Relative to others outside of this study who completed the MLQ,<br />

hospital CEOs were rated at or above the 5oth percentile (Table 8) for<br />

transformational and transactional leadership behaviors in six out of seven<br />

profile areas when compared with 2080 other rated individuals (Bass &<br />

Avolio, 2000). Hospital CEOs were rated at or below the 5oth percentile for<br />

passive-avoidant leadership profile areas. These findings indicate that<br />

hospital CEOs had stronger profiles in transformational and transactional<br />

leadership behaviors when compares to a meta-analysis research<br />

population and that the hospital CEOs had less passive-avoidant<br />

behaviors when compared to that same group. Additionally, hospital<br />

extra effort (50th percentile), effectiveness (80th percentile) and satisfaction<br />

(60'~ percentile). These results place hospital CEO mean scores above
