and then accepted by the followers. In the present study the implicit leadership theories of Bulgarian managers are compared to a large sample from 62 societies studied by the GLOBE project. Special attention is the comparison with the managers from the European countries. The implicit theories of Western European vs. Eastern, post-socialist managers and the relation of the Bulgarian sample to this division are studied. In general the results show closeness of the Bulgarian implicit theories to the ones of countries with which Bulgaria shares common past and has similar cultural-historical background. The practical and social implications of the findings are discussed.
