hospital CEOs ranked significantly lower in transactional leadership<br />
means (2.10) than did CEOs in urban (2.64), rural (2.29) or critical access<br />
(2.43) hospitals. Table 23 provides information about the actual means,<br />
standard deviations, and standard error of measurement for the CEOs<br />
relative to hospital setting. The findings suggest that while CEOs with<br />
various levels of transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant<br />
leadership styles were found in all hospital settings, transactional<br />
leadership scores were found to be significantly lower and passive-<br />
avoidant scores significantly higher in rural referral hospitals than in other<br />
settings. It is difficult to extrapolate significant information from those<br />
findings considering the low number of rural referral respondents (N=2).<br />
