An Investigation of Transformational and Servant Leadership Caudill, Leann E. Social Psychology transformational leadership servant leadership decision making - moral and ethical aspects risk-taking Several types of leadership have been identified in the leadership literature. Two types considered to be effective in organizations are transformational leadership and servant leadership. The main purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of type of leadership (transformational vs. servant) on perceptions of followers' decision making in moral and risky situations. Results showed that followers were perceived to make moral decisions, regardless of type of leader. Results also showed that, overall, type of leader affected perceptions of followers' risky decision making, such that followers of transformational leaders made more risky decisions than followers of servant leaders. This study expanded the leadership literature by focusing on contextual testing within leadership and showing that not all popular leadership types may be effective in all situations. Findings of this study also further clarified the similarities and differences between transformational and servant leadership. Overall, findings suggested that both types of leaders seem to be effective in moral situations, but that transformational leaders seem to be more effective in risky situations. 2012 English text Xavier University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1396340649 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=xavier1396340649 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
