Abstract
While the autonomy of research professionals isconsidered a crucial condition for the quality oftheir findings, leadership of research is also seennecessary for the efficiency and quality ofresearch work in research teams. Leadership maybe effective in terms of knowledge creation, butthis area is poorly understood. This articleanalyses the nature of commitment to conceptsas part of the effect of transformationalleadership on research work within a group. Theconclusion is that leadership is an integral part ofknowledge creation, not just of knowledgesharing and exploitation. Effective leadershipresults in the mixture of epistemic and socialcommitments that makes a group a collectiveknower, not just a sum of individual knowers.The analysis of conceptual commitmentscontributes to understanding the rejectionist/believer debate of social epistemology in a newlight.
