Understanding the dynamics of leadership: the role of follower self-concepts in the leader/follower relationship

Article Abstract:

A theoretical framework was formulated to assess subordinate self-structures' role in the leader/subordinate relationship. The framework, which organizes and integrates a number of social psychology and leadership research studies, shows that the behavior and reactions to leaders of subordinates are affected by the self-concepts of subordinates. The framework also reveals that leaders influence subordinate behavior and other social processes. Such can be attributed to leaders' influence on the self-concept of subordinates.

Do substitutes for leadership really substitute for leadership? An empirical examination of Kerr and Jermier's situational leadership model

Article Abstract:

A study to test the substitutes for leadership model was conducted. Previous studies have indicated the inadequacy of the substitutes for leadership model due to poor psychometric properties of the subscales used and the inadequate methods of testing the model. The sample population includes 372 MBA student and 612 respondents from three organizations. Results indicate a substantial variance caused by many of the subscales and thus may be important determinants of behavior.

Demographic and organizational influences on leader-member exchange and related work attitudes

Article Abstract:

Previous research has shown some evidence of demographic effects on leader-member exchange (LMX) processes. However, they have failed to tackle organizational effects on such processes. To resolve this problem, the ability of demographic and organizational characteristics to constrain or facilitate LMX processes is studied. Results indicate that these characteristics do have an impact on LMX processes.
