Narcissistic leaders are self-absorbed and hold beliefs of entitlement and superiority. Their aggressive tendencies in the face of criticism and inclinations to validate their selfworth by derogating others may lead others to perceive them as being abusive. Here, we test the relationship between leader narcissism and followers’ perceptions of abusive supervision. Drawing upon research related t...

We investigated the relationships between leaders' and their followers' psychological capital and organizational identification in a Chinese community. Participants included 423 followers on 34 work teams, each with its respective team leader. Hierarchical linear models (HLM) were used in the analyses to delineate the relationships among participants' demographic background (gender, age, marita...

In this thesis we have conducted a statistical analysis of the online social network Twitter. Specifically, we focused on investigating a correlation between hashtags and increase of followers to determine whether the addition of hashtags to tweets produces new followers. We have designed a controlled experiment in which we create two groups of users: one tweeting with hashtags and the other tw...

This paper studies multi-user communication systems with two groups of users, namely leaders who possess system information, and followers who have no such information, by using the formulation of Stackelberg games. In such games, leaders play and choose their actions based on their information about the system, and followers choose their actions myopically, according to their observations of t...

Handling Editor: Shelly Dionne Network scholars argue that one responsibility of leaders is to help their followers develop social capital.We suggest that oneway leaders do this is by encouraging followers to engage in networking behavior. However, we argue that such encouragement is more effective when leaders are seen as less transformational, because followers are then less able to benefit f...

In this paper, we study the likelihood of Bernie Sanders supporters voting for Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton. Building from a unique time-series dataset of the three candidates’ Twitter followers, which we make public here, we first study the proportion of Sanders followers who simultaneously follow Trump (but not Clinton) and how this evolves over time. Then we train a convolutional ...

This paper deals with a collision avoidance problem in leader-following formation navigation for multiple mobile robots. Because followers should move along a leader’s trajectory, we first try to avoid collisions by adjusting their velocities on the trajectory. This strategy causes delays of the followers from the leader, which is often problematic because we cannot predict how late the followe...

One key function of political leadership is to facilitate coordinated action by “followers.” The need to fulfill this function can affect leaders’ strategic incentives to depict the political world in one way as opposed to another when choosing political communications. This paper describes a laboratory experiment that was conducted to explore the effects of a leader’s communications on followe...
