本研究欲透過批判與反思之觀點，檢現近十年來(1995~2004年)國內外餐旅學術期刊中，領導研究對於各種研究典範之應用與關注面向，冀能提供未來從事餐旅領導研究者一個新的思考空間。研究發現近十年來國內外餐旅領導研究的發展趨勢，呈現了理論觀點及研究方法日趨多元化的現象。本研究建議未來的研究者可運用更深層的質性研究法來瞭解餐旅領導的真實意義，或融入女性的觀點來解構深植於社會文化脈絡的價值觀與結構因素，以豐富餐旅領導研究的內涵。此外，我國將來在進行餐旅領導研究時，是否能夠適當擺脫純粹以他國理論為根基的概念、去除不加批判的套用他國理論的態度，而能夠實際紮根地發掘本土的及多元文化的個殊經驗，以採拮與互補量化與質性研究方法的優點。

This study reviewed the past decade academic leadership research in terms of research paradigm applications in the hospitality industry worldwide by critical and reflective views to offer different perspectives for future hospitality researchers. The findings of study showed that hospitality leadership research developed diversely both in theories and methodologies during the past ten years. This study suggested that qualitative research methods can be used to understand the deeper meanings of hospitality leadership, and the application of female perspectives can destruct traditional values and structures of social contexts regarding female leadership experiences, on the other hand, by ways of getting rid of purely adopt leadership theories from other countries without critical thinking, which can develop indigenous and multiple-cultural grounded theories, would complement and combine the advantages of quantitative and qualitative hospitality leadership researches.
