Abstract
Leader perfectionism is widely recognized as an important, yet profoundly underinvestigated, construct that lacks conceptual clarity and valid measurement. To address this lack, our research intends to develop a clear conceptualization and an integrative multidimensional measurement of leader perfectionism. We conducted two inductive studies, the focus group interview and the study using critical incident technique, to confirm our conceptualization and generate items and dimensionality of leader perfectionism. We finally define leader perfectionism as leaders’ dispositional desire for perfection from themselves and/or their employees, which is characterized by multiple cognition and behavioral characteristics. Moreover, we empirically developed a two-level multidimensional scale. The higher level contains two general dimensions of leader self-oriented perfectionism and leader subordinate-oriented perfectionism, under which the lower level is consisted of 15 subdimensions (8 for leader self-oriented perfectionism and 7 for leader subordinate-oriented perfectionism) to capture specific facets of leader perfectionism.
