We developed a model predicting that leaders are most effective in stimulating follower cooperation when they consistently treat all group members in a fair manner and are prototypical (i.e., representative of the group's values and norms). In support of this idea, we consistently found that group members cooperated most when prototypical leaders treated themselves as well as their coworkers fairly across a laboratory experiment and 3 cross-sectional field studies. These findings highlight the important role of others' fairness experiences and perceptions in influencing one's own reactions and also the role of leaders as representing the group's values and norms. We discuss implications for fairness theory and the leader prototypicality literature.
我们提出了一个模型，预测当领导者始终以公平的方式对待所有团队成员并且具有代表性（即代表团队的价值观和规范）时，他们最能有效地激发追随者的合作。为了支持这一观点，我们在实验室实验和 3 项横截面现场研究中一致发现，当典型领导者公平对待自己和同事时，团队成员的合作程度最高。这些发现强调了他人公平体验和感知对影响自身反应的重要作用，以及领导者作为代表团队价值观和规范的作用。我们讨论了这些发现对公平理论和领导者典型性文献的意义。
