| Tiivistelmä: | Ideals (or ideal values) help people to navigate in their social life. At a very fundamental level, they tell about people's concerns, their aspirations, and their desired affiliations in others' eyes. Transferring this to a leaderfollower analysis, our first study (n = 306) verifies that followers identification and gratification with their leaders become stronger, as the leaders' and followers ideal values are more alike. Study 2 (n = 244) broadens the perspective, presenting the novel concept of counter-ideals (i.e., how an ideal leader should not be) as a second, non-redundant reference point. Results confirm a leaders match on ideal and counter-ideal values to have independent effects as both explain unique variance in followers leader identification and satisfaction. Study 3 (n = 136) replicates the results in an experimental scenario study, providing evidence for the proposed causal direction of the underlying process. Finally, the conclsion is reached that counter-ideal values might be an additional reference point that people use to triangulate targets above and beyond ideal values. The implications of our findings are discussed for value research and management. |
