Qualitative Research and the Study of Leadership
主张将定性研究方法引入领导力研究，以纳入更多情境变量，这些变量根植于人们经验，更易被实践者理解。基于建筑业三个项目的深度访谈研究，探讨领导者形成领导风格时考虑的因素。
This article argues that the introduction of qualitative research methods into the study of leadership may improve this area of research by facilitating the introduction of a wider range of contextual variables into the investigation of leadership styles. It is also contended that such variables have the advantage of being grounded in people's experiences and are therefore more accesible to practitioners. These points are developed from the authors' research into the construction industry, in which the factors taken into account by leaders informing their leadership styles were investigated through intensive interviewing during three construction projects.
