Abstract
The moderating effects of attitudes about the work group and task structure on the relationships between leader behavior dimensions and job satisfaction facets were explored. The results indicated that this variable was an important added moderator of leader behavior dimensions. The significant main effects and interaction effects found reaffirmed the complexity of the leadership role for practicing managers.Keywords
