Résumé
Cet article propose un test empirique du modèle d’attribution du leadership basé sur la complexité attributionnelle CA des managers et de l’exactitude de leurs attributions sur les subordonnés. À partir d’un échantillon de cadres et de subordonnés au Sénégal, les hypothèses suivantes sont formulées : l’AC des managers, les stratégies correctives des managers et la perception des subordonnées sont liées à l’exactitude des attributions, aux attributions isomorphes et aux variables de satisfaction des subordonnés. Notre étude contribue à la littérature sur le leadership interculturel. Les résultats sont discutés ainsi que les limites et orientations futures.

Abstract
This article offers an empirical test of the leadership attribution model based on the attributional complexity (AC) of managers and the accuracy of their attributions on subordinates. From a sample of executives and subordinates in Senegal, the following hypotheses are formulated: the AC of managers, the corrective strategies of managers and the perception of subordinates are linked to the accuracy of attributions, isomorphic attributions and subordinate satisfaction variables. Our study contributes to the literature on intercultural leadership. The results are discussed as well as the limits and future directions.

Resumen
Este artículo propone una prueba empírica del modelo de atribución del liderazgo basado en la complejidad atributiva CA de los gerentes y de la exactitud de sus atribuciones sobre los subordinados. A partir de una muestra de cuadros y subordinados en el Senegal, se formulan las hipótesis siguientes: la CA de los directivos, las estrategias correctivas de los directivos y la percepción de los subordinados están vinculadas a la exactitud de las atribuciones y a las atribuciones isomorfas y por las variables de satisfacción de los subordinados. Nuestro estudio contribuye a la literatura sobre liderazgo intercultural. Los resultados son discutidos, así como las limitaciones y orientaciones futuras.
