ABSTRACT

This research describes the emergence and effectiveness of charismatic leadership among middle-level leaders in Korean central agencies. It was found that charismatic leadership appeared when performance appraisal was unstable and when there was a clear reporting system in bureaucracies. External political influence was not significantly related to charismatic leadership. Charismatic leadership was effective in meeting clients’ needs in public sector organizations. This research suggests that the emergence of charismatic leadership at the middle-level in public organizations is related to the organizational context and the leadership is effective for public performance.
