Sob pressão: como líderes reagem a ameaças à identidade relacionada a sua liderança paradoxal
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender como indivíduos com uma identidade de liderança paradoxal respondem a ameaças a essa identidade. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de natureza qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas com 44 líderes de uma cooperativa de crédito brasileira. Após a realização de uma análise de conteúdo, identificamos cinco respostas de enfrentamento, que codificamos como “abandonando a identidade”, “defendendo a identidade”, “desacreditando ameaçadores”, “alterando o significado da identidade” e “relativizando a relevância da ameaça”. O estudo conclui que a escolha do tipo de estratégia de enfrentamento é crucial para a preservação ou reformulação da identidade de liderança paradoxal de um indivíduo.
