我们研究了领导者的隐性追随理论（LIFT）（追随者的概念）与自然发生的皮格马利翁效应（领导者提高追随者绩效的高绩效期望）之间的关系。基于 151 名工作场所领导者-追随者二人组的结果支持自然发生的皮格马利翁效应模型。积极的提升会带来领导者更高的绩效期望、喜好和关系质量，从而影响追随者的绩效。监督经验调节了正向提升与领导者对其追随者的绩效期望之间的关系，因此，监督经验较少的领导者的绩效期望更容易受到其追随者观念的影响。讨论了研究结果对提高追随者绩效的影响。提出了未来研究的建议：LIFT 的前因、负 LIFT、傀儡效应和角色反转皮格马利翁效应等。
We investigated the relationships between leaders' implicit followership theories (LIFTs) (conceptions of followers) and naturally occurring Pygmalion effects (leaders' high performance expectations that improve follower performance). Results based on 151 workplace leader–follower dyads supported a model of naturally occurring Pygmalion effects. Positive LIFTs led to higher performance expectations, liking, and relationship quality from leaders, which impacted follower performance. Supervisory experience moderated the relationship between positive LIFTs and leaders' performance expectations for their followers, such that the performance expectations of leaders with less supervisory experience were more strongly influenced by their conceptions of followers. Implications of the findings for improving follower performance are discussed. Suggestions for future research are offered: antecedents of LIFTs, negative LIFTs, Golem effects, and role reversed Pygmalion effects, among others.
