A theoretical and empirical extension to the transformational leadership construct
研究重新审视了多因素领导问卷中的权变奖励子量表，发现其包含显性和隐性心理契约两个因子，分别对应变革型和交易型领导，从而扩展了变革型领导构念。
Abstract The contingent rewards subscale of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was examined in an attempt to theoretically explain recent empirical results linking contingent rewards to transformational rather than transactional leadership. In Study 1, we supported the proposal that the items in the contingent rewards subscale represented two separate factors, an explicit and an implicit psychological contract. In addition, the implicit factor loaded with other transformational subscales and the explicit factor loaded with other transactional subscales. We confirmed these results in Study 2, and supported other hypotheses from transformational leadership theory using the contingent rewards revision. Implications for the transformational leadership construct are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
