Abstract
The theory of paradoxical followership behavior is one of the emerging issues in the recent management research field, and related researches are booming. This phenomenon indicates that this paradoxical followership behavior theory expects to have as many research results as can be, through the endeavor of all relevant researchers, to let this theory become stronger and more solid about its theoretical basis. This study intends to extend the scope of the current research concerning the theory of paradoxical followership behavior, in particular to explore the antecedents and consequences of this theory. This study particularly focuses on three aspects: whether ubordinates′ holistic thinking and integrative complexity will have respective influence on what extent of paradoxical followership behavior the subordinates may have; and then whether subordinate′s task performance will be further influenced by the paradoxical followership behavior that subordinates actually exhibit. In this study, 473 effective samples of Taiwanese companies were collected for analysis by questionnaires answered by supervisor and subordinate paired accordingly. The results showed that: (1) the holistic thinking of subordinates had positive and significant effect on paradoxical followership behavior; (2) paradoxical followership behavior has positive and significant effect on subordinates’ task performance. According to such result, this study confirms that subordinates’ holistic thinking is the antecedent of paradoxical followership behavior, while paradoxical followership behavior then affects the extent of employees′ task performance.
