How Inclusive Leadership Enhances Follower Taking Charge: The Mediating Role of Affective Commitment and the Moderating Role of Traditionality

摘要

Leaders try to stimulate follower taking charge to promote organizational change and effectiveness in current increasingly complex and changing environment.

Furthermore, traditionality should be a relevant boundary condition to moderate such a relationship in China.
