Brand new for the European Academy of Management Conference (EURAM) is our "Leadership track" nested within the
Organisational Behaviour Strategic Interest Group (SIG). Specifically dedicated to leadership papers, we welcome theoretical and empirical papers that apply rigorous quantitative and/or qualitative methods.
The following list of topics offers illustrative (but not exhaustive) examples of themes welcomed for submission to this track:
- contextual factors influencing leadership effectiveness,
- cross-cultural comparisons of leadership approaches and outcomes,
- the dark side of leadership (e.g., destructive, toxic, abusive or narcissistic leadership),
- interdisciplinary approaches to leadership (e.g., behavioral economics),
- leadership in contemporary team contexts (e.g., virtual, diverse, temporary, or self-managing teams),
- leadership interventions and/or randomized experiments,
- leadership's impact on the health or well-being of the followers, teams, or organizational outcomes,
- meta-analytical reviews (e.g., leadership theories and/or their influence on outcomes at different levels),
- organizational or situational factors influencing leader and/or follower behaviors,
- processes leading to effective leadership, and
- theoretical or empirical investigations of responsible and ethical aspects of leadership.
This leadership topic proposal is purposefully broad under the general theme of leadership to appeal to multiple paradigms and approaches spanning numerous EURAM SIGs including (but not limited to) Human Resources, Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organisations, Social Issues, Business & Society, and Research Methods. However, given our primary affiliation with the Organisational Behaviour SIG, we especially encourage micro- and multi-level empirical work.
As the inaugural leadership track editors, we look forward to receiving and reviewing your leadership papers and hope to see you in Glasgow!
