Abstract
This study explores the similarities and differences among Argentinean and Colombian employees regarding their perceptions of effective and ineffective managerial and leadership behavior by conducting a qualitative multiple cross-case and cross nation comparative analysis of findings from two previous emic replication studies. The findings of this study suggest more similarities than differences in the perceptions of Argentinean and Colombian workers about effective/ineffective managerial and leadership behaviors and highlight important nuances. Although there are cultural differences among Argentineans and Colombians, the findings of this study suggest that culture may not play a substantial role in the perception of managerial behavioral effectiveness. These findings are relevant to human resource professionals training executives for assignments in Argentina and Colombia. Designing training programs that help managers understand what are perceived as effective/ineffective managerial behaviors by Argentineans and Colombians can improve the effectiveness of Argentinean managers working in Colombia and Colombian managers working in Argentina.
