Women And Transformational And Contingent Reward Leadership: A Multiple-Levels-Of-Analysis Perspective

A study provides a multiple-levels-of-analysis investigation of transformational and contingent reward leadership and outcomes involving female leaders. It tested multisource data from male and female salespersons and their female sales managers for individual-, dyad-, and group-level effects via within and between analysis (WABA). As hypothesized, the associations of interest were based on differences between dyads. Each female leader formed a unique relationship with each subordinate that was independent of their group membership.
