HET MANAGEN VAN DROMEN EN AMBITIES ; EEN PSYCHOLOGISCHE ANALYSE VAN VISIECOMMUNICATIE ( samenvatting )

FLAPTEKST :

the communication of inspiring visions is arguably the sine que non of change-oriented leadership ; visions are images of the future ; Vision Communication refers the expression of a vision with the aim of convincing others ( usually followers ) that the vision is valid ; despite the fact that the merits of Vison Communication are widely ackowledged , research in Vision Communication is scarce and unable to explain comprehensively how and when leaders are able to inspire followers through the communication of visions ; in this dissertation I set out to answer the question : ´ how can Vision Communication affect follower ( intrinsic ) motivation and subsequent behavior ?´ ; the key insight of this dissertation is that , if Vision Communication stilumates followers to create future images of themselves based on a vision ( so called possible selves ) , it may subsequently cause them to be more intrinsically motivated to make this vision reality ; in this dissertation I develop a theoretical framework for the role of possible selves of followers in visionary leadership ; furthermore , I present the results of several experimental studies in visionary leadership derived from this framework ; ultimately , I identify various ways in which leader Vision Communication might positively influence follower motivation
