ItemThe transformational leaders' dimensions and newcomers' organizational socialization process(Assumption University, 2006) Krisda Tanchaisak ; Assumption University. Martin de Tours School of Management and EconomicsNewcomers' organization assimilation or socialization is a transition process whereby an outsider becomes an insider of an organization. This process involves a lot of change. Four dimensions of transformational leader were suggested to facilitate this change process. The Big Five Model of personality provides insights of the differences on the newcomers part. The relationship between the four dimensions of transformational leaders and five newcomers 'personality traits were delineated. Examination of previous literature revealed that transformational leaders gain trust and respect via the first two dimensions, namely charisma and inspiration. Individualized attention should be given high priority for those with neuroticism and extraversion traits. Intellectual stimulation should be given high priority for those with openness to new experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness traits.
