Leadership as Social Integrative Action. A Study of a Computer Consultancy Company
提出领导力可视为社会整合行动，结合制度与人际导向，通过对一家计算机咨询公司的案例研究，论证领导力从属于文化背景，并倡导减少对微观指挥型领导的关注。
In this paper it is suggested that leadership, at least in some types of organiza tions, can be conceptualized as social integrative action. Such action is seen as a synthesis of institutional and human relations-oriented leadership. A case study of a computer consultancy company, a professional service adhocracy, supports this argument. This paper also argues for viewing leadership as an expression of those values, virtues, norms and symbolic guidelines for understanding that are usually referred to as corporate culture or ideology. Leadership is consequently seen as subordinated to the cultural context. A less 'commander'- and micro-oriented view on managerial work (the leader as a boss, understood through focus on him/ her and the group) than those common in the literature is thus suggested.
