Both theory and conventional assumption suggest that transformational leaders are geared toward the betterment of the followers and the organization, but scholars have also suggested that transformational leaders may not always hold virtuous values. Inauthentic or pseudotrans formational leaders are concerned more with the pursuit of their own interests and less of that of others. The results of an 18-month longitudinal study involving 42 CEOs, 177 top management team members, and 605 middle managers suggest that the positive influence of transformational leadership on follower’ organizational commitment (in terms of both affective commitment and intention to stay) was enhanced when the CEOs held self-transcendence values but that there was no effect from self-enhancement values. However, 18 months later, the organizational commitment of followers led by transformational CEOs was dampened when the CEOs held self-enhancement values. Text analysis of interviews with the CEOs provided insight on the contextualized meaning of the two types of personal values and offered insights into the motivation of leaders holding each kind of values (pursuing either their own happiness or the happiness of others). We discuss the implications of the findings for future research on leadership values in China and beyond.
