Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of research has examined emergent leadership within groups. Emergent leadership is defined as a process during which some individuals, over time and through social interaction, are recognized and accepted as leaders by the group. Interestingly, although there is much theorizing about how leadership emerges and about the individual characteristics facilitating the emergence of leaders, there is still very little about knowledge about this particular dynamic social process, and this is especially true if we expand our view of leadership beyond the leader-follower dyad. To refine our understanding of leadership emergence, I built my investigations on previous research on Distributed Leadership which recommends the use of social network analysis to study how leadership may be shared among several individuals. By envisioning leadership as a network of perceptions, where nodes and ties represent actors and leadership nominations respectively, a complex and multi-level representation of leadership is gathered. While social network analysis has been successfully applied to study distributed leadership using a cross-sectional approach, leadership emergence occurs over time and an analysis of this phenomenon would benefit from the use of a longitudinal perspective. I therefore collected leadership networks over several periods of time and used SIENA, a novel multilevel statistical procedure for longitudinal analysis of social networks, to examine, through three manuscripts, (i) How emergent leaders are the result of group processes?, (ii) Do emergent leaders perceive themselves as leaders? and (iii) Are emergent leaders emotionally intelligence?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A social network approach was used to investigate the structural features of various emergent leadership systems in a large financial organization (n = 137), including transactional and transformational-style leadership relations. Results indicate that macro-level patterns of leadership nominations may be explained by a small number of underlying structural features, some of which vary across types of leadership networks. Leadership nominations were shown to be less hierarchical, more reciprocal, and more triadic than traditionally thought. On top of effects associated with individual differences in sex, supervisor status, tenure, and physical location, leadership networks displayed tendencies towards reciprocity and loose core-periphery structures based on transitive hierarchies. There was also some evidence that transformational leadership networks tended to be slightly less centralized and more transitive than transactional leadership networks. Implications for bridging leadership theory across levels of analysis are discussed.
Download or read book How Leader Role Identity Influences the Process of Leader Emergence written by Navio Kwok and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary literature on leadership emphasizes the importance of having a leader identity in building leadership skills and functioning effectively as leaders. We build on this approach by examining and unpacking the role of leader identity in leadership emergence. Taking the perspective that leadership is a dynamic social process between group members, we propose a social network-based process model whereby leader role identity predicts network centrality, which leads to leader emergence. We test our model using a sample of 88 cadets participating in a training course on leadership development. In support of our model, cadets who possess a stronger leader identity were more likely to emerge as leaders, as rated by peers and course trainers, and these relationships were mediated by two indicators of network centrality reflecting one's ability to broker information (i.e., betweenness centrality) and one's popularity (i.e., indegree centrality) within one's group. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Book excerpt: This book discusses a core question in many fields of the social sciences, namely how to create, share and adopt new knowledge. It creates an original space for conversation between two lines of research that have developed largely in parallel for a long time: social network theory and the geography of knowledge. This book considers that relational thinking has become increasingly important for scholars to capture societal outcomes by studying social relations and networks, whereas the role of place, space and spatial scales has been somewhat neglected outside an emergent geography of knowledge. The individual contributions help integrate network arguments of connectivity, geographical arguments of contiguity and contextuality into a more comprehensive understanding of the ways in which people and organizations are constrained by and make use of space and networks for learning and innovation. Experts in the fields of geography, sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management and organizational studies develop conceptual models and propose empirical research that illustrates the ways in which networks and geography play together in processes of innovation, learning, leadership, and power.

Download or read book Leadership and Power written by Daan Van Knippenberg and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-02-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership and associated power issues lie at the core of group life in a variety of contexts. Even the most informal of groups typically have some form of leadership in their organization, and the understanding of leadership and power from a psychological standpoint can inform a greater understanding of group dynamics both inside and outside of the workplace. Leadership and Power is a synthesis of contributions from eminent social psychologists and organizational scientists that addresses these issues from a fresh perspective. In recent years, these themes have been re-examined through the lens of social categorization approaches that highlight people′s social identity and social roles as group members, as well as the processes that influence perceptions of and expectations about people and groups. The book is wide-ranging; chapters cover such diverse issues as: interpersonal versus group-oriented styles of leadership; leadership of totalist groups; political leadership; and gender and leadership. It represents a state-of-the-art overview of this burgeoning field that will be important to a host of disciplines. Elements of cross-referencing to highlight thematic links as well as effective chapter conclusions will make the text appealing to advanced students taking courses in social and organizational psychology, management and organization studies, not just scholars interested in these themes.

Download or read book Leadership Processes and Follower Self identity written by Robert G. Lord and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a follower-centered perspective on leadership, this book focuses on followers as the direct determinant of leadership effects because it is generally through follower reactions and behaviors that leadership attempts succeed or fail. Therefore, leadership theory needs to be articulated with a theory of how followers create meaning from leadership acts and how this meaning helps followers self-regulate in specific contexts. In this book, an attempt is made to develop such a theory, maintaining that the central construct in this process is the self-identity of followers. In developing this theoretical perspective, the authors draw heavily from several areas of research and theory. The most critical constructs do not come directly from the leadership literature, but from social and cognitive theory pertaining to follower's self-identity, self-regulatory processes, motivation, values, cognitions, and emotions and perceptions of social justice. Leaders may have profound effects on these aspects of followers and it is by analyzing such indirect, follower-mediated leadership effects that most ideas regarding leadership theory and practice are developed. Due to its broad theoretical focus, this book is relevant to a number of audiences. The authors' principal concern is with the development of leadership theory and the practice of leadership making the book relevant to audiences in management, applied psychology, and social psychology. They have tried to clearly define key constructs and provide practical examples so that the book could be accessible to advanced undergraduate students. However, the diversity of the underlying theoretical literatures and the complexity of the framework developed also make the book appropriate for graduate courses in those disciplines, and for readers with a professional interest in leadership theory or practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports an exploratory field study examining leadership emergence in a virtual team environment. Traditional models of leadership emergence have identified task-related contribution, speaking behavior, and powerorientation as key predictors of leadership emergence in face-to-face environments. In the proposed model ofleadership emergence in virtual team environments, we argued that an individual2s skill in using electroniccommunication technology and the use of the technology would become important predictors of leadershipemergence, while the role of speaking behavior in predicting leadership emergence would be diminishing in virtualteam environments. The proposed model was tested using a data set collected from twenty-eight virtual teamsworking over a period of ten weeks. Our data support the proposed model of leadership emergence in virtual teamenvironments. Implications for future research in leadership emergence and practice are provided.

Download or read book Examining the relationship between leader development readiness and the cognitive emergence and effectiveness outcomes of leader development written by Andrea Steele and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to identify emerging leaders and to accelerate their leader development is paramount for maintaining sound leadership within organisations across time. This longitudinal study sought to broaden current perspectives on the ability and motivationally based attributes that promote positive trajectories of leader development. This paper offers a framework for looking at readiness to develop as a leader as a proximal antecedent of the cognitive, emergence, and effectiveness outcomes of leader development. Leader developmental readiness specifically refers to one's ability and motivation to engage in leader development experiences, accommodate new skill-based knowledge and feedback into one's long-term memory, as well as the ability to employ this leadership-relevant information during the formation of self-concept beliefs (Hannah & Avolio, 2010). Meta-cognitive ability, self-concept clarity, learning goal orientation, developmental efficacy, and interest in leadership are all proposed as dimensions of leader developmental readiness (Avolio & Hannah, 2008). An individual with a high level of leader developmental readiness is proposed to be better prepared to engage in a greater breadth of learning experiences, and is better able to engage with, reflect upon, and learn from these experiences (Hannah & Lester, 2009). Extant research into leader developmental readiness remains in its infancy and is limited in elucidating how readiness predicts leader development across time. The role of self-attention as a moderator of the leader development process was also explored. The leader development of a sample of 1163 managers at an Indian IT company was tracked over three time periods, across a total of approximately 12 months of employment. Random coefficient modelling was employed to model participants' developmental trajectories of leader identity, leader self-efficacy, leader emergence, and leader effectiveness, over time, as a function of their leader developmental readiness. Results showed the dimensions of leader developmental readiness as significant antecedents of initial levels of leader identity, leader self-efficacy, and leader emergence; however, results varied when predicting initial levels of leader effectiveness. Interest in leadership and meta-cognitive ability showed some utility in predicting leader development over time. Reflective self-attention and ruminative self-attention were shown to relate differentially to the leader development process. The results of this research have important implications for identifying the variables that may accurately assess whether an individual is developmentally ready to engage with the content of a leader development program at the appropriate level.
Download or read book Longitudinal Models in the Behavioral and Related Sciences written by Kees van Montfort and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume reviews longitudinal models and analysis procedures for use in the behavioral and social sciences. Written by distinguished experts in the field, the book presents the most current approaches and theories, and the technical problems that may be encountered along the way. Readers will find new ideas about the use of longitudinal analysis in solving problems that arise due to the specific nature of the research design and the data available. Divided into two parts, Longitudinal Models in the Behavioral and Related Sciences opens with the latest theoretical developments. In particular, the book addresses situations that arise due to the categorical nature of the data, issues related to state space modeling, and potential problems that may arise from network analysis and/or growth-curve data. The focus of part two is on the application of longitudinal modeling in a variety of disciplines. The book features applications such as heterogeneity on the patterns of a firm's profit, on house prices, and on delinquent behavior: non-linearity in growth in assessing cognitive aging; measurement error issues in longitudinal research; and distance association for the analysis of change. Part two clearly demonstrates the caution that should be taken when applying longitudinal modeling as well as in the interpretation of the results. Longitudinal Models in the Behavioral and Related Sciences is ideal for advanced students and researchers in psychology, sociology, education, economics, management, medicine, and neuroscience.
