摘要：Followership study is gaining momentum in leadership research. Drawing from Conservation of Resource Theory (COR) and constructive approach in followership theory, this study investigates the moderating role of courageous followership on shared leadership and team performance. Using sample of leader-follower dyad from 28 teams in multiple departments of research and innovation labs in Pakistan, we support our hypothesis that courageous followership enhances relationship-oriented shared leadership impact on team performance. Moreover, the negative impact of task-oriented shared leadership on team performance is reduced by courageous followership behavior. This study has critical implications for followership development highlighting the role of followers in team performance. Organization needs to focus development of courageous followership along with good leadership.
