Effectiveness correlates of transformational and transactional leadership: A meta-analytic review of the mlq literature
Summary (1 min read)
Summary
- Unlike other anglo-chinois European gardens of the same period, which typically included some exotic feature of chinoiserie, this imagined Chinese space was not hidden away as a feature to be happened upon and experienced through surprise and wonder.
- This cultural union takes on greater meaning if one considers that the world has been turned upside down and reordered by Russian space: the East is in the West, the West is in the East, but both come together in the tsarina’s Chinese Palace.
- J’en e sais point la langue russe; mais par la traduction que vous daignez m’envoyer, je vois qu’elle a des inversions et des tours qui manquent à la nôtre.

...To identify early articles that related transformational and transactional leadership to organizational criteria, we compiled a list of studies from the references included in two comprehensive meta-analytic reviews on the topic that were published in 1996 (Fuller et al., 1996; Lowe et al., 1996)....

Q2. What was the method used to correct for attenuation due to unreliability?
Since reliability data was not reported for every study on every scale, correction for attenuation due to unreliability was performed across all studies using an artifact distribution technique provided by Hunter and Schmidt (1990).
Q3. What is the role of the criterion in the relationship between MLQ scales?
Moderator analyses indicated that the type of criterion used to measure effectiveness is a powerful moderator of the relationship between MLQ scales and leader effectiveness.
Q4. What is the argument that the average validity coefficients are found in published sources?
For those research studies which reported both a measure of effectiveness from the perspective of the subordinate and an organizational measure of effectiveness, average validity coefficients were computed and used for these studies in subsequent analyses (cf. Gaugler et al., 1987; Hunter & Schmidt, 1990) except when testing the criterion hypotheses directly.
Q5. What is the definition of true transformational leadership?
true transformational leadership requires employee empowerment, not employee dependence, according to Bass' conceptualization.
Q6. What was the expected effect of Level of the Leader on work unit effectiveness?
In other words, it was expected that across studies, Level of the Leader would moderate the impact of transformational leadership on work unit effectiveness.
Q7. Why is transformational leadership more likely to emerge in private organizations?
To the extent that transformational leadership is more likely to emerge in private firms as compared to public organizations, it follows that one of the reasons that this occurs is because such transformation of workers is more important in private firms due to the greater impact on work unit effectiveness.
