Ethical approaches to leadership in organizational contexts: An attachment theory perspective
基于依恋理论，探讨伦理领导力在组织中的起源、出现及影响，提出理论命题，对组织管理和人力资源实践有参考价值。
Ethical approaches to leadership in organizational contexts have been linked to a wide range of positive outcomes for both organizations and their followers. The primary thesis of this paper is that insights gleaned from attachment theory shed light on the evolutionary and developmental origins, emergence and occurrence of ethical approaches to leadership in organizational contexts. Based on an extensive literature review, we identify important conceptual advances that provide insights into how attachment-based relational models contribute to the emergence and development of antecedents and core-themes of ethical approaches to leadership. Furthermore, we outline theoretical connections, present our rationale for the suggested relationships, and develop meaningful propositions useful for future empirical investigations. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. This work allows us to consider how organizations and human resource management programs can proactively address and support the needs of the new “attachment -insecure” era of organizational workers in a way that positively affects organizational outcomes.
