| Summary: | The findings indicated that the economic environment and the cultural and religious orientations of managers in Saudi Arabia significantly influenced their scores on Machiavellianism and the relationships between their needs and leadership styles. In comparison to the U.S. norms the Saudi Arabian managers were found to be lower on Machiavellianism. Need for achievement was found to be positively related to need for power and “structure” dimension of leadership. The findings also showed Machiavellianism to be positively related to need for power and negatively related to “consideration” dimension of leadership. The findings are discussed in the context of a fast-growing economy and a highly religious and a traditional society. |
