The leader-follower phenomenon is natural for many mobile objects acting collectively. It is possible to find the leader of such collective motion from trajectory data and use it to understand the motion pattern of the group. This work proposes a technique for detecting leader-follower relationships from trajectories of mobile objects, and represents them as a graph sequence. We apply this meth...

This study examined the relationship between individual behavior and leader emergence over the course of a group’s development. Results indicated that behaviors related to leader emergence changed over time. Social behaviors were most strongly associated with leader emergence during the beginning of the project, while task behaviors were most strongly associated with leader emergence during lat...

This study investigated the nature of the relationships between leader reward and punishment behaviors and subordinate performance and satisfaction. Only performance-contingent reward behavior was found to affect subordinate performance significantly. Positive relationships were found between leader contingent reward behavior and employee satisfaction. Contingent punishment had no effects on su...

The social behavior of children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder was evaluated weekly over 19 weeks of a social skills training program. Participants' vocalizations were coded as initiating, responding, or other (e.g., self-talk). Participants' interactions were coded as dyadic peer interactions, dyadic leader interactions, interactions with a group of peers, interactions with a gr...

The objective of this paper is to present formation control laws for maintaining the relative attitude between a formation of free ying spacecraft in deep space. The paper presents two control strategies based on leader-following and emergent behavior approaches. The leader-following control has appeared elsewhere and is included for completeness. The main contribution of this paper is a new em...

This paper examines the relationship between such behaviors as the leader's consideration and structurine and two key variables of the Continpencv Model. The variables, the Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) score and the "favorabieness" of the leadership situation, interact in a highly consistent manner in affecting these leader behaviors. The evidence that leader behavior depends, in large part, ...

As leader creativity is found to be effective at promoting outcomes for organizations, more and more organizations select creative individuals as leaders. However, the influence of leader creativity has not received enough attention. Thus, this research seeks to focus on the potential influences of leader creativity in organizations. Based on social cognitive theory, we explore the relationship...
