Spreading the Word: The Role of Surrogates in Charismatic Leadership Processes
结合社会网络视角与魅力型领导理论，研究第三方代理人如何通过推广、辩护和示范追随行为，向远端追随者传播对领导者的魅力感知。
By integrating a social networks perspective with charismatic leadership theory, we attempt to explain how charismatic perceptions of leaders spread among distant followers through third-party individuals (surrogates). We propose a mediated model considering how individuals engage in surrogate behavior (promoting the leader, defending the leader, and modeling followership) that increases charismatic perceptions among distant followers. We consider the behaviors associated with this role, as well as antecedents and moderators that may explain motivation to engage in the role and effectiveness of the role in influencing followers.
