Past research outlines two opposing positions. On one hand, individuals who express confidence signal competence and, as a result, attain greater influence in social groups. On the other hand, research on leader humility, authenticity, and self-disclosure suggests that leaders who express vulnerability, not conviction, achieve greater social influence. In this work, we attempt to reconcile these competing positions by considering two additional hypotheses. First, expressing uncertainty may be beneficial in moderate doses, but detrimental in especially small or large doses. Second, followers’ intolerance of uncertainty (i.e., “need for closure”) may be a critical moderator of the relationship between leader-expressed uncertainty and social influence. We conducted five experimental studies to determine whether the link between expressed uncertainty and leader influence may be negative, positive, curvilinear (i.e., inverse U-shaped), and/or moderated by follower’s tolerance of uncertainty. We find overwhelming evidence that the link between expressed uncertainty and leader influence is negative. Leaders who express uncertainty are perceived as less effective, less warm, and less competent. Beyond these subjective evaluations, leader-expressed uncertainty has behavioral consequences, reducing advice-taking, leader selection, and reward allocation. We find no evidence of positive, curvilinear, or interaction effects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48434,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Quarterly","volume":"36 5","pages":"Article 101880"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143909815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking a state capitalism perspective, we suggest that the government uses political promotions as a mechanism to reallocate human capital resources for its economic and political objectives. This approach entails potential trade-offs between macro-level gains and micro-level losses, as valuable and rare human capital is diverted from SOE management to political posts. Based on 1,077 CEO-year observations of 226 listed Chinese SOEs, we find that both financial and political performance have a positive effect on the political promotions of CEOs. However, when the SOE is more in need of the CEO’s managerial skills—specifically, when the SOE’s industry has a private-firm leader or the SOE holds higher prominence within its enterprise group—the positive relationship between financial performance and political promotion is weakened. In comparison, the positive relationship between political performance and political promotion is weakened to a lesser extent. Additional analysis reveals that SOEs whose former CEOs received political promotions tend to experience a decline in performance in the years following the promotions, compared to pre-promotion years, as well as to firms whose former CEOs have been demoted.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48434,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Quarterly","volume":"36 5","pages":"Article 101908"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144713913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, the study problematizes the current ethical leadership literature by drawing on the theory of institutional logics. The theory of institutional logics provides a macro- and micro-level perspective, where the interplay of multiple competing institutions shapes ethical leadership. The analysis aims to clarify and intensify the problems of ethical decision-making in the Global South by offering a set of counterpoints that extend on the mainstream literature.

We extend these findings by presenting evidence that average speaking time also causes increases in perceived rates of speaking time and perceived speaking time is associated with leader emergence. We also find that one’s gender has limited effects on leader emergence and perceived speaking time after accounting for their average level of speaking time. Interestingly, the consistency in one’s speaking time over the course of a group’s interactions is only weakly affected by role assignment, which limits our ability to test the causal effects of dynamic speech.

From a lifespan perspective, we propose that stereotypes become more salient with observer age, amplifying the perceived incongruity between young adults and leader roles. We test these hypotheses in an experimental study with two independent samples: Sample 1 (<em>N</em> = 201) assessed attributes for typical and ideal leaders, while Sample 2 (<em>N</em> = 711) evaluated young, middle-aged, and older adults on the same attributes.
