This study expanded on the current theoretical understanding of motivation to lead (MTL) by utilizing the framework of interactional psychology to test a situational model of MTL that included communication apprehension as a measurement of an individual's personality. This study examined the direct effects of communication apprehension, goal and process clarity, and perceived organizational support on all three dimensions of MTL within a sample of retail employees (N = 170) from building supply stores on the east coast. The moderating effects of perceived organizational support and goal process clarity in the relationship between communication apprehension and MTL were also investigated. Regression analyses indicated a strong, negative relationship between communication apprehension (CA) and affective--identity (AIMTL), social--normative (SNMTL), and noncalculative (NCMTL) MTL. Results of regression analyses of communication apprehension as a predictor of the three dimensions of MTL were consistent with the theoretical perspective of Clemmons and Fields (2011) who reported that values, past leadership experience, and extraversion were significant predictors of MTL, while other personality dimensions and self-efficacy were not predictors of all dimensions of MTL. Results of data analyses indicated that due to its widespread and pervasive effects, CA offers a more concrete and parsimonious measure of personality in predicting an individual's MTL and should be added as a key individual difference variable in the MTL model. Weak support was found for the situational variables predicting an individual's MTL. Other than the positive significant relationship between perceived organizational support and noncalculative MTL, the results of this study support the assertions by Chan and Drasgow (2001) who suggested that individual difference variables are the primary predictors of an individual's MTL. Finally, although goal process clarity (GPC) was found to moderate the relationship between CA and NCMTL, moderation was not supported for other variables or dimensions of MTL. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are presented and suggestions for future research are discussed.
