Abstract

This study paid attention on the influence of charismatic leadership on subordinates’ work engagement and selected organizational identification and identification with leader. Based on social identification theory, we tried to find the intermediary role of subordinates’ organizational identification and identification with leader in the process of charismatic leadership influencing subordinates’ work engagement. This study investigated 252 employees from several enterprises in China. Through SPSS statistical analysis, we found that organizational identification played a partly intermediary role in this relationship, but identification with leader played a full intermediary role. Besides, subordinates’ organizational identification and identification with leader as two dimensions of identification played intermediary roles in the above relationship at the same time.
