破坏性领导研究:定义、整合与展望

Destructive Leadership Research-Definition,Integration,and Future Direction

近来有关破坏性领导的研究逐渐引起学者们的关注,虽然描述破坏性领导的构念较多,但是缺乏统一的定义与理论框架。基于此,首先回顾了破坏性领导的相关概念并提出了一个基于过程视角的破坏性领导定义。该定义强调破坏性领导是一种基于法定权威的过程或行为,其对象不仅仅限于下属,而是组织的全体利益相关者;其判定标准是是否对组织的合法利益造成侵害。其次,提出了一个综合性的理论框架,以便从整体视角理解破坏性领导研究。最后,提出了未来的研究方向与建议。
