摘要

建立关系是领导力最重要的方面之一;然而，这可能会带来道德上的挑战。虽然领导者对员工的特殊待遇，即领导者偏爱，经常发生，但它通常被认为是消极的，因为公平规范要求领导者平等对待下属。在这个概念研究中，我们探讨了基于不同伦理原则的不同观点对领导偏袒的看法。我们提出了一种替代传统观点的观点，并认为当基于同理心的偏爱被应用时，领导者的偏爱不一定会导致负面结果。在这种情况下，我们建议通过平衡特殊主义和普遍主义来借鉴功利主义方法的伦理原则，这也有助于建立组织社会资本。我们通过发展一个早期的概念，一个综合的伦理方法的领导偏爱贡献领导理论。

An integrative ethical approach to leader favoritism

Relationship building is one of the most important aspects of leadership; however, it can pose ethical challenges. Though particularistic treatment of employees by leaders, i.e. leader favoritism, commonly occurs, it is conventionally regarded negatively as fairness norms require leaders to treat followers equally. In this conceptual study, we explore different views on leader favoritism based on different ethical principles. We develop an alternative to the conventional view and suggest that leader favoritism may not necessarily lead to negative outcomes when empathy-based favoritism is applied. In this vein, we recommend drawing on the ethical principles of a utilitarian approach by balancing particularism and universalism, which is also helpful to build organizational social capital. We contribute to leadership theory by developing an early concept of an integrative ethical approach to leader favoritism.
