Abstract
According to past literatures, Charismatic leaders are future oriented and open to change, encouraging followers express new ideas. But some researchers point out that followers who believe in the leader will be inhibited from pointing out flaws or suggesting improvements. This inconsistent result, it’s possible that there are different influence mechanism of charismatic leadership. To sum up , the present study explores personal identification and conformity as two intermediate mechanisms that can help explain the voice and silence behavior between a charismatic leader and his or her followers. Sampling from 353 employees and their supervisors, the result showed that charismatic leadership was positively related to subordinat’s voice and silence behavior. Furthermore, It was found that the relationship between charismatic leadership and follower voice is mediated by personal identification whereas conformity mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and cooperative silence. Lastly, we discussed the limits and contributions of the study and practical implications from the study.
