Identifying Leader Social Cognitions: Integrating the Causal Reasoning Perspective into Social Cognitive Theory

University of Houston - Clear Lake, Houston, TX

In this paper we propose a leadership model that combines Bandura's (1997) social cognitive theory with the causal reasoning perspective (Martinko, 2002). The model suggests that leader causal reasoning processes affect leader perceptions of goals, self-efficacy, and leadership task schema that, in turn, affect the leader's selection of strategies and enactment of behaviors. Each leader social cognition is conceptually defined and developed. Particular emphasis is given to describing how the understanding of attributional explanations, dimensions, and biases can aid in the description of the causal reasoning processes that precede self-and member-regulation.
