text: While considerable research has been conducted on understanding the multiple
drivers of informal emergent leadership, less attention has been given to the
implications of these emergent leaders for a team’s success. Integrating socioanalytic
and functional leadership theory, we developed and tested a multilevel model of
antecedents and outcomes of emergent leadership within short-term, virtual teams.
We propose that distinct configurations of explicit motives may lead to emergent
leadership, and that the resulting leadership motive profiles combine with team
processes to promote team success. Hence, we apply a configurational, person-centered
perspective to examine what combinations will be sufficient to emerge as a leader
and achieve superior team performance. Using fuzzy set qualitative comparative
analysis (fsQCA) at individual and team level (223 individuals in 54 teams), we
find two causal paths involving specific motive configurations for emergent leadership,
namely a) presence of preference for teamwork combined with presence of goal priority
and of power motive (the captain), b) absence of preference for teamwork combined
with presence of reliance (the opportunist); and multiple causal paths for superior
team performance, either combining different team processes regardless of leadership,
or if leadership is needed, then only the captain with different combinations
of team processes.
