威權領導：概念源起、現況檢討及未來方向

Authoritarian Leadership: A Review and Agenda for Future Research

威權領導是華人領導研究的起點，也是家長式領導三元論中相當鮮明而重要的一環。過去30多年來，相關文獻已略有積累，研究議題更於近幾年開始蓬勃發展。然而，令人訝異的是，尚無針對威權領導進行的回顧式探討。在缺乏整體性脈絡介紹的引導，以及對該議題之優勢與困境的評論性分析下，新知識的創發或理論發展的創見將不易生成。有鑑於此，本文企圖對威權領導研究作一綜觀性的回顧，從社會歷史脈絡的剖析（回顧）、研究現況的統整（現況）及未來研究趨勢的探討（前瞻）3個部分來說明，期望藉由本文的系統性考察與深刻反省，俾作為後續研究發展之基礎。如此，才能立足現在，放眼未來。

Authoritarian leadership (AL) is a beginning of Chinese leadership research. It is also an important element of triad model of paternalistic leadership. In the past thirty years, numerous researches have accumulated and AL has received growing interest in recent years. However, it is surprising that there is no review paper focus on AL. In lacking of a holistic guide and critical review on AL, it is hard to create new knowledge and develop or elaborate extant theory. Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to share findings and enhance understanding from a literature review of the ongoing theoretical and empirical research on AL. We first tracing back to the cultural background wherein AL emerged and next providing an overall picture of major advances and emerging patterns in this research domain over the last decades. Lastly, we summarize and evaluate the contributions and limitations of previous research, and propose a roadmap for future research by addressing some frontier issues. On the basis of this systematic review, we try to advance our knowledge of AL and draw with an agenda for theoretical development and empirical research exploration.
