The Role of Followers in the Charismatic Leadership Process: Relationships and Their Consequences
理论分析追随者在魅力型领导过程中的角色,区分个性化与社会化两种魅力关系,提出追随者自我概念如何影响其与领导者的关系类型,并阐述各阶段追随者的作用。
We present a theoretical analysis of the follower's role in the charismatic leadership process. Specifically, we distinguish between two types of charismatic relationships—personalized and socialized—and present general propositions about how followers' self-concepts may determine the type of charismatic relationship they form with the leader. We then develop more specific propositions about the follower's role in various stages of the charismatic relationship process, and we conclude by outlining the implications of the propositions and suggesting further opportunities for theoretical extension.
