Abstract
This study examined three constructs of followership in the workplace context. Adopting a qualitative design and a conceptual framework based on the theories of subject positioning and sense-making, we explored organizational actors’ underlying followership beliefs and meaning-making processes, and how they enact those beliefs and meanings in the context of follower-leader relationship.
