Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between
social intelligence and change leadership behaviors. Seventy-six managers of five
listed firms in Thailand were gathered for data collection through the modified
version of TromsØ social intelligence scale and a newly developed scale of change
leadership. Using stepwise regression analysis, results of this study revealed that
social information processing explained 22% of variance (R2 = .222, F (1, 76) =
21.106, p < .001), which demonstrated a significantly positive relationship between
social information processing and change leadership (β = .471, p <.001). This can be
concluded that the more managers had social information processing characteristic,
the more likely they would demonstrate their change leadership behaviors.
Discussion, limitations, and recommendations for further studies were also
discussed.
