在本章中，我们提出了一个领导力的寿命模型，概述了领导者和追随者的年龄以及领导者特质和特征，领导者行为，追随者归因和识别过程的年龄相关变化可能会影响领导力的有效性。首先，我们描述了领导者的特质和特征如何随着年龄的增长而变化，以及这些发展变化如何影响领导者的行为，从而影响领导效率。具体来说，我们讨论了领导者的任务能力，人际属性和动机的年龄相关的变化。我们特别关注如何生成性-一套相互关联的动机有关建立和指导后代-可能会出现作为一个重要的关注在老年人的领导人。其次，我们回顾了有助于解释领导者年龄和年龄相关的特质和特征，追随者年龄以及领导者和追随者的年龄差异如何以及为什么会影响追随者归因和识别过程的理论方法。第三，我们概述了一些边界条件的影响，提出了我们的寿命模型的领导，包括领导者和追随者的关系持续时间，情境特征，以及文化，社会和历史背景。最后，我们讨论了我们的模型对未来研究和组织实践的影响。
In this chapter, we present a lifespan model of leadership that outlines how leader and follower age as well as age-related changes in leader traits and characteristics, leader behaviors, and follower attribution and identification processes may influence leadership effectiveness. First, we describe how leader traits and characteristics change with age and how these developmental changes may impact on leader behaviors and, subsequently, leadership effectiveness. Specifically, we discuss age-related changes in leaders’ task competence, interpersonal attributes, and motivation to lead. We particularly focus on how generativity – a set of interconnected motives pertaining to establishing and guiding future generations – may emerge as an important concern among older leaders. Second, we review theoretical approaches that help explain how and why leader age and age-related traits and characteristics, follower age, as well as leader-follower age differences may influence follower attribution and identification processes. Third, we outline a number of boundary conditions of the effects proposed by our lifespan model of leadership, including leader-follower relationship duration, situational characteristics, as well as the cultural, social, and historical context. We conclude the chapter by discussing our model’s implications for future research and organizational practice.
