Abstract: Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic provided the natural experimental environment to test the previously theorized leadership phenomenon. We argue that perceived corruption in a country impacts the effectiveness of the anticipatory and containment strategy to produce a positive national outcome. Moreover, when navigating uncertainty, shared or participative leadership property of the country’s culture is the mediating variable that differentiates one nation’s pandemic situation from another. We proposed and analyzed a structural equation model using secondary data to determine whether the current indices (Corruption Perception Index [CPI], Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, global participative leadership score of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness [GLOBE] study) will be able to predict the quarantine behavior (Google’s Community Mobility Report) in each country which eventually will impact the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) situation in a country at the time when all the world was still grappling to understand the complexity of the pandemic. SmartPLS Version 4.0.8 was used to analyze the model. The results and future research recommendations are presented.
