The psychology of following: Conceptualizing and validating the Fundamental Follower Needs Inventory.
通过五项研究，在三个国家（美国、英国、中国）和多个领域（一般、政治、工作场所）验证了基本追随者需求量表（FFNI），该量表帮助研究者理解追随者需求如何随情境和文化变化，并影响领导认可与领导效能感知。
In Studies 1 and 2, we conducted content validation, tested reliability, and confirmed the factor structure of the FFNI across three domains (general, political, and workplace), three countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, and China), and multiple time points. Study 3 demonstrated FFNI's convergent and discriminant validity. Studies 4 and 5 explored the nomological network, examining its antecedents, consequences, and both predictive and incremental validity. The FFNI provides a novel tool for researchers to investigate how follower needs vary across contexts and cultures and how these needs shape leader endorsements and perceptions of leadership effectiveness. Practically, the FFNI offers leaders a framework to better understand and respond to the psychological needs of those they lead. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
