“…When considering the issue of leadership in public relations in China, it is important to remember that it has been suggested that Western leadership theories may not be as effective when directly transposed to Chinese people (Davidson, 2020;Men, 2021). "It has been demonstrated in the Chinese cultural context that the Chinese still attach key importance to the moral character of their leaders and their behavior" (Chen et al, 2020).…”

“…In particular, this research is conducted about examining ways leadership improves organizational effectiveness and communications. Most work has focused on leadership issues in the United States context, attributing little attention to other contexts currently leading the public relations industry (Chen et al, 2020;Davidson, 2020).

This study aimed to address the lack of empirical research in public relations management by investigating the perspectives of professional leaders in public relations in two emerging markets, namely China and Thailand. To gather information, a pragmatic mixed-method approach, which included a survey and interviews, was employed. The data was then processed using SPSS using a sample size of 234. The study developed a framework based on the Meng and Berger Model on PR leaders. It explores how leadership in public relations is shaped by the sociopolitical context of the nation by examining and comparing the cases of China and Thailand. The study draws on the interpretation of professional leadership in public communication by PR leaders. The participants from both countries indicated that there were some similarities and differences between the Chinese and Thai markets concerning public relation leadership. With the most important issue raised in both countries, speed and volume of information appeared to be the most important. In addressing the issues, in-service training to gain new skills and taking advantage of the internet to acquire information appeared as the most important tools. Inspiring and motivating, and ability to manage teams appeared as important leadership abilities considered of value in both countries. The study identified three key dimensions that were present in both countries, namely team collaboration, communication knowledge management, and organizational culture and structure.
