公仆型领导的负面效应及其缓冲机制探究

过去, 研究人员普遍认为公仆型领导是一种对员工、团队和组织有积极作用的领导方式, 但新近的研究表明公仆型领导也会引起潜在的负面效应。针对此问题, 首先介绍公仆型领导的概念与研究概况。然后, 分别从领导者自身和下属员工的角度, 基于角色压力、自我控制资源分配、资源保存、内隐追随、领导与成员交换、领导原型等理论, 探究公仆型领导的负面效应及其缓冲机制。最后, 从研究层面、研究方法、研究视角、研究内容等四个方面提出未来研究建议。

The negative effects of servant leadership and its buffer mechanism

This paper focuses on the detrimental effects of servant leadership on leaders themselves and their subordinates. The paper conducts a literature review on the concept and achievements of servant leadership. This paper explores the detrimental effects of servant leadership on leaders themselves and the mitigating mechanisms using role stress, resource allocation of self-control, and conservation of resources as theoretical bases. We also explore the detrimental effects of servant leadership on subordinates and the mitigating mechanisms based on implicit followership, leader-member exchange, and leadership prototypes theories. Moreover, future research directions regarding research levels, methods, perspectives and contents are discussed. It is our hope that this paper will encourage both researchers and practitioners to understand how and when the detrimental effects of servant leadership on leaders themselves and subordinates occur, and provide theoretical guidance for future empirical research on the detrimental effects of servant leadership.
