20.500.12556/RUL-146681 Evolutionary tendencies of simple social exchange across the stages of ego development implications for leadership This paper addresses the research question of how the stages of ego development impact the interpretation schemes of the simple social exchange (act of giving). Using a sample of N = 290 respondents, we present the research findings on the evolution of the interpretation schemes of the act of giving across the levels of ego development. Research findings reveal the tendency of the stage of ego development to impact the properties and effects of the simple social exchange (act of giving). We theorize implications for leadership. We propose that the higher order of ego development induces a higher quality leader-member exchange (LMX) and greater likelihood of resolution of adaptive leadership challenges. Furthermore, followers are more likely to entrust power to a leader in exchange for high‐quality relationships. The paper is a tentative attempt of merger of the LMX theory with the constructive school of adult development. This merger illuminates an interesting relation, namely that the stage of ego development might be a likely determinant of the quality of the LMX and leadership effectiveness.  Članek obravnava raziskovalno vprašanje, kako stopnje osebnega razvoja posameznika vplivajo na osmišljanje preproste družbene izmenjave (preučujemo dejanje prostovoljnega dajanja daril, pohval ipd.). Na vzorcu 290 anketirancev predstavljamo izsledke raziskave o evoluciji osmišljanja prostovoljnega dajanja po stopnjah osebnega razvoja. Izsledki raziskave razkrivajo, da višje stopnje osebnega razvoja osmišljajo dejanje prostovoljnega dejanja manj materialno, bolj pozitivno, pri tem doživljajo bolj kompleksna čustva, izhajajo iz več zornih kotov in so bolj osredotočene na kvaliteto odnosa z prejemnikom darila. Identificirane tendence posplošimo na učinke za vodenje, pri čemer izhajamo iz teorije izmenjave vodja‐član (angl. leader–member exchange; LMX). Zaključimo, da višja stopnja osebnega razvoja vodi do bolj kakovostne izmenjave vodja‐član in povečuje verjetnost rešitve prilagoditvenih problemov pri vodenju. Poleg tega je verjetneje, da bodo člani bolj zaupali vodji v zameno za visokokakovostne odnose med njimi. Članek poskuša združiti teorijo LMX s konstruktivno šolo razvoja odraslih. Ta združitev osvetljuje zanimivo razmerje, in sicer, da je stopnja osebnega razvoja verjeten dejavnik kakovosti izmenjave vodja‐član in povečuje uspešnost vodenja. enterprises management leadership ego development LMX theory generativity act of giving social exchange podjetje management vodenje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-06-06 13:10:10 2023-06-06 13:13:22 2023-06-15 11:19:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 55-70 iss. 2 Vol. 11 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 005 2232-5867 10.17708/DRMJ.2022.v11n02a04 132877315 Evolutionary_tendencies_of_simple_social_exchange_across_the_stages_of_ego_development_implications_for_leadership.pdf Evolutionary_tendencies_of_simple_social_exchange_across_the_stages_of_ego_development_implications_for_leadership.pdf 1 46D526F4D2A0AFBF1C7113BF3EDCD792 736f8480847fabb352a29b7a02e102afbed82120bc679f7eb74779d7f77ccbce c55ef72b-045a-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169925 https://sam-d.si/en/revija/evolutionary-tendencies-of-simple-social-exchange-across-the-stages-of-ego-development-implications-for-leadership-2/ 0 cc076608-045a-11ee-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169926 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
