Abstract

Abstract. In two experiments, we tested differential effects of transformational, empowering, and task-oriented leader behavior on various aspects of team performance (quantity, quality, independence, subjective group performance) using three different tasks. In Experiment 1, 60 three-person teams completed a rank-order task and in Experiment 2, 54 three-person teams completed a construction and an information-search task. In both experiments, a videotaped team leader displayed transformational, empowering, or task-oriented leadership. Results suggested that leadership effectiveness may be a function of group outcome. Only for the tasks of Experiment 2 did transformational leadership result in superior outcomes, specifically regarding productivity and originality. Empowering leadership, in turn, yielded superior outcomes in terms of leader-independent thinking, while task-oriented leadership resulted in the highest subjective group performance ratings – except for the ranking task in which satisfaction ratings were highest for transformational leadership. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

一个最好的方法?领导行为和团队绩效的不同方面

摘要在两个实验中，我们使用三种不同的任务测试了变革型、授权型和任务导向型领导者行为对团队绩效(数量、质量、独立性、主观群体绩效)的不同影响。在实验1中，60个三人小组完成了一个排序任务;在实验2中，54个三人小组完成了一个构建任务和一个信息搜索任务。在这两个实验中，录像中的团队领导表现出变革型领导、授权型领导和任务导向型领导。结果表明，领导效能可能是团队结果的函数。只有在实验2的任务中，变革型领导才能产生卓越的结果，特别是在生产力和独创性方面。反过来，授权型领导在领导者独立思考方面产生了更好的结果，而任务导向型领导产生了最高的主观群体绩效评级——除了排名任务中满意度评级最高的变革型领导。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
