The current study was designed in accordance with this trend. It incorporates the design of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavioral Effectiveness (GLOBE) project(House et al., 1999; 2002) with the findings of a three-year project sponsored by the National Nature Science Foundation of China(NSFC); and tests the applicability of the newly developed value-based leadership(VBL) theory identified by the GLOBE project. We added a new factor, firm environment, into the framework of VBL and tested the model using data collected from 70 Chinese enterprises. We examined the interactions between certain VBL behaviors and firm environment on leadership effectiveness, namely, subordinator commitment, satisfaction, and motivation (CSM).

N2 - Based on the value-based leadership(VBL) theory and the preliminary findings obtained from an empirical study of Chinese business leaders, we propose a new model addressing the dynamic relationships among firm environment, VBL behaviors and leadership effectiveness; and test the model using data collected from 95 firms. Results show that VBL behaviors help improve leadership effectiveness when the company faces intense external competition, even though intensive competition is naturally negative to leadership effectiveness. Value-based leadership can help firms to survive through extremely tough circumstances.
