Several recent studies have found relationships between individual differences in information-processing styles, as conceptualized in cognitive-experiential theory (CET), and aspects of leadership style and leadership behavior. In these studies, two thinking-style variables, rational thinking and behavioral coping, have consistently correlated positively with transformational leadership, a style of leadership in which leaders favorably transform followers’ attitudes and behaviors toward their work. However, expected relationships between CET’s experiential thinking system and transformational leadership have been elusive. In Study 1, school leaders’ (N = 70) thinking and leadership styles were examined using a new scale that measures experiential thinking more thoroughly than it has been in previous studies by splitting experiential thinking into intuition, imaginative thinking, and emotionality. In Study 1, rational thinking, behavioral coping, and imaginative thinking all correlated positively and significantly with transformational leadership. These results were replicated in Study 2 with the broader leadership sample (N = 93). These results suggest that effective leadership may be fostered by developing leaders’ capacity for imaginative thinking.

重新审视思维方式与变革型领导之间的关系:想象力和情感的贡献是什么?

最近的一些研究发现,认知体验理论(CET)中所概念化的信息处理风格中的个体差异与领导风格和领导行为方面之间存在关联。在这些研究中,两个思维方式变量,即理性思维和行为应对,一直与变革型领导保持正相关,变革型领导是一种领导方式,领导者有利地改变了追随者对其工作的态度和行为。但是,CET的经验思维系统与变革型领导之间的预期关系一直难以捉摸。在研究1中,使用一种新的量表,对学校领导者(N = 70)的思维和领导风格进行了调查,该量表通过将体验思维分为直觉,想象力思维和情感来比以前的研究更全面地衡量体验思维。在研究1中,理性思维,行为应对和想象力思维与变革型领导力呈显着正相关。这些结果已在研究2中以更广泛的领导力样本进行了重复(N = 93)。这些结果表明,通过发展领导者的想象力能力,可以培养有效的领导能力。这些结果已在研究2中以更广泛的领导力样本进行了重复(N = 93)。这些结果表明,通过发展领导者的想象力能力,可以培养有效的领导能力。这些结果已在研究2中以更广泛的领导力样本进行了重复(N = 93)。这些结果表明,通过发展领导者的想象力能力,可以培养有效的领导能力。
