Description
Summary:Based on Bass' Jeadership model (1985, 1990), the M.L.Q. questionnaire (Multifactor Leader­ship Questionnaire) was validated for the assessment of Jeadership styles in Argentinean civil and military population. Data were gathered (N=363) on military (cadets and officers) and ci­ vilian population. A factorial structure of seven grouped in three styles of Jeadership (34 items) was obtained and it was confirmed by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The results point out better adjustment of the obtained pattern for civil population than for military. Individual differences were also found among the styles of leadership of civilians and military population. In the first ones characteristics related with the exchange and the negotiation prevail. In the mi­ litary environments The style of transformational Jeadership prevails in military environments. In both populations valued Jeader characteristics were perceived with more intensity in self-per­ ception format than in the perception of subordinates regarding their superiors. === Basados en la teoría de Bass (1985, 1990), se adaptó el cuestionario M.L.Q. (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) para la evaluación de los estilos de liderazgo civiles y militares argentinos. Se recogieron datos de 363 sujetos, civiles (53%) y militares cadetes y oficiales (47%). Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio y luego confirmatorio resultando una escala de 34 ítems que responde a un modelo de siete factores agrupados en tres estilos de liderazgo. Los resultados señalan mejor ajuste del modelo para población civil que para militar. Se encontraron diferencias individuales entre los estilos de liderazgo de civiles y militares. En los primeros predominan las características relacionadas con el intercambio y la negociación. En los ámbitos militares predomina el estilo de liderazgo transformacional. En ambas poblaciones las características más valoradas de los líderes se autopercibían con mayor intensidad en el formato de autoregistro que en la percepción del subalterno respecto del superior.
