Shared leadership, team members collectively leading the team, has developed from a new perspective on team leadership to an established area of research. As the evidence of the effectiveness of shared leadership accumulates, it comes increasingly into focus that we lack theory about the dynamic interplay of shared leadership and vertical leadership – the leadership by the individual formally assigned to lead the team. The absence of such theory is problematic because vertical leadership is a continuing presence in the shared leadership process and, to be effective, vertical leadership should arguably both influence and be influenced by shared leadership. Linear models in which vertical leadership is treated as a predictor of shared leadership without taking this dynamic into account fall short of capturing how vertical and shared leadership work in conjunction. We propose theory to address this, outlining how vertical leadership can develop, maintain, and complement shared leadership in a process in which shared and vertical leadership coevolve as they influence each other. We identify an internal role for vertical leadership in stimulating the development and maintenance of team cognition for shared leadership, guiding the team in shared leadership, and engendering team reflexivity to learn from the experience with shared leadership, and an external role in complementing shared leadership through boundary spanning to connect the team to its external environment. As shared leadership develops over time, it influences these vertical leadership behaviors, such that vertical leadership evolves as shared leadership evolves.

Organizational Psychology Review

Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology.    Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).    Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.

《Organizational Psychology Review》是一本季度出版的同行评审学术期刊，由SAGE与欧洲工作与组织心理学协会合作出版。该期刊的独特目标是发表组织心理学领域（广义上包括应用心理学、工业心理学、职业心理学、组织行为学、人事心理学和工作心理学）的原创概念性研究和元分析。被《Organizational Psychology Review》接受发表的文章应具有对组织心理学研究和实践产生重大影响的潜力。这些文章将提供值得引用、值得在基础研究中跟进以及值得作为应用管理实践基础进行考虑的分析。因此，这些贡献应超越对现有文献的简单回顾，发展新的理论和见解。同时，它们也应扎根于最新的实证知识基础，提供良好的实证与理论基础的结合，以及令人兴奋的新想法。
