Exploring Differences and Similarities in Predictors and Use of Upward Influence Strategies in Two Countries

Building on past research the current study compares the use of upward influence (UI) strategies within and between two countries (the United States and Colombia). Continuing with the shift to understand the predictors of UI strategy selection, this study explores perceptions of leader-member exchange (LMX) and power distance (PD) as predictors of UI strategy use in the United States and Colombia. Results suggest that participants from the United States and Colombia do not differ in their use of UI strategies, and predictors of UI strategy use work differently based on the type of strategy with no differences between countries. Implications of these results are discussed.
