Abstract

PurposeParadoxical leadership (PL) is an emerging perspective to understand how leaders help followers deal with paradoxical demands. Recently, the positive relationship between PL and follower performance was established. This paper builds on and extends this research by interpreting PL as sensegiving and developing theory about mediation in the relationship between PL and adaptive and proactive performance.Design/methodology/approachThe paper develops a new measure for PL as sensegiving and provides a test of the mediation model with data from two different sources and two measurement times in a German company.FindingsMultilevel mediation analysis (N = 154) supports the mediation model.Originality/valueThe paper presents sensegiving about paradox as a core element of PL, which informs the choice of change-readiness as mediator. This study also develops and validates a scale to measure PL in future research.

悖论式领导:激发变革准备和变革导向绩效

目的:矛盾领导(PL)是一个新兴的视角来理解领导者如何帮助下属处理矛盾的需求。最近，PL与追随者绩效之间的正相关关系被确立。本文在此研究的基础上进行了扩展，将学习绩效解释为感知赋予，并发展了学习绩效与适应性和主动性绩效之间关系的中介理论。设计/方法/方法本文开发了一种新的PL感知度量方法，并在一家德国公司使用来自两个不同来源和两次测量时间的数据对中介模型进行了测试。发现多层次中介分析(N = 154)支持中介模型。原创性/价值本文将悖论的意义赋予作为PL的核心元素，它为选择变革准备作为中介提供了信息。本研究还开发并验证了未来研究中衡量PL的量表。
