This document discusses a study that examines transformational and transactional leadership styles in martial arts coaches. The study tested the validity of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X) in assessing leadership behaviors of 186 martial arts students' perceptions of their coaches. The results supported a nine-factor structure of the MLQ-5X, including scales for transformational, transactional, and non-leadership behaviors. While transactional leadership predicted leader effectiveness, transformational leadership explained additional variance and provided unique predictive ability beyond transactional leadership alone. This lends further support to the idea that transformational leadership has an "augmentation effect" in predicting leader effectiveness. The results provide insight into assessing distinct leadership styles of coaches
Analyzing Correlation of Leadership Style with Organizational Maturity a Mili...inventionjournals
Management and leadership are the pillars of every organization and society. Advancement of technology, complexity and size of today’s organizations, and organizations’ continuous effort to gradually evolve their processes and achieve organizational maturity to gain competitive advantage and greater sustainability have highlighted the role of organizational leadership more than ever. Conducted in 2016, the present research is an attempt to determine the Correlation between Leadership Style and Organizational Maturity in a Military Organization .This research is an applied study in terms of objective, and a descriptivesurvey study with respect to data collection method. The statistical population included 150 personnel of a military organization. The data is collected using two questionnaires: the leadership style questionnaire and the organizational maturity questionnaire. The questionnaire's reliability is 0.98 using the Cronbach’s alpha for all dimensions of the questionnaire. A construct validity assessment is conducted to calculate the questionnaire’s validity, and results reflected validity of the research instrument (AVE>0.5). Data analysis is carried out through structural equations modeling in Smart PLS. Results revealed that the variance and path coefficients have significantly adequate values. Findings were also reflective of a significant Correlation between leadership style and organizational maturity of employees. However, a significant negative Correlation is observed between organization’s leadership goal setting and organizational maturity on the one hand, and leadership style and organizational maturity on the other. As a result, the research hypotheses were rejected. In addition, there is no Correlation between organizational maturity and leadership style, and thus the related hypothesis is rejected in studied organization.
This study seeks to examine the impact of leadership traits on public organizational performance.
The views presented by scholars and practitioners in the social sciences argued that there is no relationship
between transformational leadership traits and organizational performance in the public sector organizations.
The study used correlation and regression analysis to identify the gap that exist within the variables under
investigation

Organizational Behavior: A Study on Managers, Employees, and TeamsMuhammad Tawakal Shah
In recent decades, there has been a tremendous shift in the structure and operation of organizations.
Advancements in technology and skill diversity have fostered a modern workplace of skill and workflow
interdependencies. Hence, for success in today’s business world, it is imperative for organizations to
understand the forces that impact team outcomes. This study on 100 managers from the same organization
shows that female managers have higher communication skills when compared to male managers,
but are also more influenced by group think. A total of 200 employees from this organization were also
studied and the results show that female employees contribute to team outcomes more than male
employees. Implications for researchers, managers, and human resource professionals are considered.
Theoretically, it is important to understand how and why teamwork affects people’s success in the
workplace. Practically, it is important for managers to know whether teamwork affects performance
because it proxies cohesiveness and synergy. The study presented in this article clearly suggests that
teamwork affects people’s careers and workplace interactions and therefore is worthy of continued
scholarly investigation.

This study was to investigate the relationship
between leadership style and followers performance in the
bottle water companies in port Harcourt. In this study, we
have two variables leadership style as the independent
variable and followers performances as the dependent
variable, the methodology adopted were descriptive
research design to collect both primary and secondary data.
The population of this study consists of 100 (one hundred)
employees in the selected bottle water companies in Port
Harcourt. The instrument used for data collection was a
questionnaire in four point likert scale. 100 copies of
questionnaire were distributed to employees of selected
bottle water companies in Port Harcourt which 90 was
retrieved for the analysis. From the above it was discovered
that leadership styles have a positive impact on the
followers, but each have to be used strategically in different
environment in other to maximize employees performance.
It was recommended that organizations should empower
and motivate employees since this will ensure total loyalty
and increase their retention and productivity to the
organization.

Abstract: This research investigated that do management styles have any significant effect over employee performance with HR being an intervening variable, a trend setter or culture molder in the organization and judging its impact over employee performance of Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) limited, which is an organization with diversified backgrounds and cultures of working people having different norms and values. Keeping the problem statement in the mind four hypotheses were proposed including autocratic and MBWA management styles. Culture has significant effect over employee performance with respect to autocratic and MBWA management styles. There is significant difference between employee perceived performance and HRIS employee performance record. The target population with sample size of 158 E-grade officer as respondents were provided questionnaire. Tests of Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Paired Sample T-test showed that two of proposed hypotheses were accepted and two were rejected. Hence, autocratic management styles do affect employee performance while management has to work hard to establish a good governing norms and values. This helpsto mold its new management styles and culture and set new image of the organization and generate productive results.

Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

For the West Coast Transit marketing team were made and now your job is to present
the recommendation to your director. Surprisingly though, a directive is issued
informing management that only four people will be able to staff the team, which will of
course increase the pressure finalizing the selection.
Consider the vision for a successful West Coast Transit marketing team composed in
Topic 3. Narrow down the team selection to four individuals for presentation to the
director. Decide which strategies will be most effective for leading the agreed-upon
team. Compose a PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides) with a justification for the team
selection and summary of the decision-making process that addresses the following:
1. Who are the four team members, and what was the primary reason each person
was selected?
2. What are the primary strengths of the team? What are its potential weaknesses?
How positive is the management team about the team's potential? Justify your
answers with evidence from "West Coast Transit Team Member Profiles."
3. What strategies will be most effective for motivating the team, managing
conflict, and ensuring its success? Cite specific motivational theories, conflict-
resolution strategies, and leadership strategies in your answer.
4. How difficult was it to come to a decision regarding team selection? Which
potential team member was most difficult to come to a consensus about? Why?
5. Justify how the selected team embodies the values of Conscious Capitalism how
the tenet of stakeholder orientation played a role in the team selection process.
6. Describe how value is created for each stakeholder, and in what ways will the
team positively impact the business as a whole?
7.
You are required to use at least three academic references to support your reasoning for
the team selection process.

The Efficacy of Executive Coaching in
Times of Organisational Change

ABSTRACT Executive coaching is often used in times of organisational change to help executives
develop the psychological and behavioural skills needed to focus on reaching their work-related
goals whilst simultaneously dealing with the turbulence associated with organisational change.
Despite its widespread use, little research has explored the impact of executive coaching during
periods of organisational change. This within-subject study used both quantitative and qualitative
measures to explore the impact of executive coaching during a period of organisational change
on 31 executives and managers from a global engineering consulting organisation. Participation
in the coaching was associated with increased goal attainment, enhanced solution-focused
thinking, a greater ability to deal with change, increased leadership self-efficacy and resilience,
and decrease in depression. The positive impact of coaching generalised to non-work areas such
as family life. Recommendations are made for the measurement and design of executive coaching
programmes.
KEY WORDS: Executive coaching, organisational change, leadership self-efficacy, solution-
focused thinking
Introduction
Organisational turbulence has increasingly become part of the everyday experi-
ence in organisations in the contemporary Western commercial world. Organis-
ational turbulence is defined as nontrivial, rapid, and discontinuous change in
an organisation, brought about by events such as restructurings, downsizings,
sales, and spin-offs of assets and acquisitions, the effects of which are often
experienced as disconcerting (Cameron et al., 1987).

Whereas in the last century organisational change tended to be part of desig-

(Gaughan, 2010), since 2000 the rate and unpredictability of organisational
change appear to have escalated, resulting in greater demands and stresses
being placed on managers and executives (Sablonnière et al., 2012). Such econ-
omic uncertainty and organisational turbulence have been particularly evident
since the 2007 Global Financial Crisis.

Abstract A new research area linked to ethics, virtues,
and morality is servant leadership. Scholars are currently
seeking publication outlets as critics debate whether this
new leadership theory is significantly distinct, viable, and
valuable for organizational success. The aim of this study
was to identify empirical studies that explored servant
leadership theory by engaging a sample population in order
to assess and synthesize the mechanisms, outcomes, and
impacts of servant leadership. Thus, we sought to provide
an evidence-informed answer to how does servant leader-
ship work, and how can we apply it? We conducted a sys-
tematic literature review (SLR), a methodology adopted
from the medical sciences to synthesize research in a sys-
tematic, transparent, and reproducible manner. A disci-
plined screening process resulted in a final sample
population of 39 appropriate studies. The synthesis of these
empirical studies revealed: (a) there is no consensus on the
definition of servant leadership; (b) servant leadership
theory is being investigated across a variety of contexts,
cultures, and themes; (c) researchers are using multiple
measures to explore servant leadership; and (d) servant
leadership is a viable leadership theory that helps organi-
zations and improves the well-being of followers. This
study contributes to the development of servant leadership
theory and practice. In addition, this study contributes to the
methodology for conducting SLRs in the field of manage-
ment, highlighting an effective method for mapping out
thematically, and viewing holistically, new research topics.
We conclude by offering suggestions for future research.

Introduction
Leadership is one of the most comprehensively researched
social influence processes in the behavioral sciences. This is
because the success of all economic, political, and organi-
zational systems depends on the effective and efficient
guidance of the leaders of these systems (Barrow 1977). A
critical factor to understanding the success of an organiza-
tion, then, is to study its leaders. Leadership is a skill used to
influence followers in an organization to work enthusiasti-
cally towards goals specifically identified for the common
good (Barrow 1977; Cyert 2006; Plsek and Wilson 2001).
Great leaders create a vision for an organization, articulate
the vision to the followers, build a shared vision, craft a path
to achieve the vision, and guide their organizations into new
directions (Banutu-Gomez and Banutu-Gomez 2007; Kotter
2001). According to Schneider (1987), the most important
part in build.

Abstract
The research study will focus on the role of strategic management traits on employee performance, motivation, and job satisfaction. A literature review shows that strategic management style affects employees' performance, determination, and job satisfaction. Pioneer scholars have extensively researched strategic management styles though there is limited literature on the impacts of management traits. The purpose of the study is to illustrate the need for new management approaches in organizational management by comparing the varying effects of management and leadership traits on performance, motivation, and job satisfaction. The existing management styles have weaknesses necessitating the need for more advanced approaches that can address these limitations. The study looks at different management traits to blend them to meet employees' needs and organizations' objectives. The researchers will use a situational strategic management theoretical framework to venture into the study. The framework recognizes the need for leadership adaptability based on situations. Stakeholders will use the findings to strengthen organizational management. In this study, researchers are using management, as well as leadership in other areas.

Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

Leadership is one of the most discussed topics in management. Everyone has a couple of points to illustrate and a type to support. Here is a comparison between a few leadership models.
ABSTRACT: Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibition (MICE) are considered that they are not able to give the best performance yet, where the tends to upset the society. Furthermore, the perpetrators of several cases cannot be revealed yet. This study are to measure and analyze the extent to which the MICE organizations performance are influenced by leadership style, organizational culture, and job satisfaction. Study used a quantitative approach with path analysis as its method where 166 MICE CEO were used as its samples. The research findings show that Leadership style significantly affected towards the job satisfaction, but insignificantly affected the organizational performance. Organizational culture significantly affected job satisfaction, but insignificantly affected the organizational performance. Job satisfaction worked as a mediator of the effect between the relationships of leadership styleon organizational performance, and between the relationships of organization cultur to organizational performance.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Chelladurai, 1990; Horn, 2002, for reviews). However, several other possible leadership styles
may have been untapped by research (Horn, 2002). More specifically, while transformational
and transactional leadership styles have been explored in various settings, their application to
the field of sports has been very limited (Yukl, 2002). As a consequence, the present study
explores these leadership styles within the domain of sports. First, the theory of transforma-
tional and transactional leadership is described. Next, its relevance for the field of sports is
discussed. Central to this point is the question how specific leadership styles help coaches to
boost athletes’ motivation, satisfaction, and, ultimately, performances. Finally, empirical data
are presented that demonstrate the range and effectiveness of coaches’ transformational and
transactional leadership styles.
The Transformational–Transactional Leadership Paradigm
Burns (1978) first drew a distinction between transactional and transformational leader-
ship. Within transactional leadership, leaders clearly outline tasks and how they should be
performed. Followers agree to complete the assignments in exchange for commensurate ma-
terial or psychological compensation (e.g., recognition, awards). After outlining tasks and
rewards, the leader passively monitors how the task is performed by the subordinates. In con-
trast, transformational leaders have the ability to inspire followers to go beyond expected levels
of commitment and contribution. This inspirational process relies on emphasizing task-related
values and a strong commitment to a mission. Mission statements communicate the transfor-
mational leader’s long-term vision which is rooted in common-shared values. Ultimately, the
formulation, communication, and representation of a long-term vision transforms followers’
attitudes. Moreover, followers are motivated to look beyond their own interests toward those
that will benefit the group. Another mechanism of transformational leadership is that followers
are stimulated to view their tasks or challenges from new perspectives (Bass, 1985).
Over the last 20 years, Bass and his colleagues (Bass, 1985, 1999; Bass & Avolio, 2000)
have made considerable efforts to define and assess the aspects of transactional and transfor-
mational leadership. In order to develop a full range of leadership behaviors, several aspects
of transformational and transactional leadership were included in the standard instrument for
measurement of transformational leadership, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-
5X; Bass & Avolio, 2000). In its current form, the full range leadership theory represents
nine leadership factors comprised of five transformational leadership factors, three transac-
tional leadership factors, and one nonleadership or laissez-faire leadership factor (Antonakis,
Avolio, & Sivasubramaniam, 2003; Avolio & Bass, 2004; Bass & Avolio, 2000). What follows
is a brief description of these factors.
The first transformational scale is called Inspirational Motivation. Central to this subscale
of transformational leadership is the articulation and representation of a vision. Consequently,
being encouraged to view the future with a positive attitude, followers are motivated. Idealized
Influence-Attributed refers to the attribution of the leader’s charisma. Because of the leader’s
positive attributes (e.g., perceived power, focusing on higher-order ideals, values), followers
develop close emotional ties to the leader. Trust and confidence are likely to be built in the
followers. Idealized Influence-Behavior emphasizes a collective sense of mission and values,
as well as acting upon these values. Next, Intellectual Stimulation includes challenging the
assumptions of followers’ beliefs, their analysis of problems, and solutions they generate to
solve these problems. Individualized Consideration is defined as considering the followers’
individual needs and developing their individual strengths.
As for the transactional leadership scales, Contingent Reward is a leadership behavior where
the leader focuses on clearly defined tasks, while providing followers with rewards (material

or psychological) for the fulfillment of these tasks. In Active Management-by-Exception, the
leader watches and actively searches for deviations from rules and standards in order to avoid
these deviations; if necessary, corrective actions are taken. In contrast, in Management-by-
Exception Passive intervention only occurs after errors have been detected or if standards have
not been met. An even more passive approach is Laissez-Faire, which is basically defined as
the absence of leadership. As such, laissez-faire is considered as a nonleadership behavior
contrasting the more active forms of transformational and transactional leadership.
Empirical research underlines the importance of assessing a broad range of different and
distinct aspects of leaders’ behaviors in order to analyze the differences between effective
and ineffective leaders in greater detail (Avolio, 1999) and to identify the key components
of successful leadership behavior (Avolio & Bass, 2002; Lowe, Kroeck & Sivasubramaniam,
1996). The MLQ-5X is a valid instrument for assessing several distinct aspects of leadership
and represents the instrument of choice for testing hypotheses concerning a range of leadership
styles, as well as for development and feedback purposes (Antonakis & House, 2002).
Effects of Transformational Leadership
The relevance of transformational and transactional leadership becomes apparent when
empirical results focusing on the relationships between transformational and transactional
leadership styles, respectively, and organizational outcomes are considered. For example, in
a meta-analysis by Lowe et al. (1996), transformational leadership was found to predict both
subjective (e.g., followers’ satisfaction) and objective (e.g., profit) indicators of leaders’ effec-
tiveness across a wide range of organizational settings. In contrast, these relationships were
typically weak and insignificant for transactional leadership. Laissez-Faire showed negative
relationships to outcome criteria.
The positive impact of transformational leadership on various facets of performance and
on followers’ satisfaction augments the impact of transactional leadership (Bass, 1985). In sta-
tistical terms, transformational leadership adds unique variance beyond that of transactional
leadership for predicting outcome criteria. This augmentation effect has been confirmed in
various settings (Bycio, Hackett, & Allen, 1995; Hater & Bass, 1988; Waldman, Bass, &
Yammarino, 1990) and is the key component of the external validity of transformational lead-
ership. The augmentation effect is tested by applying hierarchical regression analysis. First,
the impact of transactional and nonleadership scales on the dependent measure is tested. In a
second step, the transformational leadership scales are included in the regression equation. The
augmentation effect is confirmed if the transformational leadership scales explain additional
variance in the outcome measure (Waldman et al., 1990).
Transformational Leadership in Sports
Summarizing the literature, Bass (1997) claimed that transformational leadership represents
a universal phenomenon. For example, transformational leadership has been proven to have a
positive impact on organizational performance and followers’ satisfaction in a wide range of
different organizations such as profit- and nonprofit organizations (Fuller, Patterson, Hester,
& Stringer, 1996; Lowe et al., 1996), in educational contexts (Harvey, Royal, & Stout, 2003),
the church (Druskat, 1994), the military (Bass, 1998), and sports management (Davis, 2002;
Ristow, Amos, & Staude, 1999).
In addition, it is important to study the transformational leadership of sport coaches, for
three main reasons. First, as was described above, transformational leadership has been proven
valid for our comprehension of leadership in a wide range of organizations. Second, as trans-
formational leadership has been found to be closely associated with outcome criteria such as
Downloadedby[BahriaUniversity]at02:2706January2016
5. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP 315
followers’ performance and motivation, it seems valuable to learn more about the effects of
this approach to leadership in the sports domain. Third, especially the augmentation effect
seems to be particularly promising in order to learn more about effective leadership strategies
for sport coaches (Lim & Cromartie, 2001). Taken together, transformational leadership is a
useful approach to study sport coaches’ leadership behaviors, as has been suggested by Jones
(2002) and other researchers (Hsu, Bell, & Cheng, 2002; Lim & Cromartie, 2001; Weese,
1994). While these scholars examined the subject of transformational leadership theoretically,
empirical studies are rare.
To our knowledge, only two empirical studies using transformational leadership to describe
sport coaches’ leadership behaviors were conducted. First, using a developmental approach,
Zacharatos, Barling, and Kelloway (2000) examined the impact of adolescents’ leadership
styles on subjective performance measures within team sports. Adolescents who employed
transformational leadership were rated as more effective, satisfying, and effort-evoking by
their peers and coaches. However, this empirical investigation combined several aspects of
transformational leadership into one single scale of transformational leadership, limiting the
results. Moreover, the mean age (15.2 years) of the participants further limits the results.
Second, Charbonneau, Barling, and Kelloway (2001) reported a model of sports perfor-
mance of university athletes. Students’ intrinsic motivation moderated the relationship between
coaches’ transformational leadership and students’ sports performances. As in the Zacharatos
et al. (2000) study, the age of participants was young, ranging between 17 and 22 years. The re-
sults were further limited because of the use of a single, combined measure of transformational
leadership. Subscales of transformational leadership, as well as transactional leadership, were
omitted from analyses. Given the high impact transformational leadership has on important
outcomes such as performance and followers’ satisfaction, the limited number of empirical
research studies is surprising.
Effective Leadership in Recreational Sports
In this section, we will deal with the explication of performance measures of effective sport
coaches. The present study examined sport coaches’ leadership behaviors in recreational sports.
It has been stated elsewhere (Hawkins & Tolzin, 2002) that sport is an example of postmodern
organizations.Thisistrueforrecreationalsports,too(Mathews,1987).Duetoreducedfinancial
support from governmental agencies and dynamic situational contingencies, sport coaches have
to stay flexible in order to lead successfully (Lim & Cromartie, 2001; Stobart & Johnson, 1991).
In this regard, they face the same challenges as leaders in other nonprofit organizations (Egri &
Herman, 2000). In accordance to Zacharatos et al. (2000), several distinct and representational
components of leaders’ effectiveness in recreational sports are defined. First, leaders have to
be effective in meeting organizational requirements (e.g., administration, supplies). Second,
leaders have to ensure a high degree of members’ satisfaction. Third, especially in recreational
sports which include competition, coaches help members to develop their physical and mental
abilities and to continuously expand their performance efforts. The last two components of
effective leadership will result in satisfied members who experience a higher degree of quality
of life (due to continuous development of physical capacities). This, in turn, will extend
members’ tenures, which is important for the survival of recreational sport clubs (Mathews,
1987). Fourth, the frequency of members’ attendance at training sessions per month is defined
as an indicator of their effort and their high commitment to their respective sport (Stobart
& Johnson, 1991). In combination, these four components defined coaching effectiveness for
the purpose of the present study. It is acknowledged, however, that other components—which

6. 316 J. ROWOLD
were beyond the scope of the present study—are important for our comprehension of effective
coaching, too (for a review of this issue, cf. Horn, 2002).
Theory suggests that these performance measures are influenced not only by sport coaches’
behaviors, but also by a number of additional variables. Most notably, coaches’ and athletes’
demographic characteristics such as age and gender should be taken into account. For example,
in Smoll and Smith’s (1989) cognitive-mediational model, these variables were discussed
in regards to their relevance for explaining athletes’ evaluative reactions to their coaches’
behaviors. In addition, Magill (1994) provided empirical evidence that the effectiveness of
coaches’ behaviors varied as a function of athletes’ skill levels. More specifically, experienced
athletes needed different kinds of feedback than novice athletes.
It is reasonable to assume that not only athletes’, but also coaches’, skill levels have an
effect on the evaluation of coaches’ leadership behaviors. More experienced coaches might
possess more positive attributes. In addition, behaviors exerted by more experienced coaches
might be more credible and more valuable to the athletes and thus have a stronger positive
impact on the evaluation of leadership behavior. In sum, while coaches’ leadership behaviors
are important for the explanation of the performance measures discussed above, these control
variables should be taken into account (Horn, 2002).
STUDY GOALS
The present study aimed at extending previous research in two ways. First, it tested if sport
coaches’ behaviors can be described by nine transformational, transactional, and nonleadership
scales (Antonakis et al., 2003). Thus, the complete set of MLQ-5X items was implemented
in a set of sport organizations. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine whether
the nine-factor model of the MLQ-5X provided an adequate fit to sport coaches’ leadership
behaviors.
Second, this study tested which leadership styles are related to four criteria of coaching
effectiveness. From the review of the literature discussed above it can be proposed that trans-
formational leadership styles are significantly and positively related to coaching effectiveness.
Regression analysis was used to test if the augmentation effect proved to be valid in the field
of sport coaches’ leadership. In the first step of the regression analysis, control variables (i.e.,
students’ and coaches’ demographic variables and skill levels) were included in the regression.
Next, transactional and nonleadership measures were included to test their effect on the re-
spective outcome measure. Finally, the augmenting effect of transformational leadership was
tested by including transformational leadership scales in the last step of the regression analy-
sis. Because transformational leadership scales were included in the last step of the regression
analysis, their influence on outcome criteria is tested in a rigorous way.
Providing future researchers with a broad range of leadership behavior descriptions for
feedback and training purposes, it was hoped that these two extensions to previous research
would yield a more complete, more valid, and more useful understanding of the leadership
process and its impact on effectiveness measures.
METHOD
The study focused on martial arts sport clubs (traditional karate) for three reasons. First,
within traditional karate, the leadership role is clearly defined and highly visible. The sport
coach (sensei) represents a role model and provides clearly defined examples of required
behavior to the students of martial arts (e.g., new physical capabilities like moves). In the
Downloadedby[BahriaUniversity]at02:2706January2016
7. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP 317
present study, the terms sensei and coach are used synonymously. Second, traditional karate
requires the student (karateka) to learn a variety of skills and knowledge from the coach. This
includes physical (Columbus & Rice, 1998), mental (Seitz, Olson, Locke, & Quam, 1990),
emotional (Layton, 1990), and philosophical (Sylvia & Pindur, 1978) skills and knowledge.
This provides a basis for a multilayered relationship between coach and student. Third, karate
organizations have a well-defined hierarchy, where students as well as coaches have highly
visible ranks. The rank is in turn related to the respective skill level: Novice students occupy
a lower rank, which is demonstrated by the color of their belt. The novice students advance
from white belt (which corresponds to their 9th grade or Kyu), to yellow (8th Kyu), orange (7th
Kyu), green (6th Kyu), blue (5th Kyu), and purple (4th Kyu) belt. Advanced students wear one
of three possible brown belts (3rd to 1st grade or Kyu, respectively). Masters of martial arts
are easy to recognize by their black belts (ranging from 1st black belt or Dan up to 9th black
belt). This strong prevalence of hierarchy pervades the organizational climate of karate sport
clubs and also each training session, which makes karate ideal to study leadership phenomena
(cf. Sylvia & Pindur, 1978).
Sample Description
Questionnaires were administered by a member of the research team to a random sample
of 200 students of martial arts who belonged to one of 20 martial arts sport clubs located
in a variety of cities in northern Germany. It was explained that the project was conducted
purely for research; anonymity was assured. This resulted in a 95% response rate; however,
after missing data were accounted for, a sample of 186 resulted.
Thirty-six percent of the participants were female and 64% were male; the mean age was
32 years (SD = 12 years). Twenty-two percent practiced martial arts for less than a year, 45%
practiced for 1–5 years, and 33% practiced between 5 and 10 years. Of these participants,
50% were advanced students (4th rank (Kyu) or higher). Participants provided demographic
information about their respective sport coaches. Twenty percent of the coaches were female
and 80% were male. Coaches’ ages were not known to more than 16% of the participants, so
this variable was dropped from the analysis. The coaches ranged from first black belt (1st Dan,
6%), 2nd Dan (21%), 3rd Dan (26%), and 4th Dan (30%) to fifth black belt (5th Dan, 17%).
Measures
Leadership Behaviors
To assess the coaches’ leadership behaviors, the MLQ-5X (Bass & Avolio, 2000) was used.
All of the MLQ-5X items were carefully translated from English to German by a professional
and then backtranslated by an English native speaker, both experts in the field of organizational
psychology (Brislin, 1980). The comparison of the two English translations yielded virtually
no differences. Next, the German items were slightly modified to reflect the students’ positions
in sports (Rowold, 2004).1
Students judged how often their respective coach displayed the
behavior identified. A five-point response scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly
agree) was utilized.

Dependent Measures
Four measures of coaching effectiveness were outlined in the introduction. Consequently,
this paragraph presents the rationale for the selection of four indicators. Like in the Zacharatos
et al. (2000) study, students were asked to rate the Effectiveness of coaches’ behaviors (EFF),
their Satisfaction (SAT) with their respective coach, and their Extra Effort (EEF). These 3-item
scales ranged from 1 (very low) to 5 (very high) and are part of the standardized MLQ-5X (Bass
& Avolio, 2000). Empirical research has provided consistent evidence for high validity and
reliability of these three dependent measures (Avolio & Bass, 2004). In addition, respondents
indicated their training effort, defined as the Frequency of Training per Month (FTM). The
scale ranged from one (up to two times a month) to five (more than eight times a month).
Finally, participants provided demographic information about themselves and their respective
coach.
Analysis
The first main objective of the present study was to test the factorial validity of the MLQ-5X
in the sports domain. While the nine-factor model of the MLQ-5X described above is the most
recent (Antonakis et al., 2003), other research has found support for varying models (Tejeda,
Scandura, & Pillai, 2001). Thus, the MLQ has been criticized for problems with its factorial
validity (Den Hartog & Van Muijen, 1997). In addition to the nine-factor model, a six-factor
model is well established (Bass, 1985; Bass & Avolio, 2000). It combines the first three factors
of transformational leadership (Inspirational Motivation, Idealized Influence-Attributed and
Idealized Influence-Behavior) into a single scale labeled Charisma. In addition, it combines
the scales of Management-by-Exception Passive and Laissez-Faire into a single scale labeled
Passive-Avoidant. The nine-factor and the six-factor model are the two most common models
for describing a full range of transformational, transactional, and nonleadership behaviors by
means of the MLQ-5X.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using LISREL 8 (J¨oreskog & S¨orbom, 1993) was used
to test the factorial validity of the MLQ-5X. This approach was chosen because it was sought
to confirm the superiority of one of two competing models, the six-factor vs. the nine-factor
model (Heck, 1998). In CFA, various fit indices may be used to evaluate whether a specified
model fits the empirical data (Kline, 1998). In the present study, the following indices were
computed. First, the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was used, which
takes sample size as well as the degrees of freedom into account. Values lower than .08 indicate
an adequate fit of the data (Browne & Cudeck, 1993). Second, the Comparative Fit Index (CFI)
as an approximate fit index was calculated (Bentler, 1990). Third, the Non-Normed Fit Index
(NNFI) was used in addition to the CFI. Given appropriate sample sizes, both the CFI and the
NNFI are valid for comparing different factorial models (Bollen, 1989; Byrne, 2001). If both
the CFI and the NNFI exceed values of .90, the data show an adequate fit to the respective
model (Bentler, 1990). Fourth, because it has been suggested that the Akaike Information
Criteria (AIC) is useful to compare the fit of two competing models (where models with a
lower AIC indicate a better fit to the data; Akaike, 1987; Kline, 1998), this index was included
in the analysis. Taken together, these four fit indices provide information in order to evaluate
competing first-order CFA models. In addition, the incremental chi-square (i.e., the likelihood
ratio test) was used to decide if one model fits the data significantly better than another model
(Hoyle, 1995).
Hierarchical regression analyses (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2002) were conducted
to test the augmentation hypotheses. Prior to analyses, examination of the data showed that

they upheld the assumptions for CFA and regression analysis (multicollinearity, normality; cf.
Bollen, 1989).
RESULTS
Confirmatory Factor Analyses were performed to test the factor structure of the MLQ-5X.
(Table 1). Although the fit indices of the nine-factor model were better, both the six-factor and
the nine-factor model indicated an adequate fit (i.e., the RMSEA was below .08 and the CFI and
NNFI were above .90; cf. Antonakis et al., 2003). However, both the AIC and the incremental
chi-square supported the nine-factor model (i.e., the AIC was lower for the nine-factor model
and the chi-square was significant). These results were in line with a recent large-scale analysis
of the factorial validity of the MLQ-5X (Antonakis et al., 2003). Consequently, the nine-factor
model of the MLQ-5X was used for further analysis.
Means, standard deviations, reliabilities, and intercorrelations among the measures are
displayed in Table 2. Reliabilities were within the acceptable range (.60 < α < .74). As the
scales analyzed included four or less items, α values higher than .60 are acceptable (cf. Cortina,
1993). However, because of the unsatisfactory internal consistency (α = .45) of Management-
by-Exception Passive, this scale was excluded from further analyses.
Consistent with previous literature (Bass, 1985; Bass & Avolio, 2000), Contingent Reward
was positively associated with transformational leadership scales. To a lower degree, Active
Management-by-Exception was also correlated to the transactional scales. However, Laissez-
Faire was negatively correlated with the transformational scales, providing limited support for
the divergent validity of the MLQ-5X. The high intercorrelations among the transformational
scales have been reported by other researchers (Tejeda et al., 2001; Vandenberghe, Stordeur, &
D’hoore, 2002). However, the intercorrelations in the present study (.38 < r < .63) were lower
than those reported in the MLQ-5X manual (.74 < r < .82; Bass & Avolio, 2000, p. 39), in
meta-analysis (.68 < r < .85; Lowe et al., 1996), or in empirical research (.84 < r < .93; Van-
denberghe et al., 2002). In sum, the relatively low intercorrelations among the transformational
scales of the MLQ-5X used in our study provided further evidence for the factorial validity of
the MLQ-5X (Antonakis et al., 2003). Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test
the augmentation hypotheses. For each dependent measure, the independent measures were
entered into the regression in three successive steps. First, demographic information and skill
level of both the students and the coaches were entered. It is important to note that it was
controlled for rank (i.e., the status of students’ belts). The rank is an indicator of students’ skill
levels. Second, transactional and nonleadership scales were entered into the regression. In the
third step, the transformational scales were included. For each step, the amount of variance
explained is reported, as is a test of significant change in variance explained between each step.

As can be seen in Table 3, for each dependent measure, demographic variables and transac-
tional leadership scales (as well as Laissez-Faire) each accounted for a significant amount of
variance. As predicted, the transformational scales added unique variance with the dependent
measures. The exception was the training effort of students (FTM), which could be predicted
by students’ ranks and one transformational leadership scale (Idealized Influence-Behavior).
However, the results generally supported the augmentation hypotheses.
A closer look at Table 3 revealed some patterns of relationship between certain leadership
scales and dependent measures. In sum, transactional and nonleadership scales were unre-
lated or negatively related to the dependent measures. In contrast, transformational leadership
scales were generally positively associated with measures of leaders’ effectiveness. Inspira-
tional Motivation, Idealized Influence-Attributed, and Individualized Consideration showed
the strongest impact on dependent measures. FTM was significantly predicted by Idealized
Influence-Behavior. In sum, the applied measures of leadership allowed for valid prediction
of leaders’ effectiveness, a fact which is highlighted by a relatively high amount of variance
explained.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the present study was twofold. First, it was tested if a broad range of transfor-
mational, transactional, and nonleadership behaviors were a valid description of sport coaches’
leadership behaviors. The results support the nine-factor model of leadership, as measured
by the MLQ-5X. In addition, this provides further support for the universality of the trans-
formational and transactional leadership paradigm. Second, it was tested if transformational

leadership scales accounted for unique variance in sport coaches’ leadership effectiveness
beyond that of transactional and nonleadership scales. While controlling for students’ and
coaches’ demographic variables and skill levels, this augmentation hypothesis was confirmed
for three of the four dependent measures.
Full Range
While the results support the nine-factor model of the MLQ-5X, they are preliminary.
They can be seen as a first insight into the variety of transformational, transactional and
nonleadership behaviors of sport coaches. In contrast to earlier studies (Charbonneau et al.,
2001; Zacharatos et al., 2000), subjects’ ages ranged from 13–70 years (M = 32; SD = 12),
providing a more representative sample. Further researchers can build upon these results by
assessing more distinct leadership styles simultaneously, yielding a more complete description
of leaders’ behaviors. This, in turn, may result in a more differentiated picture of leadership
processes within sports. Although the present study identifies a broad spectrum of leadership
styles, other leadership styles, which have been addressed by other scholars (Smoll & Smith,
1989; Chelladurai, 1990), may be important for our understanding of sport coaches’ leadership
behaviors. Far more research is needed before concluding that a “full range” of sport coaches’
leadership styles has been identified (Yukl, 1999).

It is interesting to speculate about the high intercorrelations between Active Management-
by-Exception and the transformational leadership scales. In sports and training session setting,
Active Management-by-Exception is quite elementary. The coach watches out for students’
mistakes and takes corrective actions to help them improve their physical abilities. Thus, Active
Management-by-Exception mirrors one of trainings’ main functions: to help students improve
by wielding out their mistakes. We propose that Active Management-by-Exception is an im-
portant leadership skill for sport coaches. Moreover, it might be seen as a prerequisite for
transformational leadership (Bass, 1985), because only coaches who detect students’ mistakes
are able to help them to correct these mistakes; while doing this, they interact with students
directly and, therefore, have a better chance to transform their values, as proposed in transfor-
mational leadership theory (Avolio & Bass, 2002). In sum, Active Management-by-Exception
is a valid description of sport coaches’ active behaviors within the training context. Trans-
formational sport coaches build on Active Management-by-Exception in order to add to their
transformational leadership influencing strategies (Bass, 1985).
Effectiveness
Regression analyses resulted in a pattern of relationships between coaches’ leadership
styles and effectiveness. The impact transactional and nonleadership scales had on leaders’
effectiveness was clearly augmented by the impact of transformational leadership behaviors.
Thus, the augmentation effect of transformational leadership was confirmed. These results are
in line with previous research (Lowe et al., 1996; Waldman et al., 1990).
These results, can help sport coaches to optimize their leadership role. A closer inspection
of Table 3 reveals that in the martial arts setting, Inspirational Motivation in particular as
well as Idealized Influence (attributed and behavior) are important for effective leadership.
Interestingly, these effects were observed while controlling for demographic variables as well
as students’ and coaches’ skill levels.
Limitations and Directions for Future Research
The present study is limited by several factors. First, the research study was implemented
within a single sport setting, i.e., martial arts. More samples in diverse sports are needed for
validation of the results. As the research design was cross-sectional, a longitudinal design
seems warranted to provide stronger support for causal linkages between leadership and ef-
fectiveness measures. The limited internal consistency of one of the transactional leadership
scales (Management-by-Exception Passive) demands further research, also in different sport
settings. At the same time, the factorial validity of the MLQ-5X (nine leadership scales) has
to be reconfirmed (Tejeda et al., 2001). Finally, the study relied on data from a single source
(students of martial arts). To avoid monomethod bias, diverse sources of both leadership and
performance data should be used in future research.
Given the high impact transformational leadership has on performance and followers’ sat-
isfaction, it would be interesting to know if and how it is possible to help coaches to expand
these leadership skills. Although studies in this area are rare, Barling, Weber, and Kelloway
(1996) provided evidence that transformational leadership skills can be trained. However, as
the sample in their study consisted of managers, further research should focus on evaluating
training of sport coaches’ leadership abilities.
Moreover, future research could also link coaches’ leadership behaviors to objective perfor-
mance measures such as students’ contest performances and students’ organizational tenures.
This idea may be very useful within the field of competitive sport. Our results, as well as
research within transformational leadership in general (Bass, 1998), suggest the idea that

13. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP 323
transformational leadership is likely to help sport coaches to lead in an effective, satisfying
way within competitive sports, too. However, empirical research which includes objective
performance measures is clearly needed.
As a conclusion, the results point to an interesting avenue of research. In contrast to trans-
actional and nonleadership behavior, sport coaches may benefit from transformational lead-
ership behavior. As several distinct outcomes of leaders’ behaviors are positively influenced
by transformational leadership behavior, this field of research is interesting for scientists and
practitioners alike.
