領導模式對團體穩定性的影響

The Impact of Leadership Style on Group Stability

本研究調查不同的領導模式對個人決策制定與團體穩定性所造成的影響。研究發現，在獨裁型領導模式下（跟民主型與放任型領導模式相比時），其團體成員較傾向脫離團體並將資源帶走。獨裁型領導模式之所以會引發團體解離，主要是受到領導程序的影響。也就是說：當團體成員處在獨裁型領導模式下時（跟處在民主型領導模式下相比時），團員們缺乏決策參與、為團體付出的機會，因此不論個人是否能從領導者身上得到利益，團員皆會選擇離開團體，團體於是解離。

This research examined the influences of various leadership styles (autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire) on individual decision-making and the stability of their group. The findings showed that individuals were more likely to exit their group and take their resources elsewhere if they were supervised by an autocratic leader than a democratic or laissez-faire leader. The destabilizing influence of autocratic leadership is due to the procedural rather than distributive aspects of such leadership style, i.e., more members exited their group under an autocratic style leadership, relative to a democratic style leader, regardless of whether they received favorable outcomes from the leader.
