Abstract

I review the empirical literature on leadership, focusing on papers published since 2010. To do so, I introduce a framework composed of two features: whether theories ( a) involve the study of leaders or leading (i.e., the person versus the process) and ( b) conceptualize leadership as a cause or a consequence (i.e., an independent versus dependent variable). This framework can enable future research to accumulate in a more programmatic fashion and help scholars determine where their own studies are located within the landscape of leadership research. I end the review by critically evaluating existing work, arguing that the most popular subcategory of leadership research—lumped conceptualizations of leading, in which scholars examine multiple leader behaviors within a single construct—has significant limitations and may need to be replaced by a greater focus on split conceptualizations of leading, wherein scholars isolate single leader behaviors. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, Volume 9 is January 2022.

领导科学：一个理论模型和研究议程

我回顾了有关领导力的实证文献，重点关注自2010年以来发表的论文。为此，我引入了一个由两个特征组成的框架：理论（a）是否涉及领导者或领导（即人与过程）的研究，以及（b）将领导概念化为原因或后果（即自变量与因变量）。该框架可以使未来的研究以更具程序性的方式积累，并帮助学者确定他们自己的研究在领导力研究领域的位置。在结束这篇综述时，我批判性地评估了现有的工作，认为领导研究中最受欢迎的子类别——领导的集中概念化，学者们在一个结构中研究多个领导行为——有很大的局限性，可能需要更多地关注领导的分裂概念化来取代，其中学者隔离了单个领导者的行为。《组织心理学与组织行为年度评论》第9卷预计最终在线出版日期为2022年1月。请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates用于修订估算。
