本土领导研究及其路径探讨

This paper discusses primary topics of studies on Chinese indigenous leaders and provides an integrated process to conduct indigenous leadership research in China. Reviewing the current status of Chinese indigenous leadership researches, four critical research problems of Chinese indigenous leadership researches are identified. Moreover, research processes of diverse indigenous leaderships integrating multiple methodological paradigms are developed .These processes include three stages: description/interpretation/construction, categorization/theorization, and comparative study. The paper argues that indigenous leadership research should not only rely on Chinese materials and subjects, but also choose methodology that can reveal indigenous leadership facts.
