摘要：According to constructivist tradition, leadership is understood as a phenomenon of subjective perception. With this in mind, we compared empirical theories of leadership with subjective leadership theories (Phillips & Lord, 1986; Calder, 1977). A sample of leaders' superiors and followers (N = 694) answered the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire which is associated to the Full Range of Leadership Theory (FRLT, Avolio & Bass, 1991). Additionally, the participants gave insight into their implicit leadership theories by answering open questions. The analysis of implicit leadership theories resulted in 17 categories of leadership traits and behaviors which are not covered by the FRLT. Some new categories show significant correlations with leadership outcome measures. In this regard the new categories explain unique variance beyond the dimensions of the FRLT. The results, limitations and implications are discussed.
