    Hi all,

    I'm currently working on my dissertation that focuses on examining the
    effect of directive versus participative leadership on team knowledge
    process and outcome. Now I am searching for some good measures tapping
    into these two kinds of leader behavior. Can anyone point me to the right
    direction? Thanks much!

    the following article has both directive and empowering leadership (as well as transformational and transactional)
     
    Vertical versus shared leadership as predictors of the effectiveness of change management teams: An examination of aversive, directive, transactional, transformational, and empowering leader behaviors.
    By Pearce, Craig L.; Sims Jr., Henry P.
    Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice. 2002 Jun Vol 6(2) 172-197

     

    I've attached the article, although I don't know if the attachment will come thru or not

    thanks

    You should try hear for leadership scales -- the Research Methods division Measures Chest

    http://division.aomonline.org/rm/measurechest/measures/Leadership.Scales1.pdf

    But I think you should think seriously about the theorizing that leads you to consider just these two leadership styles. It isn't obvious to me that these are "opposites"

    The construct space of leadership is quite complex and there are important situation factors to consider in undrstanding which styles are appropriate.

    Yes, leadership is definitely quite complex and I would be hesitant in focusing on just two factors. To give you an idea what I'm suggesting you may want to see http://www.unmanagement.com/publications/leadership%20&%20self-managing%20systems%20article.htm.

    dissertation study. I appreciate those who responded and your information
    and comment did point me to some new ways of thinking about this issue. For
    anyone interested in this topic, I attach a summary of all the responses.

    Dear Yuan,

    I read your summary, thanks for sending. Given the paucity of replies,
    I offer here some alternatives for you to consider depending on how you
    see the topic. The last one is brand new and still underdevelopment.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,

    Hi Jim:

    Thanks for sending these instruments. I found them very interesting.
    Actually your VCM model is pretty parallel with my framework, and the six
    leadership principles are a bit broader than what I focus on, which is
    effective, balanced leader behavior for leading project teams.

    Again, thank you for helping me in this hard, draining mental process!

    Best,
    Yuan
