Abstract

In this research, we aim to integrate both implicit leadership theories (ILTs) and implicit followership theories (IFTs). While ILTs investigate followers' subjective views of leaders; IFTs focus on the views of followers (e.g., Sy, 2010). Using a qualitative approach, we explore the joint influence of ILT and IFT fit on the leader–follower dyad and the fit between the followers’ and leaders’ view on ideal leadership and followership respectively. We also compare the fit between actual leaders and followers from a follower’s perspective and explore potential consequences on the effectiveness of the leader- follower dyadic relationship.
