Abstract

Leader influence is considered to be a critical factor of leadership effectiveness, while its potential negative effects have been overlooked. We shed light on the role of the dark side of leader influence in inter- group settings by examining how leader group prototypicality (a typical kind of leader influence) may weaken group members’ inter-group citizenship behavior. Analyses of multiphase, multisource, and multilevel data show that leader group prototypicality interacted with relative leader power is likely to engender group members’ collective narcissism, in turn, drive group members to engage less in inter-group citizenship behavior. Implications for the leadership effectiveness literature and management practice are also discussed.
