Description: Increasingly scholars are calling for more context-specific research drawing on indigenous thought when developing new theories on management practices. Given the importance of mainland and overseas Chinese organizations in today's globalising economy, we examine one particularly important management function's leadership. We adopt a constructionist abductive methodology using triangulation and pattern-matching, to develop a theoretical framework to explain why a traditional leadership style is still prevalent today in Chinese firms. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for leaders managing employees in Chinese firms and for corporate leaders trying to respond to competitive threats from rapidly internationalizing Chinese firms.
