Despite significant scholarly attention and practical importance regarding who emerges as informal and formal leaders in organizations, an integrative framework of the leadership emergence literature remains elusive. The presence of such a framework proves integral for the advancement of work in this area due to the complexity of the field, coupled with its sprawling nature across multiple disciplines (e.g., management, communication, education, economics). Accordingly, in this review, we utilize a database of 270 primary studies to put forth a distal-proximal framework of leadership emergence. In particular, we systematically review past research to answer four questions: (1) what do we know about the phenomenon of leadership emergence itself, (2) what are the antecedents of leadership emergence, (3) what outcomes are associated with leader emergence, and (4) what are the boundary conditions of leadership emergence? By introducing a conceptual framework for informal and formal emergent leadership, we highlight areas of research maturity and nascency and offer several recommendations for future work in this domain. Altogether, we highlight broad theoretical implications for the leadership, teams, and individual differences literature-and elaborate upon several benefits that an integrated framework of emergent leadership provides for organizations.

尽管关于谁会在组织中成为非正式和正式领导者的问题已经引起了学术界的广泛关注和重视，但领导力涌现文献的综合框架仍然难以捉摸。由于该领域的复杂性，以及它横跨多个学科（如管理、沟通、教育、经济学）的广泛性质，这样的框架的存在对于该领域的工作进展至关重要。因此，在本次综述中，我们利用一个包含 270 篇原始研究的数据库，提出了领导力涌现的远-近框架。具体来说，我们系统地回顾了过去的研究，以回答四个问题：（1）我们对领导力涌现现象本身了解多少，（2）领导力涌现的前因是什么，（3）与领导涌现相关的结果是什么，以及（4）领导力涌现的边界条件是什么？通过引入一个非正式和正式的新兴领导力的概念框架，我们强调了研究成熟度和萌芽阶段的领域，并为该领域的未来工作提出了几项建议。总的来说，我们强调了领导力、团队和个体差异文献的广泛理论意义，并详细阐述了新兴领导力综合框架为组织提供的几个好处。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
