When computers take the lead: The automation of leadership
作者：
Highlights：
• Computers start to take over leadership functions once performed by human leaders, e.g., assigning tasks to human workers.
• We argue that conceptual coverage falls short of this development and the implied profound change in hierarchy.
• We propose the paradigm of ‘computers as leaders’ and call for a respective scientific discourse.
• We propose and discuss a definition, a respective structural model, and evaluative criteria of computer-human leadership.
• We propose the Leadership-TAM, a theoretical model depicting how humans come to accept and follow a computer leader.
