Abstract

Charismatic leadership is a key factor that affects organizational effectiveness, team effectiveness, and the behavior of subordinates. How to effectively lead an organization and motivate members through charismatic leadership is an important issue for executives and managers. Given that charismatic leadership encompasses a variety of characteristics and complex entanglements, and that executives have limited time and energy, the most important and pressing issue is how to accurately identify the determinants of charismatic leadership and provide executives with references for effective charismatic leadership. To this end, this study began with a literature review of 22 scholars and experts who selected three key dimensions and 18 criteria for constructing charismatic leadership. A further 20 experts were invited to assess the correlations between the dimensions and the criteria, and a Fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to analyze the causal relationships between the dimensions and the criteria to identify the charismatic leadership determinants. The results of the study revealed that in terms of the dimensions, model shaping was the determining dimension for charismatic leadership, which influenced the other two dimensions; in terms of the criteria, role models and behavioral benchmarks, leadership behaviors of charisma, and emotionally intelligent were the determining criteria for charismatic leadership. Therefore, business executives and organizational leaders must be the first to set a good paradigm for their subordinates, be able to set an example and be selfless, be willing to take risks, be self-sacrificing, think creatively and be sympathetic to the behavior of their subordinates, and also focus on their self-image management, be willing to break out of the status quo and have good emotional management skills to build a sense of belonging in the organizational team. They should also be willing to break through problems and have good emotional management skills to build a sense of belonging to the organization.
