Abstract:

Jeffery Pfeffer (1977) argues that three problems with emphasis on leadership as a concept can be posed: (1) ambiguity in definition and measurement of the concept itself; (2) the question of whether leadership has discernable effects on organizational outcomes; and (3) the selection process in succession to leadership positions, which frequently uses organizationally irrelevant criteria and which has implications for normative theories of leadership. The argument here is that leadership is of interest primarily as an phenomenological construct. Leaders serve as symbols for representing personal causation of social events. How and why are such attributions of personal effects made? Instead of focusing on leadership and its effects, how do people make inferences about and react to phenomina labeled as leadership?
