On the same page: Exploring the link between cross-level leadership fit and innovation
研究了公司层与部门层领导风格匹配（变革型或交易型）对部门层创新的影响，发现风格一致时探索或利用式创新更强，且高绩效工作系统会强化这一效应。
Combining theoretical insights from both the leadership and innovation literature, we examine the role of cross-level leadership fit or similarity in leadership styles at the firm and unit levels and its relationship with innovation outcomes at the unit level. Hypotheses are formed indicating that transformational leaders enable exploration and transactional leaders facilitate exploitation. Results from a multifirm, multiunit, multisource study indicate that exploration is enhanced when transformational leaders are present at both the firm and unit levels, whereas exploitation is enhanced when transactional leaders are present at both the firm and unit levels. Results suggest that leadership similarity is an important multilevel antecedent to unit-level outcomes. Further, high-performance work systems serve as situational enhancers that strengthen the effects of cross-level leadership fit on unit-level innovation outcomes.
