Boss’s Boss: How Leadership Influence Flows from the Top to the Bottom

主讲人 : 黄旭 教授

How do upper-level managers exert leadership influence on lower-level employees? Existing leadership research addresses this question by theorizing a “trickle-down” effect, primarily grounded in social learning theory. This research generally predicts a “like father, like son” effect: effective (or ineffective) top managers are likely to cultivate effective (or ineffective) middle managers, who in turn support (or hinder) lower-level employees. In this seminar, I will present two papers that offer fresh insights into some underexplored mechanisms of these trickle-down effects. In Paper One, we demonstrate that the integrity displayed by upper-level managers can create normative pressure that reduces self-serving behaviors among middle managers, as observed by lower-level employees. In Paper Two, drawing from research on third-party  perception, we show that direct interactions between upper-level leaders and lower-level employees—observed by middle managers—can send powerful signals that mitigate abusive supervision.
