Call for papers

We are inviting the submission of papers based on empirical and theoretical studies on leadership and followership (broadly defined) that are related to the mini-conference theme, that is, which investigate leader behaviours and how these are perceived across organizational hierarchies (e.g., subordinates, peers, or supervisors) from the perspective of different levels of analysis (e.g., individual, relational or team).

This includes topics like cognition and emotions in leadership processes (identity, diversity, leadership development literature), projects based on innovative way of measuring leader behaviours, various leadership styles, including constructive and destructive leadership, for example.

The selection of papers for the presentations will be based on submitted extended abstracts in a structure including the following sections a) Purpose, b) Design/methodology/approach, c) Findings, d) Originality/Contributions.

Presentations will be selected based on the quality of the submission  and the fit with the topic by the organization committee.
