dc.description.abstract | The increasing popularity of self-managing teams has sparked interest in the
impact of shared leadership structures on team outcomes. Yet, it is unclear how shared
leadership structures form or why they vary across teams. While research suggests that
leadership claiming and granting are essential to the social construction of shared
leadership in teams, the latter has received little attention. Therefore, this study aimed to
address the fundamental questions “what factors determine who is granted leadership by
individuals in a team?” and “what factors determine how many others are granted
leadership by individuals in a team?” I proposed that leader identity level influences
granting behaviors such that those with a collective-level leader identity perceive team
members who display warmth as leaders and those with an individual-level leader
identity perceive team members who display competence as leaders. Further, I proposed
that leadership structure schema (LSS) influences granting behaviors such that those with
a more hierarchical LSS grant to one or few others and those with a more egalitarian LSS
grant to many others. These hypotheses were tested with an experimental vignette design
using a sample of MTurk participants and the results were found to be nonsignificant.
Limitations and future research are discussed. | en_US |
