The aim of our study was to explore the followers' perspective and to scrutinize which leadership behaviors are perceived to be
relevant for the development of teamidentification from the followers' point of view. A possible gain thatwe expected fromour analysis
was the identification of leadership behaviors that had not been considered by extant research. Based on qualitative data frommembers
of seven teams in the context of UN peacebuilding operations, we inductively derived four aggregate leadership dimensions that
comprise a total of nine leadership behaviors: “providing guidance” (associated leadership behaviors: clarifying teamgoals, highlighting
team boundaries, directing members), “encouraging involvement” (listening to team, advocating for team), “role modeling” (leading
by example, addressing and motivating team), and “administering teamwork” (organizing meetings, facilitating information flow).
