Negative Leadership

This article introduces the concept of adverse leadership. Adverse leadership arises when followers (1) perceive their leader to violate leadership prototypes or to concur with antiprototypes, and (2) attribute this violation to internal stable conditions within the leader (i.e., actor-observer bias), even though (3) the leader had no intention to cause harm. Adverse leadership goes above and beyond earlier leadership concepts because it focuses on (a) the role of followers’ implicit leadership theories and attributions in negative leadership, and on (b) leader behavior that is not intended to be harmful by the leader; it is conceptualized on (c) multiple levels of analysis, and posited to have (d) differential negative and positive effects on outcomes in organizations. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Leadership in organizations: final remarks Leadership in organizations: final remarks Claartje Vinkenburg, Paul L. Koopman & Deanne N. Den Hartog, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, August 2005, pp. 228-233 In the last two volumes of the journal Gedrag & Organisatie a series of seven articles on 'Leadership in organizations' has been published, presenting recent and ongoing research in the Netherlands. The contributions varied in terms of content and research methods applied. The focus of attention was on transformational or charismatic leadership and on participative leadership. In addition, other issues seem to emerge such as implicit leadership theories, perceptions of leadership, and the role of emotion in leadership. The guest editors plead for more diversity in research methods in future research in this field.

Job Context

Despite a flourishing literature demonstrating the consequences of implicit leadership theories (ILTs) for workplace phenomena, relatively little is known about the antecedents of ILTs, particularly those that are malleable or can be changed to shape ILTs. In two studies of dual-job holders, which allows for the modeling of between- and within-person predictors, I examined the extent to which workers’ ILTs were stable versus dynamic across work contexts. In line with connectionist perspectives, trait identities, a personal factor, promoted stability in ILTs across situations in both studies, whereas there was some limited evidence that organizational culture, a situational factor, only predicted ILTs within a given job context. Furthermore, the relationship between independent identity and ILTs differed when examining workers’ typical versus ideal leadership conceptualizations. Implications for future research on ILTs are also discussed.

Leader Preference

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that shape followers’ initial reactions to leaders. Based on the literature on self-concept and leader categorization theory, it was hypothesized that followers’ self-concepts (specifically their self-esteem and self-construal) would predict their conceptualization of an ideal leader (i.e., their implicit leadership theory, ILT), which would then predict followers’ preferences for specific leadership styles. Using a sample of 206 university students, results indicated that the effects of independent self-construal on charismatic leader preference were partially mediated by the dedication ILT dimension, and the effects of interdependent self-construal were fully mediated by the sensitivity ILT dimension. Additional findings and directions for future research are discussed.

Succession In Family Business

This paper reviews the research to date on succession in the field of family business management. Five streams of research are highlighted: (1) succession as a process, (2) the role of the founder, (3) the perspective of the next generation, (4) multiple levels of analysis, and (5) characteristics of effective successions. Gaps in the literature and future research directions are also presented.

Highlighted are the instructional leaders' styles of transformational, influential, distributive with a focus on servant leadership that models the role that works within classrooms, especially those with in-risk youth. Teachers can be change agents in this climate of social justice and inclusion.
