Abstract

Drawing on the bandwidth-fidelity principle (Cronbach & Glaser, 1957), this paper challenges the use of broad ImplicitLeadership Theories (ILTs) domains in predicting organizational outcomes (i.e., prototypic ILTs and anti-prototypicILTs) and provides preliminary arguments for examining ILTs narrow traits (e.g., sensitivity, intelligence) effects onLMX and consequently on work engagement. Specifically, using polynomial regression and response surfacemethodology, I examined the effects of followers’ ideal-actual ILTs congruence on LMX. Additionally, using the blockvariable approach, I tested the mediation effects of LMX on the relationship between ideal-actual ILTs congruence andwork engagement, on a sample of 68 employees. The results showed that followers’ fulfilled expectations aboutsensitivity and tyranny had linear effects on LMX, indicating the generalized benefits for leaders to be high on sensitivityand low on tyranny to enhance followers’ LMX. Intelligence, dedication, dynamism, and masculinity had non-lineareffects, revealing that fulfilling followers’ expectations are the best option for leaders to develop high-qualityrelationships with their followers. The mediation hypothesis received partly support, suggesting that additionalmechanisms can explain the relationship between followers’ ideal-actual ILTs congruence and work engagement.

实现对领导者的期望通过LMX预测敬业度

根据带宽保真度原理（Cronbach&Glaser，1957），本文对广泛的隐含领导理论（ILT）领域在预测组织结果（即原型ILT和反原型ILT）方面的使用提出了质疑，并为检验ILT的狭义特征（如敏感性、智力）对LMX以及工作参与的影响提供了初步论据。具体地，使用多项式回归和响应面方法，我检验了追随者的理想实际ILT同余对LMX的影响。此外，使用块变量方法，我在68名员工的样本中测试了LMX对理想实际ILT一致性和工作投入之间关系的中介作用。研究结果表明，追随者对敏感度和暴政的期望实现对LMX有线性影响，表明领导者对敏感度高、暴政低的总体收益可以提高追随者的LMX。智力、奉献精神、活力和男子气概具有非线性效应，这表明满足追随者的期望是领导者与追随者建立高质量关系的最佳选择。中介假说得到了部分支持，表明附加机制可以解释追随者理想的实际ILT一致性与工作投入之间的关系。
