Discussion: View Thread

Antecedents, Mediators, and Moderators of Strategic Followership

Program Session #1217

**Sincere apologies for cross-postings**

We formally invite you to participate in our Symposium focusing on the Antecedents, Mediators, Moderators of Strategic Followership.  There is a growing interest among leadership scholars who contend that a complete understanding of leadership processes involves investigation of the complementary processes of followership. This view recognizes that followers can contribute to the strategic objectives of organizations in much the same way as organizational leaders. This perspective is also aligned with the equality paradigm of the leader- member exchange. Consistent with that view some researchers have begun to conceptualize strategic followership as a complement to strategic leadership. In this Symposium, we build on those conceptualizations by presenting conceptual and empirical studies that center on the antecedents, mediators, moderators, and outcomes of strategic followership. Following the presentations by several scholars, Ronald Riggio, a major contributor in followership research, will serve as the discussant to provide both theoretical and practical suggestions and lead an interactive group discussion.

We are very pleased to announce the participation of the following scholars:

·       David B. Zoogah, Xavier University (Organizer)

·       Erica L. Anthony, Morgan State University (Organizer)

·       Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College (Discussant)

·       Aaron Makafui Ametorwo, University of Ghana

·       Jeroen Stouten, KU Leuven

·       Thomas M. Tripp, Washington State University

·       Robert Bies, Georgetown University

·       David De Cremer, University of Cambridge

·       Laurent M. Lapierre, University of Ottawa

·       Patrick Terrence Coyle, Lycoming College

·       Roseanne J. Foti, Virginia Tech

Sponsored by the OB, HR, and BPS Divisions, this workshop is scheduled for Monday, August 8, 2015 1:15pm – 2:45pm at the Anaheim Convention Center Room 210D.  Pre-Registration is not required.

We look forward to seeing you in Anaheim!
