With the aim of extending the healthy physiological variability thesis to Leadership Studies, we examined the hypothesized links among leaders' within-person variability in physiological arousal, their task- and relations-oriented behaviors and their overall effectiveness. During regularly-held staff meetings, wristband skin sensors and video cameras captured synchronized physiological and fine-grained behavioral data of 36 leaders within one organization. Perceived leader effectiveness ratings were obtained from their followers. Multi-level log-linear analyses showed no elevated levels of arousal during the task-oriented behaviors of both the highly effective and the less effective leaders. The highly effective leaders showed a significantly greater likelihood of high levels of physiological arousal during positive and negative relations-oriented behaviors. We thus report a physiological correlate of relations-oriented leader behavior; especially among the most effective leaders, higher levels of arousal co-occurred with their positive and negative relations-oriented behavior in the meetings. Having used two high-resolution methods to advance insights about effective organizational leadership, this field study illuminates the importance of capturing the co-occurrence of within-person variability in leaders' bodily responses and their precisely measured behaviors over time in a functional social setting at work.

为了将健康的生理变异性论文扩展到领导力研究，我们研究了领导者在生理唤醒方面的内在变异性、他们以任务和关系为导向的行为及其整体有效性之间的假设联系。在定期举行的员工会议上，腕带皮肤传感器和摄像机捕获了一个组织内 36 位领导者的同步生理和细粒度行为数据。感知的领导效能评级是从他们的追随者那里获得的。多级对数线性分析显示，高效领导者和效率低下领导者的任务导向行为都没有提高唤醒水平。高效领导者在积极和消极的关系导向行为中表现出更高水平的生理唤醒的可能性。因此，我们报告了以关系为导向的领导行为的生理相关性；特别是在最有效率的领导者中，更高水平的唤醒与他们在会议中的积极和消极的关系导向行为同时发生。本实地研究使用了两种高分辨率方法来推进对有效组织领导的洞察，阐明了在功能性社会环境中捕捉领导者身体反应中人体内变异性的同时发生及其随着时间的推移精确测量的行为的重要性。工作。特别是在最有效率的领导者中，更高水平的唤醒与他们在会议中的积极和消极的关系导向行为同时发生。本实地研究使用了两种高分辨率方法来推进对有效组织领导的洞察，阐明了在功能性社会环境中捕捉领导者身体反应中人体内变异性的同时发生及其随着时间的推移精确测量的行为的重要性。工作。特别是在最有效率的领导者中，更高水平的唤醒与他们在会议中的积极和消极的关系导向行为同时发生。本实地研究使用了两种高分辨率方法来推进对有效组织领导的洞察，阐明了在功能性社会环境中捕捉领导者身体反应中人体内变异性的同时发生及其随着时间的推移精确测量的行为的重要性。工作。
