Abstract

Studies on interim leadership have proliferated across multiple disciplines over the past forty-five years since the first studies on non-traditional careers emerged in the late 1970s. Interim leadership tenures typically range from weeks to more than a year during critical change-induced contexts in organizations (e.g., unexpected leadership departures). Interim leadership brings benefits to both interim executives (e.g., career advancement, work-life flexibility) and organizations (e.g., the capacity to quickly adapt). Undertaking a comprehensive review of 61 articles on interim leadership published in top journals in multiple domains over almost five decades, we highlight terminologies adopted, moderating factors, theoretical perspectives and models pertinent to interim leadership explored to date. Importantly, our review identifies four emerging themes (i.e., Selection, Socialization, Success, and Succession) which represent stages of the interim leadership process, leading to the development of the resultant “4S” process framework. We subsequently explore factors which influence each of these stages that interim leaders move through from entering to exiting interim executive assignments. Following this, the review proposes a future research agenda for theoretical, empirical, and methodological advancement of interim leadership scholarship, particularly in relation to the less researched areas of socialization and success and notes practical implications to inform better practice of interim leadership for individuals and organizations.

临时领导:系统文献综述和未来研究议程
自 20 世纪 70 年代末首次出现关于非传统职业的研究以来,关于临时领导的研究在过去的 45 年中在多个学科中激增。在组织变革引发的关键时期(如领导层意外离职),临时领导的任期通常从数周到一年以上不等。临时领导对临时管理人员(如职业发展、工作生活灵活性)和组织(如快速适应能力)都有好处。我们全面回顾了近五十年来在多个领域的顶级期刊上发表的 61 篇关于临时领导力的文章,重点介绍了迄今为止所采用的术语、调节因素、理论视角以及与临时领导力相关的模型。重要的是,我们的综述确定了四个新出现的主题(即:选拔、社会化、成功和继任),它们代表了临时领导过程的各个阶段,并由此制定了 "4S "过程框架。随后,我们探讨了影响临时领导者从进入到结束临时行政任务的各个阶段的因素。随后,本综述提出了未来的研究议程,以在理论、经验和方法上推进临时领导力的学术研究,特别是在社会化和成功这两个研究较少的领域,并指出了对个人和组织更好地实践临时领导力的实际意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
