The Leadership Quarterly Special Issue on Leadership,

Self, and Identity

The Leadership Quarterly will publish a special issue on Leadership, Self, and Identity.

The intent of this issue is to examine the role of self and identity in leadership

effectiveness. Topics that might be relevant to this issue include follower self-conception

and identity as a mediator of the effects of leadership, follower self-conception and identity as

a moderator of the impact of leader behavior, and the influence of leadership on follower self-

concept as an outcome in itself. Variables that could be relevant in this context include, but

are not limited to, self-construal, self-categorization, identification, social identity salience,

prototypicality, self-efficacy, collective efficacy, self-esteem, self-determination, self-regula-

tion, and self-consistency. Both empirical and theoretical analyses will be considered for

publication in the special issue, although the preference will be given to empirical research.

Empirical contributions may concern studies in organizational, political, or other field

settings, as well as laboratory experiments.

It is anticipated that this special issue will be published in April 2005 with an additional

issue being published if a sufficient number of high-quality manuscripts are obtained. Both

regular manuscripts (between 40 and 50 pages plus references, tables and figures in length)

and research reports (17 text pages plus references, tables and figures maximum) will be

considered for publication. All manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the

American Psychological Association format.

Due date: Submissions should be received by the 1st of August 2004.

Dr. Barbara van Knippenberg (Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands), Dr. David de Cremer
