LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS OF ... - Drake University

CEO mean scores were determined as noted in number one. The
mean scores of each RVS value item were calculated for each of
the quadrant variables listed in Table 1. A Pearson correlation
coefficient was calculated to determine the direction, strength and
value of the relationship between the three leadership style means
and the two collectivist (instrumental and terminal) value mean
scores.
3. Transformational leadership style positively relates to gender with
females being more transformational than males.
The same MLQ rater scores (N-290) were used to define the
transformational, transactional and passive-avoidant means for the

were performed to determine the difference between the genders
relative to the three leadership styles and the nine profile and three
outcome areas.

MLQ rater scores, as defined above, were correlated with

determine direction and degree of significance. Additionally, the
CEO's self-rated MLQ scores were compared to hours of
leadership training using the Pearson correlation coefficient to
