CEO责任型领导形成过程与演进路径:基于烙印理论的质性研究

Formation and Evolution Mechanism of CEO Responsible Leadership:A Qualitative Study Based on Imprinting Theory

责任型领导作为符合中国文化道德期望的领导类型,受到越来越多学者的关注。本文采用多案例研究方法,通过对多名企业CEO的一手访谈及传记剖析,探讨了中国式的责任型领导的形塑及演进过程。研究发现:(1)中国环境下的责任型领导形成过程是领导者道德自我不断升华与发展过程。(2)中国传统文化中的集体主义、以义取利等文化内涵深刻影响着本土责任型领导烙印源及烙印过程。(3)中国崇德谦逊的伦理取向影响本土责任型领导演进机制,不同敏感期的烙印存在显现、强化和覆盖三种典型路径。本文深入探索了责任型领导形成机制,提炼“初心不变,认知迭代,行为显现”演进过程模型,形成具有中国特色的责任型领导演进理论,并为中国情境下责任型领导的培育和塑造提供现实启示。

Responsible leadership,as a type of leadership which meets cthical expectations of traditional Chinese culture,has received increasing attention of scholars.This paper adopts a multicase study method and explores the formation and evolution process of Chinese responsible leadership by conducting in-depth interviews and biographical analysis of CEOs.This research finds that:(1)The formation process of responsible leadership in China is a process of continuous selfsublimation and moral development of the leaders.(2)The cultural connotations of collectivism and pursuit of righteousness in traditional Chinese culture deeply influence the imprinting source and process of responsible leadership development.(3)The tradition of China's reverence for virtue and humility affects the evolution mechanism of responsible leadership,and there are three typical paths for the imprint of different sensitive periods:manifestation,strengthening,and replaccment.This study explores the formation mechanism of responsible leadership,extracts the evolution process model of"unchanged original intention,cognitive iteration,and behavioral manifestation",forms a theory of responsible leadership evolution with Chinese characteristics,and provides practical inspiration for the cultivation and shaping of responsible leadership in the Chinese context.
