Factor structure of the transformational leadership model in human service teams

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the transformational leadership model in human service teams. As the nature of this work environment mandates certain management-by-exception practices, patterns of correlations between perceptions of active and passive management-by-exception behaviors and transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership were of interest. 236 leaders and 620 subordinates from 54 mental health teams completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, form 8Y. Results suggest that active and passive management-by-exception factors are independent constructs.
