What is Transformational What is Transformational Leadership?Leadership?Introduced by James
MacGregor Burns“transformational leadership engages everyone in such a way that both leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality”
Characteristics of Characteristics of Transformational LeadersTransformational Leaders
Lee Kuan YewLee Kuan YewFour unique aspects of his
leadership1.Strategist 2.Aversion to strong
ideologies3.Emphasis on meritrocracy in
government4.Unconventional and
practical approach related to human resources.
Multifactor Leadership Multifactor Leadership QuestionnaireQuestionnaireMLQ is the most widely used tool for
assessing leadership behavior.It assesses leaders on 5
parameters:Idealized attributes.Idealized behaviors.Inspirational Motivation.Intellectual stimulation.Individualized consideration.The cross cultural validity of MLQ is
under apprehension.
The “Culture” Factor!!The “Culture” Factor!!Culture is a set of underlying assumptions, norms and beliefs shared by members of a group.Leadership is a social phenomenon.Need for culture specific theory:The existing theories did not capture the essence of other places of the world except the western world.India in leadership context: why culture should be considered?
Study 1 - Grounded Theory Study 1 - Grounded Theory For Item GenerationFor Item GenerationRaised the awareness of
followers about issues of consequence
Shifted them to higher level needs And
Influence them to transcend their self-interests.
The ProcessThe ProcessData collection :open ended
questionnaire.Coding procedure : people who had
experienced transformation were considered as valid information.
Data Analysis : observed behaviors recurring in respondents responses through iterative n inferential process.
Sorting process : deletion of items that seems to be conceptually inconsistent.
The ProcessThe ProcessItem Generation : At least three
items from current data, Totaling 51 items retained that had emerged from data.
StudyStudy 2 - Factor analysis2 - Factor analysis Factor analysis attempts to bring
intercorrelated variables together under more general, underlying variables.
The variables with high intercorrelations could well measure one underlying variable, which is called a ‘factor’.
This projection of the scores of the original variables on the factor leads to two results: factor scores and factor loadings
Factor Scoresthe scores of a subject on a […]
factor.
Factor Loadingfactor loadings are the
correlation of the original variable with a factor
Exploratory factor Exploratory factor analysisanalysis
Described as orderly simplification of interrelated measures.
Used to explore the possible underlying factor structure of a set of observed variables without imposing a preconceived structure on the outcome.
Study-2Study-251 items from Study-1 was
administered to 379 managers.Included 5 factor model of MLQ, as
in:◦Idealized influence.(attribute)◦Idealized influence.(behavior)◦Inspirational motivation.◦Intellectual simulation.◦Individual consideration.
Results after EFAResults after EFA9 factor emerged as a whole out
of which 6 were finalized as 3 factors had one item each.
Cross loadings were removed.The number of items fell form 51
to 32.
Confirmatory Factor Confirmatory Factor AnalysisAnalysis
is a statistical technique used to verify the factor structure of a set of observed variables.
to test the hypothesis that a relationship between observed variables and their underlying latent constructs exists.
Results after CFAResults after CFA6 factor model and 9 factor
model were compared together.GFI(Goodness of Fit Index) was
comparitively low in 9 Factor model.
Thus 6 Factor Model with modified item to total of 27 is selected.
6 Factor Model constituted of :
◦Performance oriented and humane;◦Open and nurturing ;◦Sensitive and conscientious;◦Personal touch;◦Conviction in self;◦Non-traditional.
Study 3 – Scale ValidationStudy 3 – Scale ValidationFinal Sample : 101 Manager-
Subordinate dyadsInstruments Used27 items from Study 2
+Laissez-faire, Satisfaction with
leader, Extra effort by subordinate, perception of leader’s
Effectiveness.
Capturing Subordinate Capturing Subordinate PerformancePerformanceActual measure of performance
rating (single item measure)
Contextual performance (mean of 16 items) – 5 pt Likert scale
Task performance (mean of 3 items) – 7 pt Likert scale
Validity of new scalesValidity of new scalesConvergent Validity : ITL positively correlates with
MLQ-TL and vice versa
Discriminant Validity : ITL negatively correlates with
factors like Laissez-faire
Validity of new scales Validity of new scales (contd…)(contd…)Criterion related validity :(a)ITL positively correlate with
Satisfaction, Extra Effort and Effectiveness
(b)ITL positively correlate with contextual and task performance.
Only ‘personal touch’ factor of ITL positively correlates with organization performance rating.

ConclusionConclusion
Influence of national culture on the organisation
Leadership- a dynamic social process

ITL- some aspects unique to India, others Universal
