Abstract:

Although the most used measure of transformational leadership, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), has been the subject of intense scrutiny among leadership scholars, little interest has been shown in analyzing the relationship between its underlying constructs and / or their measures. The present study identifies a formative factor structure for most MLQ first-order factors, replacing the usual reflective model. We demonstrate the value of this structure using data from two different samples. First, we applied the MLQ to a sample of 129 police officers from the Catalan Police workforce. Second, we ran an online survey with 300 US citizens. We argue that three second-order factors (transformational, transactional, and laissez faire) should be used as emergent aggregate multidimensional models to describe three different leadership styles, challenging the ubiquitous multidimensional latent models favored in the extant literature. We then propose that transformational/charismatic leadership should be treated as a multidimensional emergent profile model, replacing the leadership development order of precedence, which is dominant in modern leadership research.

Abstract:

Purpose An emphasis on school performance is not just a national issue, but must be examined within the global context. Successful leadership is ensured by school leaders’ compliance to a set of basic practices within particular school contexts. The impact of leadership styles on performance, the work environment and job satisfaction is emphasized, while the appropriate leadership style could make teachers more effective in terms of job productivity. The adoption of different leadership styles by school leaders shows positive results with regard to school effectiveness. The purpose of this paper is to describe school leadership styles and the influence the styles have on school performance. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach with a post-positive paradigm was followed. A systematic random sample of 72 secondary schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was selected. The Cronbach’s α coefficient, statistical significance (p-values) and effect size (d-values) were calculated, and a factor analysis was conducted. Findings The results show a difference between teachers and principals regarding the transformational leadership style. The principals in the high-performing schools were perceived as less passive-avoidant in practice than those in the low-performing schools. A principal manages and leads a school effectively by applying an appropriate leadership style. Research limitations/implications For future research, it will be advisable to make use of a mixed-method design. Although the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire addressed numerous aspects of leadership and leadership styles, the “voice” of the respondents lacked. Furthermore, more leadership styles could be investigated in different contexts. Practical implications A chosen principal leadership style is not necessarily the best style for this purpose. School principals and teachers interpret leadership styles differently. Communication is therefore important. Social implications The principal leadership style is not always necessarily the teachers’ and learners’ choice. It is important that schools keep up with a constantly changing world. Originality/value If school principals and teachers agree upon a specific leadership style, there may be better collaboration which enhances better academic performance as well as effectiveness regarding schools.

Abstract:

Relationships between motivation and transformational leadership were examined in this study. 56 leaders and 234 followers from a variety of organizations were sampled. Leaders were administered the Motivation Sources Inventory and the Job Choice Decision-making Exercise, while followers reported leaders' behaviors using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ–rater version). Scores on the Motivation Sources Inventory subscales subsequently correlated with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire subscales of inspirational motivation, idealized influence (behavior), and individualized consideration (range, r = .13 to .23). There were no significant correlations among any of the Job Choice Decision-making Exercise subscales with any of the variables measured.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to propose and examine a new leadership framework, the Team Leadership Model for Sport. Specifi cally, the aim was to examine a functional leadership paradigm in sport where full range of leadership behaviors by the coach and by the collective athletes infl uence team cohesion, and thereby increase the likelihood of team goal achievement. Data were utilized from 518 NCAA Division I-III athletes from 36 softball teams and 13 baseball teams. The participants completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Avolio & Bass, 2004), the Team Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Avolio & Bass, 1996), the Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron, Brawley, & Widmeyer, 1985), and the Team Outcome Questionnaire that was developed for this study. Structural equation modeling indicated that the original hypothesized model did not fi t the data, but an acceptable alternative model was established, which included transformational leadership and two transactional leadership variables infl uencing perceptions of cohesion. Transformational leadership had a signifi cant positive path to cohesion, which in turn had a signifi cant positive path to goal achievement. We discuss a potentially fruitful direction in the examination of team leadership, within which the fi rst step involves a closer examination of measurement of coach leadership, shared athlete leadership, and cohesion. Keywords: transformational, cohesion, shared leadership, baseball, softball

Abstract:

Research has suggested a relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction. This paper examines this relationship in the context of a developing country, viz., South Africa. The objective of the paper is to assess the relationship between the two variables as well as the influence of biographical variables on leadership style and job satisfaction. The survey was based on the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. The results suggest a significant correlation between the three leadership styles, viz., transformational leadership, transactional leadership and laissez-faire leadership, and job satisfaction. There were no significant differences between the biographical variables and the three leadership styles.

Abstract:

Employees have resigned from well-paid organization due to the leadership style of their managers. This study examined the effect of leadership style on employees’ satisfaction in selected small and medium scale enterprises in Delta State, Nigeria. Sixty copies of questionnaires were distributed of which fifty-one were returned and used for this analysis. This survey instrument was adapted from both the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) which measures transactional and transformational leadership style and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) which measures employee satisfaction. The study used STATA 13.0 statistical package. The results showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between employees’ satisfaction and leadership style when independent samples were treated separately (simple regression). However, when multiple regression models were applied, both results report positive relationship, but transactional leadership style now becomes statistically insignificant. It is recommended among other things that managing directors should select the right style of leadership that enhances their worker’s productivity and motivation.

The variety of tasks carried out by mayors and presidents of cities was the reason to use the multidimensional concept of leadership developed by Avolio and Bass. The purpose of this article is firstly identification of the leadership styles used by mayors from Wielkopolska and secondly the examination of the relationship between used style and positives outcomes. The research sample included 61 mayors and presidents from the Wielkopolska Province. To identify the elements of leadership styles a multi‑factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ‑5X) was used. The first research hypothesis saying that mayors more often use transactional than transformational style was confirmed. At the same time, the second hypothesis about a stronger relationship between transformational style and positives outcomes was not confirmed.

Abstract:

The purpose of the research is to investigate the relationship between the leadership and job engagement. The study is built on research activities and there are used both theoretical and empirical methods. Qualitative and quantitative methods in the form of questionnaires are used during the study. Transformational leadership is the independent variable in this study and the instrument used to measure leadership is the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1997). Questionnaire A Great Place To Work – What Makes Some Employers So Good And Most So Bad? (Bakingems & Kofmans, 2005) as an instrument has been used to explain what makes a company a good place to work and offers specific strategies for fostering a positive work environment and the instrument used to. The statistical programme used for the analyses and presentation of data in this research is the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. In conclusion: transformational leadership is more likely to increase the levels of job engagement as opposed to transactional leadership, the results from this study support interesting directions for future research.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relevance of “carrot and stick” (transactional) leadership style in predicting employees’ job satisfaction in a modern business organization. Design/methodology/approach The study was cross-sectional in nature and made use of structured questionnaire to collect data. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. In total, 215 questionnaires were returned by respondents out of the 220 administered. Taylor and Bowers (1974) overall job satisfaction questionnaire and Bass and Avolio (2004) multifactor leadership questionnaire, were used to measure job satisfaction (α=0.812) and transactional leadership style (α=0.761), respectively. Simple linear regression was also used to predict the relationship between the constructs. Findings Results indicated significant and positive relationship between managers transactional leadership style and employees overall job satisfaction (β=0.292, p<0.001). Moreover, contingent reward (β=0.313, p<0.001) and management by exception (active) (β=0.208, p<0.001) were, respectively, found to be statistically significant and positively related with job satisfaction. However, there was no significant relationship between management by exception (passive) and job satisfaction. Originality/value This study adds to research that transactional leadership is broadly ideal for employees of manufacturing firms in Ghana where tasks are routine, objectives are clearly stated and work outputs can easily be measured.

Abstract:

In the context of sustainable and durable development postulates, local leadership and rural governance is a matter of particular importance. As a local leader, the commune mayor should have a vision of the commune’s development and possess the ability to influence the citizens and involve them in the process of realizing that vision. Such a manner of governance is the essence of transformational leadership, which, according to the multifactor model developed by Bass and Avoilo, facilitates the achievement of positive organizational and social results. The authors’ research is an attempt to answer the question about the style of governance adopted by the political leaders of rural communes in Poland and its links with their engagement in social activation and the use of participatory tools. A survey was conducted on a sample of 49 commune mayors from the Greater Poland Province (43%) using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and a questionnaire about public participation developed by the authors. The results indicate that components of transactional leadership predominate among commune mayors from the Greater Poland Province. Transformational leadership, which is largely based on the leader’s charisma, is exhibited much less frequently. At the same time, the majority of commune mayors use only the most basic forms of participation, without going beyond the requirements specified in the provisions of the law. Those commune mayors who rely more strongly on transformational leadership more often use public participation techniques as well.

During previous research in this area different methodologies were used, but in recent decades one of the most prominent is MLQ questionnaire (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire - MLQ), which examines three styles of leadership: transformational, transactional and passive leadership. The paper analyses the predominating attitudes in this area, theoretical explanation of MLQ questionnaire components and empirical results of previous applications. Founded on the obtained theoretical basis, the paper suggests future research framework in order to examine implementation of certain leadership styles from the MLQ questionnaire depending on the business environment which can vary from stable to uncertain, as well as their relationship with the achieved level of firm innovativeness. Thus, the aim of this paper is to define research framework that will be applied in a future research on an adequate sample of medium and large companies on the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factor structure and the measurement invariance of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) across gender of K-12 school principals (n=6,317) in the USA. Design/methodology/approach Nine first-order factor models and four second-order factor models were tested using confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The results suggested that the nine-factor model provided the best fit for the data. Further examination revealed that most constructs lacked convergent validity and discriminant validity. Second-order factor models were tested and the hierarchical model with two higher order factors (i.e. transformational and transactional leadership) was deemed the best fit and it was then tested for measurement invariance between females and males. The measurement model was found to be invariant across gender. Findings suggested that female school principals demonstrated significantly greater transformational leadership behaviour, while male school principals demonstrated significantly greater transactional leadership behaviour. Originality/value This study addressed construct and factor issues previously associated with the MLQ in the measurement of transformational and transactional leadership among a variety of organizations. By using a sample of K-12 school principals across gender, this study has provided support that may ameliorate contextual doubts of transformational leadership behaviour when examining the relational aspects needed to improve schools.

Abstract:

This study established the relationship between transformational leadership and social responsibility practices in women’s organizations that produce special coffees in southern Colombia. To measure these variables using Likert scales, two questionnaires were applied: the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5X short version (MLQ-5X) to measure transformational leadership, and a tool developed by the researchers to measure social responsibility. Cronbach’s Alpha (α) values for the two variables showed excellent consistency (α = 0.95 and 0.90 for transformational leadership and social responsibility, respectively). For the analysis of the information, the structural equation model was used to validate the hypothesis using the SPSS AMOS software. The results indicate a significant and positive correlation between the transformational leadership practices and the perception of social responsibility, especially in the dimensions of idealized influence (behavior and attributed) and intellectual stimulation of transformational leadership, and in the dimensions of labor issues and social responsibility. These findings are consistent with existing literature, and complement aspects not addressed before (e.g. correlation between transformational leadership and social responsibility practices in women’s organizations) in the framework of gender in non-conventional organizations.

Abstract:

The present study was sought to examine the role of rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous decision styles in the prediction of transformational, transactional, and laissez faire leadership styles. Research questionnaire were Urdu-translated versions of General Decision styles Questionnaire (Scott & Bruce, 1995) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 2000). The sample of the current study consisted of 300 business managers from different regions of Pakistan. Purposive sampling was employed to collect the data. Multiple Regression analysis and Stepwise Regression analysis demonstrated impact of decision styles on leadership styles. Rational and intuitive decision style displayed positive effect and avoidant decision style displayed negative effect on transformational leadership style. Rational, intuitive, and dependent positively predicted transactional leadership style. Avoidant decision style displayed positive effect whereas rational and spontaneous decision style showed negative effect on laissez faire leadership style. The study shed light on the fact that the decisions of the leaders can be used as determining factors to assess their leadership in the business organizations.

Abstract:

Zusammenfassung. Vor dem Hintergrund des organisationalen Wandels und veränderter Anforderungen an Führungskräfte werden in der Führungsforschung seit Mitte der 80er Jahre verstärkt Ansätze der charismatischen beziehungsweise transformationalen Führung diskutiert und untersucht. Die meisten empirischen Befunde hierzu basieren auf Erhebungen, bei denen unterschiedliche Versionen des Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) eingesetzt wurden. In diesem Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse von Validierungsuntersuchungen zu einer deutschen, adaptierten Fassung der aktuellen Version 5 x Short des MLQ ( Bass & Avolio, 1995 ) berichtet. Überprüft wurden die psychometrischen Qualitäten sowie Fragen der Validität auf der Grundlage unterschiedlicher betrieblicher Stichproben mit über N = 3500 Befragten. Die gefundene Faktorenstruktur lässt sich im Rahmen des Gesamtmodells interpretieren, wobei die Anzahl der Faktoren etwas von der theoretisch postulierten Vorgabe abweicht. Insgesamt zeigt sich eine gute Konstruktvalidität. Weiterführend wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit sich deutsche und nordamerikanische Stichproben bei der Einschätzung ihrer Führungskräfte mit dem MLQ unterscheiden. Abschließend werden Ansatzpunkte für Modifikationen und Verbesserungen angegeben, die bei einer Weiterentwicklung des Instruments berücksichtigt werden sollten.

Abstract:

In contemporary business conditions there is a growing number of research and development (R&D) projects whose aims are different types of innovations. They represent the strength, while research and development project teams are "building blocks" of modern organizations. Leaders who have the clear vision, use intelectual stimulation, encourage team member's creativity and motivate them to think differently are adequate leaders to lead the research and development project team. Such are the characteristics of leaders who apply transformational style of leadership. Based on existing research it has been shown that transformational leadership dominantly influences project teams' innovativeness. The aim of this paper is to define the research framework that will be applied in future research, in which authors will examine the role of transformational leadership style in research and development project teams and the impact of this leadership style on project team innovativeness in organizations on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Based on presentations of the dominant attitudes and the existing relevant literature, research hypothesis are set. The questionnaires that will be used are the standardized MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) and project team's innovativeness questionnaire created by authors Lovelace, Shapiro, & Weingart.

Abstract:

Given rapid changes in the health care landscape, nurse leaders need to be equipped with effective leadership skills. Those who are aware of their styles of working and its impact on their employees could adopt a better leadership style. The study aim was to assess the leadership styles of nurse leaders, as perceived by their employees. The secondary objectives were to explore differences between self-ratings and others’ ratings of leadership styles, as well as correlation between perceived leadership styles and organisational outcomes. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among registered nurses from four inpatient wards in an acute tertiary hospital in Singapore. Respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire that consisted of demographic questions, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, as well as a Three-index item Questionnaire, to elicit turnover intention. A total of 111 completed surveys (37% response) were received. Overall, registered nurses reported that their nurse leaders exhibited both transformational and transactional leadership behaviours and, to a lesser extent, laissez-faire. Of interest was the finding that nurse leaders in this study tend to rate themselves higher than others rate them. The results implied a need to incorporate self-awareness elements in nursing leadership development programmes.

Abstract:

The significant impact of school principals’ transformational and transactional leadership styles on teachers’ job satisfaction has been documented in different settings of education. However, until now, limited research in this field has been conducted in the setting of high school education. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the influence of transformational and transactional leadership styles of principals on teachers’ job satisfaction. The present study utilised the multifactor leadership questionnaire and the Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire to collect data from 387 teachers in 24 high schools. The results of correlation coefficient analyses showed significantly positive effects of the transformational leadership and significantly negative effects of the transactional leadership on teachers’ job satisfaction. The results of multiple regression analyses also revealed that both principals’ leadership styles predicted teachers’ intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction. The findings of this study support an implementation of the transformational leadership style in the educational context to undertake necessary changes in leadership practices to improve teachers' job satisfaction. The study suggests that future studies should examine the impacts of these leadership styles on other teachers’ outcomes, such as self-efficacy, responsibility, turnover and retention.

Abstract:

Background/Aims In the complex healthcare industry, transformational leadership and emotional intelligence in managers can achieve better outcomes. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the interaction between these two features. This study explored the traits of transformational leadership among the nurse managers in Jordan, focusing on the trait of emotional intelligence in critically-selected demographics. Methods A descriptive correlational research design was conducted. A total of 57 nurse managers from an acute referral hospital in Jordan completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and the 30-item Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire to measure transformational leadership and emotional intelligence respectively. Demographic data were also collected on participants' age, gender, years of clinical experience and years of managerial experience. Results There was a strong direct relationship between transformational leadership style and emotional intelligence. Male nurses with more than 15 years of clinical experience showed more transformational leadership practices and the highest levels of emotional intelligence among this cohort. Conclusions Emotional intelligence is a vital component of effective transformational leadership, which promotes a healthy work environment and better healthcare outcomes.

Abstract:

Leadership provides a strategy to deal with intense competition and high customer expectations in the hotel industry. This paper analyses the ability of managers’ transformational and authentic leadership to predict customer satisfaction. A sample of 18,944 customers and managers of eight hotels in the Canary Islands was used for the analysis. The data were collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire-6s, the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire and ReviewPro management software. The data were analysed to confirm the ability of transformational and authentic leadership to predict overall customer satisfaction. The results indicate that the transformational subscales of idealised influence and intellectual stimulation and the authentic subscales of relational transparency and balanced processing predict overall customer satisfaction. However, there are discrepancies between the results for self-managed service departments and outsourced service departments. This study provides a novel approach to scientific research, building upon previous studies of the effectiveness of both types of leadership, especially in relation to their impact on guest satisfaction and differences between departments. The evidence provides insight into the leadership qualities that increase customer satisfaction, which is essential in the hotel industry.

In this study, classroom leadership styles of English language instructors were investigated within the Full Range Leadership (FRL) framework with the purpose of determining the relationship between instructors’ leadership styles and the outcomes of leader (the instructor in the classroom context) effectiveness, students’ extra effort and student satisfaction. Classroom Leadership Instrument, a modified version of Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, was administered to 300 students from English Language Teaching and English Language and Literature Departments at a Turkish state university. Research data were analyzed through inferential statistical tests and the results revealed that transformational leadership and active traits of transactional leadership significantly correlated with all three leadership outcomes. Consequently, the instructors with such leader characteristics appeared to be more effective teachers, whose students felt more satisfied with their teaching and displayed extra effort at a higher extent in the courses.

Abstract:

This study examines the effects of transformational leadership on subordinates’ extra effort in the unique case of the Swiss Armed Forces’ militia system. The transformational leadership style of 201 superiors who were perceived as outstanding was examined in a first study using the German version of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X). Relationships of transformational leadership with subordinates’ extra effort were found to be differentially moderated by “command structure” depending on whether the subordinates were militia personnel or military professionals. For military professionals, all components of transformational leadership on the part of lower-ranking superiors had a positive effect on subordinates’ extra effort. For militia personnel, only the interaction between “command structure” and idealized influence increased subordinates’ extra effort. A second study of 51 platoon leaders supported the augmentation effect postulated by transformational leadership theory.
