Based on western leading charismatic leadership model, this research demonstrates the critical position of the virtue component on a charismatic view of leadership and further formulates a moral-added charismatic leadership model adaptable to the Taiwanese business contexts. We investigate how this moral-added charismatic leadership and Chinese paternalistic leadership models fit with the actual leadership practices in Taiwanese business organizations. We go through the major western charismatic leadership and Chinese paternalistic leadership theory literature and infer that both the charismatic leadership and
the virtuous leadership dimension are culture-free leadership constructs, so they can be cross-culturally merged. We obtained 314 samples from managers in Taiwanese civilian organizations, and conduct the statistical analyses by using SEM technique. The findings indicate the Western Conger and Kanungo¡¦s charismatic leadership model is adoptable in Taiwan business context, and a more effective charismatic model can be formed when the virtue leadership factor is merged with this C/K charismatic leadership model. The present study also demonstrates that both the Western originated C/K charismatic leadership and the benevolent and virtue leadership dimensions of Chinese Paternalistic leadership in same constrained model can they respectively predict follower¡¦s cognitive leadership effect. We posit that managers receive follower¡¦s positive recognition by demonstrating strategic vision and articulation, sensitivity to member¡¦s needs, virtue leadership and benevolent behaviors.
The present study merges Western originated charismatic leadership with Oriental virtue leadership dimension for a cross-cultural verification, perform the consolidate study of the charismatic leadership and Chinese paternalistic leadership, identify some key issues for future study, and provide managerial implications for leadership practitioners.
