Morphology

followership = follower (transparent) = follow + er + ship

Derived from 'follower' + '-ship' to indicate a group or collective; this is a standard and transparent formation.

Etymology

Followership is made from follow ('to go after or support') and the ending -ship (as in membership or fellowship), which can name a group of people. So, followership can mean the group of people who support or follow someone.
