Who will Lead and Who will Follow? a Social Process of Leadership Identity Construction in Organizations
提出领导身份是在社会互动中通过个体主张和授予领导者与追随者身份而共同建构的,并阐述了这一过程的动态性、前因及研究议程。
We propose that a leadership identity is coconstructed in organizations when individuals claim and grant leader and follower identities in their social interactions. Through this claiming-granting process, individuals internalize an identity as leader or follower, and those identities become relationally recognized through reciprocal role adoption and collectively endorsed within the organizational context. We specify the dynamic nature of this process, antecedents to claiming and granting, and an agenda for research on leadership identity and development.
