Abstract
Relationships between leadership behavior for first‐ and second‐level managers and several measures of employee performance and satisfaction were investigated in a state school for the mentally retarded. Four leadership dimensions and a modified fifth dimension, all from the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire‐Form XII were used. Three of these measures were highly intercorrelated and were combined into a “Considerate Influence” dimension. This dimension was significantly related to a number of employee criteria at the first managerial level and about one‐fifth as many criteria at the second level. The other two leadership dimensions had very few significant relationships. Second‐level leadership in combination with first‐level leadership in a number of cases significantly increased relationships for Considerate Influence beyond separate treatment of first‐ and second‐level leadership, while such was not generally true for the other leadership dimensions.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
