Abstract

Drawing upon theory and research on innovation, conservation of resources, and paradoxical leadership, we examine relationships between three stages of the innovative process (i.e., idea generation, idea dissemination, and idea implementation) and the role of paradoxical leadership as a facilitator of the transitions between these stages. In addition, we examine the motivational mechanisms (promotion and prevention focus) that can explain the relevance of paradoxical leadership in the innovative process. Results of a four-wave study show that paradoxical leadership, through employee promotion focus, strengthens the relationship between idea generation and idea dissemination, whereas paradoxical leadership, through employee prevention focus, strengthens the relationship between idea dissemination and idea implementation. Two experimental studies confirmed the importance of employee regulatory focus in the innovative process. Together, these findings highlight the importance of paradoxical leadership and employee regulatory focus in innovative processes. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

在思想旅程中作为推动者的矛盾领导:监管焦点的作用
借鉴创新、资源保护和悖论式领导的理论和研究,我们研究了创新过程的三个阶段(即创意产生、创意传播和创意实施)之间的关系,以及悖论式领导作为这些阶段之间过渡的推动者的作用。此外,我们研究了激励机制(促进和预防焦点),可以解释悖论领导在创新过程中的相关性。四波研究结果表明,矛盾型领导通过员工关注促进加强了想法产生和想法传播之间的关系,而矛盾型领导通过员工关注预防加强了想法传播和想法实施之间的关系。两项实验研究证实了员工监管焦点在创新过程中的重要性。总之,这些发现强调了矛盾的领导和员工监管焦点在创新过程中的重要性。讨论了理论和实践意义。
