Disentangling the Leadership Theory Jungle: A Reconciliation of Bright and Dark Side Leadership Theories
梳理了光明与黑暗面领导力理论的冲突,提出基于领导者特质和情境完整性的概念模型,帮助理解两类领导力及其有效性,对理论和实践有启示。
Abstract The literature on the relationship between leader behaviours and effectiveness is a jungle of complementary yet often conflicting leadership theories that perplexes researchers and practitioners alike, as indicated by various theories of bright and dark side leadership (i.e., leader behaviours reflecting widely considered positive and negative leadership qualities, respectively). We disentangle this jungle by offering a conceptual model that improves our understanding of bright and dark side leadership and their respective effectiveness, based on the concepts of leader character and context integrity. Our theory helps to reconcile the various bright and dark side leadership theories at a general level and suggests critical implications for leadership theory and practice.
