Individuals in leadership roles represent a large group of the nation’s workforce, and their behaviors not only affect organizational effectiveness but also influence the prosperity and welfare of people in their nonwork domains. Despite their importance, prior research has paid limited attention to the nonwork domain, including family, community, and personal life, contexts that are antecedents and consequences of leadership role occupancy, leadership development, and day-to-day variation of leadership behaviors. This project takes a life-span and holistic approach to analyze how nonwork domain variables, such as community involvement and volunteering activities, lead to and are shaped by leadership role occupancy. Further, the project provides critical insights on how nonwork domain experiences might promote leadership development and how leadership development might contribute to leaders’ growth and thriving in other nonwork domains. Lastly, the project will help to uncover how and when leaders’ day-to-day behaviors and their nonwork domain experiences mutually influence each other. These findings will inform business organizations seeking to promote leadership to facilitate their economic competitiveness, and will also inform society regarding how leadership in one context may contribute to the welfare of organizations more generally.We know very little regarding how leadership in one organizational context may influence leadership and work behavior more generally, or the reciprocal relationships between leadership in multiple domains. Adopting a multi-method approach, this project will conduct three empirical studies. First, the project will use archival data (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, NLSY) collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (NLSY 79, NLSY 79 Children and Young Adults, and NLSY 97) to examine how individuals’ nonwork experiences and their leadership role occupancy at work influence each other reciprocally. The project will use mixture latent Markov modeling to capture and predict the leadership role transition patterns. Second, the project will use a longitudinal design collecting multi-wave, multi-source data to examine the interplay between leaders’ nonwork experiences and their leadership development processes using latent change score models. The third study takes a within-person perspective and analyzes how leaders’ work and nonwork experiences and behaviors are interconnected on a daily basis. The project will conduct an experience sampling study over 10 consecutive days, capturing fluctuations of leaders’ work and nonwork behaviors and experiences that are otherwise missed by surveys separated by longer time intervals; it will use dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) in data analysis. Lastly, by triangulating findings of three studies using different methods, the project will promote a more comprehensive understanding of how leaders’ work and nonwork experience affect each other across different time frames and life stages. Findings from the project will inform organizational theories regarding leadership, as well as life course perspectives that focus on the interplay between work and non-work domains, especially regarding leadership.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

领导角色的个人代表了美国的一大批劳动力，他们的行为不仅会影响组织的效力，而且会影响人们在非工作领域中的繁荣和福利。尽管它们很重要，但先前的研究对非工作领域（包括家庭，社区和个人生活）的关注程度有限，这些环境是领导角色占用，领导力发展，领导力发展以及领导行为的日常变化的情况。该项目采用了寿命和整体方法来分析非工作领域变量（例如社区参与和自愿活动）如何导致并受到领导角色占用的影响。此外，该项目提供了有关非工作领域体验如何促进领导力发展以及领导力发展如何为领导者在其他非工作领域蓬勃发展的繁荣的关键见解。最后，该项目将有助于发现领导者的日常行为及其非工作领域经历如何相互影响。这些发现将为寻求促进领导力以支持其经济竞争力的商业组织提供信息，并将告知社会在一种情况下，领导能力如何为组织的福利做出贡献。我们对一个组织环境中的领导能力如何更普遍地影响领导力和工作行为，或者在多个领域的领导力之间更加普遍地影响领导能力。采用多方法方法，该项目将进行三项实证研究。首先，该项目将使用美国劳工统计局（NLSY 79，NLSY 79名儿童和年轻人以及NLSY 97）收集的档案数据（NLSY的全国纵向调查，NLSY），以研究个人的非工作经验及其在工作中的领导角色占用方式如何相互影响。该项目将使用潜在的马尔可夫建模来捕获和预测领导角色转变模式。其次，该项目将使用纵向设计收集多波动，多源数据，以使用潜在的变更得分模型来检查领导者的非工作经验与他们的领导力发展过程之间的相互作用。第三项研究采用了人际观点，并分析了领导者的工作以及非工作经验和行为如何每天相互联系。该项目将连续10天进行体验抽样研究，从而捕捉领导者的工作和非工作行为和经验的波动，而这些行为和经验否则会因较长的时间间隔所分离的调查而错过了这些行为和经验；它将在数据分析中使用动态结构方程建模（DSEM）。最后，通过使用不同方法的三项研究的三角调节结果，该项目将促进对领导者的工作和非工作经验如何在不同的时间范围和生活阶段相互影响的更全面的理解。该项目的调查结果将为组织理论提供有关领导的组织理论，以及关注工作与非工作领域之间相互作用的生活课程的观点，尤其是在领导力方面。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来评估的。
