A Cross-Cultural Study of Leadership Attitudes in Three Baltic Sea Region Countries

This study compares leadership attitudes in Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland, exploring aspects like supervision, authority views, and decision-making. It examines the influence of cultural values on leadership attitudes and highlights the importance of cultural dimensions for understanding attitudinal differences. The results suggest that culture significantly impacts leadership perceptions even in seemingly similar countries, emphasizing the relevance of Hofstede's cultural dimensions in predicting attitudinal variations.
