Abstract：Drawing on “reversing the lens” approach of followership and conservation of resources(COR) theory， and through a time-lagged questionnaire survey on a sample of leader-follower dyads, this study explores the double edged sword effect of positive followership characteristics(PFC) on followers’ work stress. The result shows that: ①PFC is positively related to leader support, which in turn reduces work stress experienced by followers; ②PFC also heightens overload imposed by supervisors, thus increasing work stress experienced by followers; ③self-serving leadership negatively moderates the positive relationship between PFC and leader support, and positively moderates the relationship between PFC and overload imposed by supervisors; ④when self-serving leadership is higher, the negative mediating effect of leader support is attenuated, and the positive mediating effect of overload imposed by supervisors is enhanced.
