Abstract:
Automotive original equipment manufacturers are undergoing a new era of
distruption where recent shifts in OEM strategies challenge long-standing norms
and beliefs. As a result, leaders must be equipped to navigate these
uncertainties to articulate a new vision for the future. Despite the extensive body
of literature, there is still a limited understanding on intellectual stimulation’s (as
a dimension of transformational leadership) influence on extra-role behaviour,
specifically in a transforming automotive industry setting. Therefore, this
qualitative study aims to provide an integrated model that articulates the
mechanisms through which intellectual stimulation influences extra-role
behaviour in the context of disruptive change in the automotive OEM industry.
