ECMLG 2015 11th European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance Academia Militar Lisbon, Portugal 12-13 November 2015 Conference Chair: Major-General João Vieira Borges, Military Academy, Lisbon, Portugal Programme Chair: Lieutenant-Colonel José Carlos Dias Rouco, Military Academy, Lisbon, Portugal CALL FOR PAPERS, PhD Research, Case Studies, Work in Progress/Posters, Round Table Proposals, non-academic Contributions and Product Demonstrations Mini Track: Cross-Cultural and Ethical Issues in Leadership Mini Track Chair: Dr. John Politis, Charles Darwin University, Australia.. It has become imperative for successful leaders to be aware of the cultural differences that influence business practices. Yet cultural values and practices could affect the ethical principles of leadership. Cultural values also could shape the expectations that followers have of their leader. In certain cultures the leader might be expected to be ethical and ineffective or be unethical and effective. It is therefore important to explore ethical leadership across different cultures. To increase knowledge in the field of cultural behaviours and identify the effectiveness of ethical leadership across different cultures scholarly and practical context papers are invited to this mini track aimed at debating, but not limited to, the following questions: • What is ethical leadership? How is it conceptualised and defined across cultures? • How does ethical leadership differ across cultures? • Can culture shape leader’s role in determining their organisation’s ethical climate? • Do ethical leaders demonstrate the same ethical awareness across cultures? • Do the leadership qualities of coaching, teamwork and empowering employees enhance appropriateness or inappropriateness of behaviour across cultures? • • • • • Can ethical accountability be managed and/or spread across cultures? What is the impact of the Big Five personality traits on ethical leadership across cultures? Is social obligation the heart of ethical leadership across different cultures? What are the similarities and differences between ethical leadership across cultures? How does the nature and structure of technology impact ethical leadership across cultures?
