The evolution of leadership: Past insights, present trends, and future directions
回顾了领导力研究在《商业研究杂志》创刊五十一前后的主导方法,讨论了道德领导力及其批评,分析了当前趋势如领导力的阴暗面和追随者研究,并提出了未来研究方向。
We first review leadership research that has been dominant before and after the Journal of Business Research was established fifty-one years ago, along with a discussion of those approaches that have continued to attract research attention. Next, we discuss moral approaches to leadership, including authentic, ethical, and servant leadership. We address criticism of these and other approaches, especially concerns about the way leadership styles are measured. Furthermore, we provide coverage of current trends in leadership research, such as studying the dark side of seeming positive leadership approaches, examinations of the importance of followership in the study of leadership, as well as research that explores the effects of leadership from a leader-centric perspective. Finally, we offer directions for future leadership research, such as integrating leader power and authority with leadership approaches and developing ways of addressing criticism that has been leveled against leadership research.
