Abstract
Given the positive effects ethical leaders have on their followers’ performance, the literature has largely assumed that ethical leadership also facilitates leader performance. We challenge this assumption by adopting a within-person perspective to reveal more nuanced relationships between daily ethical leadership and daily leader performance. Building on the affect theory of social exchange (Lawler, 2001), we develop a dynamic model to suggest that daily promotion-and prevention-focused ethical leadership might have diverging effects on daily leader performance through the reciprocal influence of followers’ affective reactions. Results from an experience sampling methodology (ESM) study largely supported our model.
