Abstract

Scholars have argued that visionary leadership is an effective tool to motivate followers because it provides them with meaning and purpose. However, previous research tells us little about which leaders and under which circumstances leaders engage in visionary leadership. We draw on theories of human and social capital to argue that leader work centrality is an important antecedent of visionary leadership, and especially so for leaders with low organizational tenure. Moreover, we propose that visionary leadership then provides followers with meaningfulness and thereby decreases their turnover intentions. Our predictions were confirmed by data from a two-wave, lagged-design field study with 101 leader-follower dyads. Overall, our research identifies an important antecedent of visionary leadership, a specific situation in which this antecedent is particularly important, and provides empirical evidence for why visionary leadership can bind followers to an organization.
前瞻性领导的前因与影响:领导者工作中心性何时及如何与前瞻性领导和追随者离职意向相关
学者们认为,有远见的领导是激励追随者的有效工具,因为它为他们提供了意义和目标。然而,之前的研究几乎没有告诉我们哪些领导者以及在何种情况下领导者会从事有远见的领导。我们利用人力资本和社会资本理论来论证,领导者工作中心性是有远见的领导的重要前提,特别是对于组织任期较低的领导者。此外,我们提出,远见卓识的领导为追随者提供了意义,从而降低了他们的离职意愿。我们的预测得到了一项对101对领导-追随者二人组进行的两波滞后设计实地研究的数据的证实。总的来说,我们的研究确定了有远见的领导的一个重要的先决条件,在一个特定的情况下,这个先决条件是特别重要的,并提供了实证证据,为什么有远见的领导可以将追随者与组织联系起来。
