Abstract

Since the first article about charismatic leadership by Weber was issued in 1946, numerous pieces of research have been published discussing several aspects of charismatic leadership. One of these aspects is the role of the charismatic leader during crisis and whether it is being impacted by crises or emerged during crises. Several articles have been published to investigate the role of charismatic leadership during crises along with how individuals perceived charismatic leadership during crises. Most of these articles utilized case studies to investigate the former mentioned relationship. However, each of these studies investigated the relationship between crises and charismatic leadership in a particular surrounding environment including different parameters such as the nature of the organization, region, industry, and nature of crisis. This study will compare three case studies to have a comprehensive understanding of how charismatic leaders handle crisis in different environments and what factors have the greatest impact on employees' perception.
