目前的研究审查了科学家和工程师的回顾性经验，因为他们成为新的单位领导人在科学和工程公司。这项研究的目的是提出一种理论，使人们更好地理解科学家和工程师如何成功地进化成新的领导者。这种演变是在Robledo，Peterson和Mumford（2012）的3-Vectors模型的背景下考虑的，以了解科学和工程公司的新领导者发现自己的情况。然后从社会认同理论的角度来考虑这一演变，以理解科学家或工程师作为新领导者的关系发展。出现的理论是，如果没有对新的社会技术身份的情况和适应的充分理解，在领导角色中取得成功充其量是不确定的。身份发展和情境理解对于促进和加快科学家和工程师过渡到新的领导角色都是必要的。从员工级科学家到领导者的转变可以通过本文所支持的个人和组织行动来提高生产力。这些影响揭示了科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）和类似技术学科的组织，个人，研究人员和教育工作者的重要性的许多方面。
The current study examined the retrospective experience of scientists and engineers as they became new unit leaders in science and engineering firms. The goal of the study was to propose a theory that would lead to a better understanding of how scientists and engineers can be successful in their evolution into new leaders. The evolution was considered in the context of Robledo, Peterson, and Mumford's (2012) 3-Vectors Model to appreciate the situation in which new leaders in scientific and engineering firms find themselves. The evolution was then considered in the perspective of Social Identity Theory to understand the relational development of the scientist or engineer as a new leader. The theory that emerged was that without a sound understanding of both the situation and adaptation of a new sociotechnical identity, achieving success in the leadership role is, at best, uncertain. Identity development and situational understanding are both necessary to facilitate and expedite the transition of scientists and engineers into the new leadership role. The transition from staff-level scientist to leader can be made more productive through individual and organizational action espoused herein. The implications reveal many aspects of importance for organizations, individuals, researchers, and educators in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and similar technical disciplines.
