Abstract: This research examines leadership effectiveness according to the level of organizational uncertainty, based on a comparative study of U.S. federal government and Korean central government organizations. Using archival and survey data from U.S. federal agencies and Korean central agencies, this comparative research found that the impact of leadership behavior on employees’ attitude to their work is reduced when public agencies in both countries face high levels of some types of organizational uncertainty. In situations of a high level of uncertainty, there are similarities and differences in effective leadership behavior between Korean public agencies and U.S federal agencies.
