Abstract

Overlooking the explanatory consequences of human nature assumptions (models of people) may compromise the internal coherence of leadership theories that use two or more models of people. However, judging the internal coherence of theories based on their human nature assumptions can be challenging, partly due to the complexity of human nature. I attempt to reduce the complexity by proposing human nature as heuristics that provide explanatory leverage to theoretical narratives. The other part of the challenge lies in the near absence of appropriate conceptual tools for straightforward comparisons of human nature assumptions. To tackle this challenge, I propose a typology of human nature heuristics and illustrate its usefulness in judging the internal coherence of multiple leadership theories. The human nature heuristics typology can also provide a conceptual framework for integrating leadership and human resource management literature.

在理论叙述中寻找人性的连贯性:一种启发式方法和领导力的例证

忽视人性假设(人的模型)的解释后果可能会损害使用两种或更多的人的模型的领导理论的内部一致性。然而，基于人性假设来判断理论的内在一致性是具有挑战性的，部分原因是人性的复杂性。我试图通过提出人性为理论叙述提供解释性杠杆的启发式来降低复杂性。挑战的另一部分在于几乎没有适当的概念工具来直接比较人性假设。为了应对这一挑战，我提出了一种人性启发的类型，并说明了它在判断多种领导理论的内部一致性方面的有用性。人性启发式类型学也可以为整合领导力和人力资源管理文献提供一个概念框架。

期刊介绍： The Human Resource Management Review (HRMR) is a quarterly academic journal dedicated to publishing scholarly conceptual and theoretical articles in the field of human resource management and related disciplines such as industrial/organizational psychology, human capital, labor relations, and organizational behavior. HRMR encourages manuscripts that address micro-, macro-, or multi-level phenomena concerning the function and processes of human resource management. The journal publishes articles that offer fresh insights to inspire future theory development and empirical research. Critical evaluations of existing concepts, theories, models, and frameworks are also encouraged, as well as quantitative meta-analytical reviews that contribute to conceptual and theoretical understanding. Subject areas appropriate for HRMR include (but are not limited to) Strategic Human Resource Management, International Human Resource Management, the nature and role of the human resource function in organizations, any specific Human Resource function or activity (e.g., Job Analysis, Job Design, Workforce Planning, Recruitment, Selection and Placement, Performance and Talent Management, Reward Systems, Training, Development, Careers, Safety and Health, Diversity, Fairness, Discrimination, Employment Law, Employee Relations, Labor Relations, Workforce Metrics, HR Analytics, HRM and Technology, Social issues and HRM, Separation and Retention), topics that influence or are influenced by human resource management activities (e.g., Climate, Culture, Change, Leadership and Power, Groups and Teams, Employee Attitudes and Behavior, Individual, team, and/or Organizational Performance), and HRM Research Methods.
