[online]. 2015, vol.11, n.2, pp.303-317. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2015.0002.10.

The aim of this study was to analyze, by using the MLQ5X, the leadership profiles of 167 managers from four Latin American countries (Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia), to see if there are different patterns of leadership despite cultural similarities. Likewise, these profiles were compared with results obtained by other authors from different regions. Finally, these results were compared with another Colombian sample. Significant differences in leadership were found, both in culturally different countries and in Latin American countries, despite their cultural similarities. Finally, the sample of managers in this study differs significantly from the other Colombian sample, in some variables of the MLQ. These findings are discussed.

Palabras clave : transformational/transactional leadership; Hosftede cultural dimensions; full range leadership model.
