مستخلص: Opening and closing behaviors, the interaction of which is used to measure Ambidextrous Leadership (AL), have received considerable amount of interest and empirical testing over the last years. Despite this investment, however, the field is still in need for further investigations of AL in multiple ways which we aim to address in our research with two different studies. The first study enabled us to resolve an issue that has been long-standing in the literature. Specifically, with 5 sequential sub-studies, we developed and validated a scale to measure opening and closing behaviors. Our second study including 76 leader-subordinate dyads working in innovation contexts aided us in addressing some of the propositions made on AL in the literature. We found that, contrary to the expectations, unbalanced profiles where opening behaviors were predominantly adopted by leaders more strongly predicted followers' innovative workplace behaviors (IWB). Furthermore, the same study yielded that although high levels of self-monitoring, cognitive complexity and future orientation are possessed by innovation leaders, the former two were found to be the main enablers to become ambidextrous and to balance opening and closing at high levels. Our results extend the current AL theory in several ways and have practical implications for managers and organizations, which we discuss at the end of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
