Abstract: | <p>The purpose of this study was to confirm the factor structure of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) when used to measure leadership behaviours in self managed teams. Many leadership theorists argue that leadership plays a fundamental role in the success of teams. Research by Bern ard M. Bass and associates suggests that transformational versus transactional leadership results in positive outcomes for individuals, groups, as well as organizations. This study sought to assess whether Bass and Avolio's (1998) MLQ scale can be used to accurately measure transformational and transactional behaviours in a leaderless team setting. Results suggest the MLQ does not retain its factor structure in such a setting, thereby eliminating any practical use for the scale in that setting. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.</p> |
