目的双灵巧领导模型具体描述了创新过程中开放和封闭的领导行为。本文旨在强调与创新过程中的领导力相关的双灵巧领导模型。在这个纵向研究设计中，54名员工在六周的时间里对一个创新项目的双右手领导者行为和创新绩效进行了评估。传统领导风格（即变革型领导、交易型领导、工具型领导、领导-成员交换型领导）在人与人之间进行评估，以确定其对创新绩效的影响。结果发现，工具性领导行为、开放性领导行为和封闭性领导行为对创新绩效有显著的正向影响。而变革型领导、交易型领导和领导-成员交换（LMX）对创新绩效的影响不显著。独创性/价值研究结果支持特定领导者行为与创新过程的相关性，因此强调了双灵巧领导模型的重要性。
Purpose The ambidextrous leadership model specifically describes opening and closing leader behaviors in the innovation process. This paper aims to emphasize the relevance of the ambidextrous leadership model with respect to leadership in innovation processes. Design/methodology/approach In this longitudinal research design, 54 employees rated the ambidextrous leader behaviors and innovation performance concerning an innovation project over a period of six weeks. Traditional leadership styles (i.e. transformational, transactional, instrumental leadership, leader-member exchange) were assessed at a between-person level to identify their effects with respect to innovation performance. Findings Multilevel regression analysis results showed that instrumental leadership as well as opening and closing leader behaviors were positively related to innovation performance. By contrast, transformational and transactional leadership as well as leader-member exchange (LMX) did not show significant associations with innovation performance. Originality/value The findings support the relevance of specific leader behaviors to the innovation process and therefore underline the importance of the ambidextrous leadership model.
