The Interaction of Job-Related Variables with Leader Dimensions in Air Force System Program Offices.

摘要

Consideration and initiating structure are two dimensions of leader behavior identified by Ohio State studies. Other studies have suggested that certain job-related variables may interact with consideration and initiating structure in the job environment. This research effort proposed a relationship between each of the two leader dimensions and the variables of phase of weapons acquisition life cycle, job satisfaction, organizational climate, tenure, assignment status, military/civilian status, leader grade, hierarchical level, and organizational size. The sample consisted of Air Force System Program Office managers located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and the data were obtained from questionnaire responses gathered by three previous thesis teams.
