内容简介:

Informal leadership has received considerable attention over the last decade, yet the literature remains unclear about the interpersonal dynamics in teams where both informal and formal leadership coexist. Integrating the social functional view of emotions with recent theoretical advancements on workplace jealousy, this work propose a theoretical model that explains how supervisors react emotionally and behaviorally to informal leadership. Specifically, the research theorize that the presence of a subordinate who demonstrates higher levels of informal leadership can trigger supervisor downward jealousy, particularly when the informal leader is competent. The work further proposes that jealous supervisors are more likely to provide support and less likely to engage in abusive supervision toward other subordinates, particularly when other subordinates are competent. This nuanced perspective offers new insights into emotion and relational dynamics in today’s increasingly decentralized workplaces.
