Project Details
Description
This project examines the role that shared social identity (a sense of 'we-ness') plays in defining supervisors as leaders rather than power-holders and the supervised as followers rather than the powerless. It also tests the hypothesis that when individuals define themselves as sharing social identity with the other party in a supervisory relationship, their communication is more effective, the need for surveillance is reduced, and they behave as better citizens. The research will play a key role in advancing a theoretical and practical approach to social and organisational psychology for which Australian researchers are attracting increasing international attention
