德行领导:探索与反思

Exploration and Reflection on Moral Leadership

领导研究历来是心理学、管理学、社会学、政治学等学科非常重视的课题,领导对社会、组织、团队的发展也起着非常重要的作用。由于文化的差异,西方和中国的领导理论有所不同,在众多学者的不断努力下,有关领导理论的本土化研究越来越丰富。回顾40多年来中国领导研究中最具自身文化特色的一个——德行领导理论,从研究变迁与概念发展、结构测量、领导有效性等方面对其国内外研究现状进行了梳理和总结,并在此基础上从存在原因、研究整合、中外比较、时代发展四个角度,对以往德行领导研究作出反思,对未来研究提出设想和展望。

As an interdisciplinary research area, leadership is an important research issue in the disciplines like psychology, sociology, and political sciences. Leaders play a key role in the development of team, organization, and society. However, due to cultural differences, leadership theories vary in western countries and in China. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of many scholars, indigenization of leadership theory has won a significant progress. The authors provide a systematic review of moral leadership theory which is considered as the most typical Chinese theory in the leadership research over the past four decades. They reviewed the state of art at home and abroad, involving the aspects of research tracks, concept evolvement, structure, measurement, and effectiveness of moral leadership. Based on this review the authors reflected the existed studies of moral leadership from the perspectives of origins, integration, comparative studies on China and foreign countries, and latest development trends. Moreover, suggestions and prospects for future research were also included.
