分化与整合——家长式领导研究的走向

Disintegration and Integration: The Research Trend of Paternalistic Leadership

作为本土领导研究的典范,郑伯埙团队研究的家长式领导理论对本土的理论构建与主位研究方法做出了重大贡献。然而,由于威权维度与德行和仁慈维度负相关、家长式领导这一构念与其三个维度之间的关系不明晰等问题的存在,该理论在发展中遇到了问题。目前,围绕家长式领导,出现了单维与多维并存、本土理论与外域理论竞争的多重格局。本文在对家长式领导的构念进行剖析后,总结了目前相关的实证研究,重点评析了该理论遇到的问题,并在此基础上从解决构念的内在矛盾、扩大研究层次及中西对比三个方面对未来的发展方向提出了建议。

As the model of indigenous leadership research, the theory of paternalistic leadership proposed by Cheng has made a great contribution to indigenous theoretical construct and emic approach. However, because the relationship between the construct and its three dimensions is unclear, the theory is confronted with dilemma and challenge, such as monodimension vs multidimension, indigenous theory vs exotic theory. This paper firstly overviews the concept and measurement of indigenous paternalistic leadership, and then makes a survey of some relevant empirical studies and discusses the dilemma and challenges. Finally, several suggestions in terms of resolving the paradox of the construct, extending investigation levels, the comparison of different constructs） for resolving the dilemma, are given.
