Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present research examines linkages between leadership style of the reporting authority and its impact on the subordinate's level of behavioral competence. Research included two leadership styles, "transformational" characterized by inspiration, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration and charisma, and transactional leadership characterized by contingent reward and management-byexpectation, measured using adaptation of Bass' (1989). MLQ, a psychometric tool was developed to measure subordinates on 17 behavioral competencies. Data was collected at a mid-size public sector bank. Appropriate statistical analysis was computed and the results demonstrated relationship between the superiors' leadership on subordinates' certain behavioral competencies.
