Question

Research on transformational leadership did not find that ______.

A. all four components of transformational leadership are positively related to leadership effectiveness.
B. men tend to engage in more contingent reward behavior than women.
C. women tend to engage in more contingent reward behavior than men.
D. men's styles tend to be less transformational than women's.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Men tend to engage in more contingent reward behavior than women.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Men tend to engage in more contingent reward behavior than women. Research on transformational leadership has shown that women tend to engage in more contingent reward behavior than men. Contingent reward behavior refers to the leader providing rewards or incentives to followers based on their performance.

In the study conducted by Eagly, Johannesen-Schmidt, & van Engen (2003), they found that women tend to exhibit the characteristics of transformational leaders, while men are more likely to be transactional leaders. Transactional leadership involves using a system of rewards and punishments to achieve organizational goals. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that men's styles are less transformational than women's.
