Symbolic and Interactional Perspectives on Leadership: An Integrative Framework.

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a Symbolic Interactional Leadership model. The model integrates three emergent streams of thought, symbolic action, reciprocal interactions, and interactional psychology, into a fresh approach which offers considerable advancement over simple, unidirectional, bivariate, static models. Implications for future theory and research are discussed. This model, while not yet a fully articulated theory, does represent a significant advancement over simple unidirectional, bivariate, static models. While likely to be subject to further refinement and development, the SIL model, then, may provide a useful framework for organizing existing theory and serving as a blueprint for future research.
