Thus, in this dissertation, I examine the nature of followership and the coinciding influence of courage in followers. Specifically, integrating the nascent followership and courage literature, I introduce a new conceptualization of courageous followership and validate a newly developed multi-dimensional measure of the construct (Study 1).\u0026nbsp; In a separate study, to demonstrate the utility of the new construct in explaining whether, when, and why individuals follow a leader, I draw on event system theory to develop and test an interactionist model that highlights the significance of discrete events in theorizing and expounds upon leader-follower dynamics.\u0026nbsp; Study 2 investigates whether perceptions of leader characteristics (i.e., resilience and relational energy) foster followership behavior (i.e., courageous followership) and subsequently followership outcomes (i.e., follower creativity). Furthermore, I hypothesize that the strength of a weak situation (i.e., disruptive event criticality) influences the relationship between leader resilience and courageous followership and more so when perceptions of leader relational energy are high.\u0026nbsp; The findings of the person-event interactionist model illustrate the independent and synergistic causes of a new type of followership behavior and substantiate the effectiveness of followership in inspiring meaningful outcomes for employees. Theoretical and practical implications, along with directions for future followership research, are discussed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Courageous Followership: An Investigation of the Nature, Antecedents, and Outcomes of a multidimensional construct"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2020-05-20 17:28:54","changed_gmt":"2020-05-20 17:28:54","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-06-02T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2020-06-02T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-06-02T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-06-02 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-06-02 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-06-02 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
