Question Answer
Destructive vs Ineffective Leadership Destructive leadership: callous, corrupt, insular, evil Ineffective: incompetent, rigid, intempered
Mechanisms of Passive Destructive Leadership's Negative Effects
Active Destructive Leadership defined - Perceived nature of the target behavior, rather than its specific consequences - behaviors that are seemingly voluntary in nature (tyranny, supervisor agression, destructive leadership, workplace bullying, victimization)
Mechanisms of Active Destructive Leadership's Negative Effects - violating the legitimate expectations of the subordinates and/or superiors concerned - it undermines: additional job demands, lower resources, experienced injustice, psychological contracts, follwer needs
Reasons for Active Destructive Leadership: Toxic Triangle - Destructive Leaders (Charisma, Personalized Power, narcisicm, negative life themes, ideology of hate) - Susceptible Followers (Conformers/Colluders) - Conducive Environments (Instability, perceived threat, cultural values)
Trickle-Down Effect of Active Destructive Leadership Social Learning (family history of aggression, organizational culture/norms, country culture/norms) -> Identity Threat (Subordinate provocation, displaced agression, sensitivity to threat) -> Self Regulation impairment (workload/pressure to perform, difficult employees, fatigue, coping with demands on self-resources) ->>> Abusive supervision
Evaluation Strengths: - directs attention to a long ignored topic - bears potential to explain negative workplace phenomena (eg counterproductive work behaviour, bullying, incivility, etc) Weaknesses: - very broad and unspecific meta-category, many different conceptualizations - limited research on the dark side of leadership in general - only few experimental studies to determine causality
