Abstract Over the past few years there has been growing interest in the study of leadership
styles and organisational culture. Internal issues and external environment challenge
the leadership of manufacturing organisations, Scarborough, (2001). Ile focus of the
research was to gain insight into the transformational leadership of manufacturing
organisations. Although leadership scholars have generated a significant stream of
research on transformational leadership, there has been a lack of attention to the
specific features in the context of transformational leadership such as contingency theories, attribution theory, and organisational culture. The study investigates the effects of transformational leadership on situational determinants and organisational culture in manufacturing organisations in Pakistan.
Podsakoff et al, (1990) a 23-item measure of transformational leadership inventory
questionnaire was employed to evaluate transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations. Ile objectives of this research study are: Firstly to study transformational leadership
in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. Secondly to study transformational leaders'
behaviour in manufacturing organisations with respect to situational determinants, i. e.,
situation strength, attribution theory, feedback, and organisational culture. Thirdly to develop hypotheses concerning the relationship between transformational leadership,
and situational determinants and to develop a model of relationship between
transformational leadership, situational determinants and organisational culture. Lastly, to suggest further research guidelines for transformational leadership
phenomena and leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. Results from the research show that transformational leaders tend to create weak
situations for their followers in manufacturing organisations; they favour discretion to
their followers and delegate decision-making to followers. Transformational leaders
also tend to make external attributions for the causes of poor performance in their
organisations, and assume follower's mistake as a learning experience. They try to
establish close contact with their followers and seek feedback directly from followers.
Transformational leaders favour clan type culture more in their manufacturing
organisations; however adhocracy culture is not completely ignored. A new leadership
aligruncnt model incorporating various concepts focussing on leadership style,
organisational. leadership, and situational strength has bccn introduccd.
Results from the data analysis indicate that there is a need to train more Icadcrs in
Pakistani manufacturing organisations to benefit from the transformational leadership
style, as it has been established that transformational leadership is an influential form
of leadership clearly associated with high levels of individual and organisational
performance, (Shamir & Kark, 2002). As pointed out by Bass, (2002) leaders will bc
prized for their innovativcncss, responsiveness, and flexibility, all linked to their
frequency of transformational leadership behaviour.
Key Words: Transformational leadership, manufacturing organisations, situational strength,
organisational culture, attribution theory, fccdback, leadership alignment model, Pakistan.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My greatest thanks and gratitude to Almighty Allah who gave me the strength, ability,
and opportunity to complete my studies.
I arn especially thankful to the Government of Pakistan, Ministry of Education, for
sponsoring me for this important task and helping me in achieving my academic
goals.
This thesis could have never been finished without the generous, kind, and
professional guidance and help of Professor N. D. Burns. I find it very difficult to find
the appropriate words to express my feelings for his support and encouragement given to help me to complete this thesis. He has been very polite, cooperative, and friendly
in his constructive advice and guidance. I am sure that this is not the end but the start
of a long-term relationship and cooperation.
I am also thankful to Dr. Samir Dani for his help and cooperation and the participating
organisations, and the leaders as well as their followers for giving me their precious
time and support through their responses on the questionnaire and interviews.
I am also thankful to my father, mother, brother, sister, wife, and especially to my
children for their continuous support and encouragement to complete my studies.

Behayioural Aspccts of TranS format iona I Leadership In Manufacturing Organisationa
Chapter 1 Introduction
Leadership is one of the most researched areas around the globe. It has gained importance in every walk of life from politics to business and from education to social
organisations. Leaders must prepare to address the changes that will come about as a
consequence of the globalisation of the market. Business markets arc becoming
unstable, customer needs and dcsircs are changing, and information flow is becoming
more diverse and complex, Bass & Avolio (1992). These changes require leaders and
organisations that are able to respond to continuous changes in resources, technologies
marketing methods and distribution system. Leadership field has faced conflicts over definitional issues (e. g., Avolio ct al., 2003, Bennis, 1959 and Yukl, 2002), theoretical
adequacy (e. g., Schriesheim et al., 1999 and Wheatley, 1999), measurement problems (e. g., Antonakis et al., 2003 and Schriesheim & Kerr, 1977), model specification (e. g., Jarvis ct al., 2003 and Villa et al., 2003), and "academic amnesia" (e. g., Sayles &
Stewart, 1995). There has been confusion and inconsistency in the conceptualisation
and eventually the practical application of leadership theory over the years, that Bass
(1990) states, "there are almost as many definitions of leadership as there are persons
who have attempted to define the concepC'. According to Day, Zaccaro and Haplin
(2004), study of leadership includes a single individual who is formally recognised as,
supervisor, manager, or a leader of an organisational entity.
Rapidly changing technological era of twenty first century requires new thinking about leadership and leadership talent. We have to move to an era in which leadership is an
organisational. capability and not an individual characteristic that a few individuals at the top of an organisation have. Leadership only at the top is acceptable in the old
economy and in traditional bureaucratic organisation. Indeed, it is the hallmark of many
effective traditional bureaucracies, but it is not the right approach for the rapidly
changing world of work, Bennis et al (2001). Organisations need to focus on broadening their leadership talent by not just targeting leadership developments
activities to a few individuals who have the potential to be senior corporate executives. If leadership is to become a true organisational capability, it needs to be diffused
throughout the organisation, this means training, and development in this important
area of human capital as well as in the area of technical expertise and knowledge. The
I
BehivioUral Aspects of Trans formationat Leadersh ip-*n Many facturin a Organisations
failure to develop leadcrship talent throughout the organisation is a sure prescription for
creating an organisation that is heavy on technical talent but weak on direction and focus, Bcnnis ct al (2001).
Regardless of the respective organisation's size or structure, most leaders strive to
maximisc the performance of their followcrs in order to achieve organisational goals. Indeed, leadership has been defined in terms of mobilizing the workforce towards
attaining organisational goals (Yukl, 1998). It is not surprising that considerable
attention has been focused on attempting to motivate the workforce to this end. The style of the leader is considered to be particularly important in achieving
organisational goals, with research consistently demonstrating the benefits of
transformational leadership style over the more traditional forms, such as transactional
leadership style, in terms of achieving organisational goals (Awanilch 1999; Congcr
1999, Dubinsky and Yarnmarino 1995). The leader's style is also considered important
in being able to evoke performance among followers (Barling 1996, Zacharatos and Berson 2000).
1.1 What is leadership?
It is believed that defining leadership is a simple exercise; we might easily be tempted
to think in this way. We all talk about leadership. We all use leadership terminology.
Many of us would claim that %ve know leadership. According to Bums (1978)
leadership is one of the most observed and least understood phenomena on earth. Yet
we are still unable to produce an articulate definition of leadership. 17herefore it isift as
easy, as is presumed. Many people think, leadership is something that only the formal leader does. However,
leadership can be viewed as, any act by any group member that advances the
effectiveness of the group. However there is a difference between the role of leadership
and the function of leadership. The difference between the role of leadership and the
function of leadership is that, the role of leadership refers to a position of authority in
some organisational hierarchy, while the function of leadership refers to the activities
and processes that move a group or organisation towards the accomplishment of its
goals.

Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leidcrshi2 In Manufacturing Organisations
1.2 Why is leadership important?
Why is leadership important to an organisation? Why not just focus on doing our work,
running the company, and cease to worry about leadership? Simple: This is the age of
the knowledge worker. Attracting talented people and enabling them to work
effectively to fulfil the organisation's goals is the single most important activity of
today's company. Ultimately, the most important task is to make a profit (in a
responsible way), but that will only be achieved by attracting productive workcrs.
Knowledge workers are now more important than innovative ideas (the rate of change in business today is not suffering from lack of innovation), financial assets (venture
capitalists will give us that), and physical assets (e. g., factories and raw materials, inventory).
According to Byrne (2000) "Attracting, cultivating, and retaining talented people will be the indispensable ingredient that will drive the ideas, products, and growth of all
companies like never before. "
Leadership is the art of attracting and motivating these talented workers to put their
talents to work for meeting goals, Ulrich ct al (1999). Organisations that succeed with leadership will have the employees they need doing the sort of work they need. Organisationswithout adequate leadership will suffer greatly because of it. Leadership
is associated with distinct tasks, duties, functions, and responsibilities. These have been
conccptualised in many different ways, including task orientation and socio-cinotional
orientation, Bales (1958), consideration, influence, and intellectual stimulation, Bass &
Avolio (1994); setting direction, building commitment, and facing adoptive challenges (Drath 2001). According to Avolio (2004), the relevant point is not which particular
tasks are most important for leadership. It is instead more important to recognise that
there are discernible leadership functions that contribute to organisational effectiveness. As several leadership theorists have proposed, influence on others is the essence of leadership (e. g., Yuk], 1998). Leadership effectiveness is critically contingent on, and indeed often defined in terms of, leaders' ability to motivate followers towards a
collective goal, mission, or vision (Chemcrs, 2001). 'Me logical implication of this
proposition is that, to understand leadership effectiveness, we need to understand leadership's effects on followers. In other words, to understand leadership, we need to
3
Behavioural Aspects of Transformationil Leadership *n Manufacturing Orannisntions
develop theories of the psychological processes that translate leader behaviour into
follo%vcr action. Leadership research has, however, focused more on the leader (Icadcr
traits and behaviour; Bass, 1990 and YukI 1998) than on thcsc psychological cffccts on followers, and the enterprise of understanding leadership still seems to have much to
gain by research that concentrates on psychological cffccts on follo%, vcrs (Ifunt, 1999
and Lord & Brown, 2004).
1.3 What are the challenges associated with leadership
The challenges faced by today's organisations have become increasingly complex because business and other organisations are changing their structures, reducing layers
of management control, and striving to become more agile and responsive to their
environments. The results of these ongoing transformations are that there is a pervasive
need for people at every level to participate in the leadership process. No single leader
can possibly have all the answers to every problem, especially if those problems are in
the form of adoptive challenges-those problems for which an organisation has no pre-
existing resources, tools, solutions, or scnse-making strategies for accurately naming
and describing the challenge, Heifetz (1994). Consequently all organisational members
need to be leaders and all leaders need to be better prepared to participate in leadership.
Bums (1978) noted the level of mediocrity or degree of irresponsibility of many in
positions of industrial leadership. According to him, we fail to grasp the essence of leadership that is relevant to our modem age. Leaders in today's organisations are
continuing to face competitive forces. In addition, the impact of trying to keep up with
the fast pace of technological change, combined with serious technical work-force
shortages and never knowing when an external force is going to make a bid for a
company that is vulnerable, are just a few of the problems today's industrial leaders
must face on a daily basis, Scarborough (2001).
Dr. Edwards Deming's work in Japan in the 1950s had a profound effect on
manufacturing throughout the world. By adopting his philosophies, Japanese
management and their industries soon became the world's leading manufacturers of
high quality goods. In his book "Out of the Crisis, " Deming placed most of the
problems in manufacturing on management. According to Dr. Deming, eighty five to
4
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
ninety percent of the problems in industry can be attributed to the decisions, or indecision of management.
1.4 Background of Leadership Research
The widespread fascination with leadership may be because it is such a mysterious
process, as well as one that touches everyone's life. Questions about leadership have
long been a subject of speculation, but scientific research on leadership did not begin
until the twentieth century (Yukl, 1998). The intense interest in the study of leadership
is partly attributable to its supposed contribution to economic wealth and its
significance in leveraging change and maximizing individual and business performance (Kuhnert, 1994; Cleaver, 2002). A publication in (2002) by 'the Institute of Management found that there is a positive association between leadership development
and the growth of financial turnover (Home and Stedman-Jones, 2002). The focus of
much of the research has been on the determinants of leadership effectiveness.
Behavioural scientists have attempted to discover what traits, abilities, behaviours,
sources of power or aspects of the situation determine how well a leader is able to
influence followers and accomplish group objectives (Yukl, 1989). Leadership as
science concerns that body of knowledge, acquired about leadership through research.
The skill with which we apply different leadership techniques and the appropriateness
of those techniques for a particular leadership situation may largely be a function of
experience. By having a better understanding of the science of leadership, we can
provide more perspectives for analysing the leadership situation, which may expand the
range of actions we may take as a leader in response to a situation. Leadership seems to
be both a black box and a mysterious concept. Every time an attempt is made to define
what enables effective leadership, the results indicate contradictions and draw people to
the conclusion that great leaders must be bom and not made (Higgs and Dulewicz,
1999).
According to James MacGregor Bums, time has come to talk about how corporations,
our wealth-producing institutions, can develop the type of leadership possessing
courage and imagination to change our corporate life style. It was once believed that,
most wealth was generated in industries typified by economics of scale and a de-skilled
5

production-line force, and that having an efficient process manager was essential to
achieve results. Now the world is a very different place. The employee's ability to think is now a more important source of wealth generation than the machinery they operate, (Gillen, 2002). This is not the old style transactional leadership but a new style of transformational leadership. Transactional leaders were fine for the earlier era of
expanding markets and nonexistent competition, but now it is believed that,
transformational leadership is about change, innovation, and entrepreneurship. According to Bass (2002) while discussing the evolution of organisational leadership
by the year 2034, he stated that, "Leaders will be prized for their innovativeness,
responsiveness and flexibility, all linked to their frequency of transformational
leadership behaviour". Further more he added, "The trend will continue that transforms
rule-driven bureaucracies into mission-oriented organisations aided by more
transformational and less transactional leadership. "
The transformational leadership paradigm is the most researched area of leadership
over the last decade (Lowe and Gardner, 2000). As a result, the research has created
considerable knowledge about the transformational leadership phenomenon. However,
it has also generated several conceptual issues and so addressing these issues is
necessary for advancing transformational leadership research.
Manufacturing is the most difficult and demanding field. It is also the most critical part
of industry as well as, the most critical contribution to a country's economy, and
demands the highest skills of its leaders. According to Woodgate (1991) manufacturing
problems appear to be much more a matter of leadership than of technology. There
have been cases, where companies have gone from poor to excellent and from red to
black due to either excellence in leadership and vice versa. According to Weir,
Kochhar, LeBeau, and Edgeley (2000), it is widely recognised that manufacturing can be
a formidable competitive weapon if equipped and managed properly
1.5 Meaning of Transformational Leadership
Bass (1985) and Avolio & Bass (1988) define transformational leaders as those that
elevate the desires of followers for achievement and self-development, while also
6
Behavioural AsRects of Transformational LeadershiR in Manufacturing Organisations
promoting the development of groups and organisations. Instead of responding to the
immediate self-interest of followers with either a carrot or a stick, transformational leaders arouse in the individual a heightened awareness of key issues, of the group and
organisation, while increasing the confidence of followers, and gradually moving them
from concerns for existence to concerns for achievement, growth and development.
Such leaders exhibit idealized influence (charisma), individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation. These factors represent four basic
components or "I's" of transformational leadership. The foundation of transformational
leadership rests on these four "I's" Bass and Avolio (1994), identified: idealised
influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualised
consideration, defined as follows:
1.5.1 Idealised Influencc
Idealised influence is strong among leaders who have a vision and sense of mission,
who gain respect, trust, and confidence; and who acquire strong individual
identification from followers. Leaders who exhibit idealized influence are able to obtain
the required extra effort from followers to achieve optimal levels of development and
performance.
1.5.2 Individualised Consideration
Leaders concentrate on diagnosing the needs and capabilities of followers. They
diagnose followers' needs and attend to them individually. They also delegate, coach,
advise, and provide feedback for use in the personal development of followers. They
raise the needs and confidence levels of followers to take them on to greater levels of
responsibility. A followers' responsibility does not simply cover their job requirements
nor it is geared exclusively to maximizing performance. On the contrary, followers are
taking greater responsibility for their personal development, which includes such
factors as one's job challenges.
7
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
1.5.3 Intellectual Stimulation
Leaders actively encourage the taking of a new look at old methods/problems. They
foster creativity, and stress a rethinking and re-examination of assumptions and
underlying problems. They use intuition as well as more formal logic to solve
problems. Intellectually stimulating leaders inspire followers to tackle problems using
their own unique and innovative perspectives. Followers become more effective
problem solvers with and without the leader's facilitation. They become more innovative with respect to their analysis of problems and the strategies they use to
resolve them.
1.5.4 Inspirational Motivation
Leaders give inspirational talks, increase optimism and enthusiasm, and communicate
their visions of attainable futures with fluency and confidence (Bass, 1985, Avolio &
Bass (1988) & Bums (1978). They provide vision, which stimulates enthusiasm to
accomplish higher levels of performance and development. Managers should be fully
prepared as leaders and should be willing and able to demonstrate in their behaviour
and attitudes all four 'T's of transformational leadership.
1.6 Need for Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership is required if organisations are to meet the challenges of
the rapid changes of the twenty-first century. According to Avolio and Bass (1988),
transformational leaders attempt to minimize mistakes proactively through anticipation
and ongoing diagnosis but, when they occur, they try to turn them into learning
experiences rather than simply punishing, or criticizing the followers for making
mistakes. Whenever possible, transformational leaders try to turn threats associated
with mistakes and/or failure into opportunities to learn, to develop and to grow to one's
full potential.
A greater impact of transformational leadership on performance has also been shown in
numerous organisations. For example, research by Hater, and Bass (1988) shows that
8
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
managers at Federal Express who were rated by their followers as exhibiting greater
transformational leadership levels were evaluated by their immediate supervisors as higher performers and more promotable. Similarly, as shown by Kellerl(989), Crookall
(1989), & Howell & Avolio (1988), the level of transformational leadership shown by
top-level managers working in the financial industry in Canada, was significantly and
positively related to the level of unit performance produced by the departments led by
managers rated as transformational leaders. Transformational as compared to
transactional leadership has also been shown to be more strongly correlated with lower
turnover rates, higher productivity, higher satisfaction and commitment, as well as
greater overall organisational success.
Some prominent scholars of leadership (e. g.. Bass. 1998: House & Howell, 1992) have
indicated that although we know a great deal today about the actions, behaviour, and
influence of transformational leaders (Bass, 1985,1999a, b; Bass & Avolio, 1990). In
contrast, we know very little about the psychological substructure, the internal world of
these leaders, namely what "makes them tick, " and how they developed this way,
Popper & Mayseless (2002). Judge and Bono (2000) have also highlighted this by
claiming that: 'Even if one considers transformational leadership to be a behavioural
theory, the origins of the behaviours are unclear. '
1.7 Leadership and Situational Determinants
Much has* been researched and written on the role of leadership or the qualities of a
good leader. Of course, there exist many books and workshops on the topic.
Researchers, who try to describe and predict good leaders, disagree about many critical
elements. However, they agree on many as well. Personal traits are important, acquired
skills are important, and the situation for leadership is important. Some of the key
concepts that reoccur in organisational leadership research are:
" Contingency Theory
" Attribution Theory
" Communication skills or feedback, and
" Organisational culture
9

1.8 Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
A leader is very different to a manager. Sylvia Mendez-Morse quoted Bennis and Nanus are noted as saying "Managers are people who do things right and leaders are
people who do the right thing. "
At its core, leadership is all about taking people to places where they would not go
alone. Numerous reports over the past several years have identified some of the reasons
why the manufacturing sector's skilled worker shortage exists. Some of the reasons, that
industrial workers leave industries are:
" Intense pressure of the leaders on followers to achieve high production targets
" Master-servant behaviour of the leaders in an industrial environment
" Unhappy followers with low paid enumeration For a specialized, skilled production or craft worker, the reality exacts a higher price. Marketing, finance and IT workers, for example, can more easily transfer skills and
expertise to other sectors of the economy with little retraining and even the possibility
of higher pay. Conversely a welder, a machinist, or a wood worker faces the prospect of being forced at some point to retrain for a completely new job and start over at a low-
paying entry-level position. Skill certification and retraining programs will help, but
they won't change the fact that an employee's chances for uninterrupted career
advancement are better in a sector where employment is growing or in a career that is
more flexible.
However, manufacturing leaders point to statistics showing that the manufacturing
sector offers the highest pay in the private sector. A report in 2001 found that the reason
employees leave manufacturing is for higher pay, Panchak (2004). Could it be that
higher pay is the only reward today's employees seek? Perhaps they're looking for a
position that gives them a sense of contributing to a greater cause than the profit?
Possibly a sense of self- and peer respect that comes with a position that encourages
self-management and input into how work gets done? Alternatively, perhaps the wages,
though good, are viewed as self-limiting.

1.9 Applicability of Organisational Theories Across Nations
To study how people or a particular group of people in a particular region would behave in managing their organisations, a study of organisational theories could provide
a good starting point. In addition, an understanding of organisational theories can help
to improve organisational effectiveness since they depend to a very large degree upon
the behaviour of people acting both individually and collectively. Being aware of why
those behaviours occur, of the factors that affect them, and how they affect each other
can only be of benefit in the attempt to create an organisational culture that enhances
organisational effectiveness.
It is generally recognised that the formal study of organisational theories is undertaken in the Western countries, in particular the U. S. A., and the U. K. The major contributors
to literature are Westerners. However the increased importance of Asia in the world
economy and the central role played by the Asian managers - as a result of global
expansion and integration-has provided the impetus on research for leadership in the
Asian countries. As these writers generate their organisational theories, they are
inevitably affected by people's behaviour and the manpower environment in the
Western countries. These factors are very much the characteristics of the national
culture of the people-the social, political, economical and many other factors of the
countries concerned. As different countries may exhibit different characteristics in these
aspects, it raises the very valid question as to whether organisational theories applicable
in one country, would apply well in another. In other words, could there be
organisational theories that are globally applicable? Can these organisational theories
be applicable in other regions?
The Government of Pakistan has sponsored this research project for mechanical and
manufacturing engineering sector. The researcher more than eight years background
experience in engineering management in Pakistani manufacturing industry and
problems he faced in managing operations and people have motivated him to focus
research on the application of leadership theories in the manufacturing sector in
Pakistan. While reviewing literature for leadership, it has been found that in the last two
decades there has been accumulating evidence to suggest that transformational
leadership is an influential form of leadership and it is associated with high levels of
11
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
individual and organisational performance (e. g. Howell & Avolio, 1993, Barling,
Weber & Kelloway, 1996, Geyer & Steyrer, 1995, Howell & Shea, 1998, Bass, 1998,
Antanakis and House, 2002, Jung & Sosik, 2002, Avolio ct al, 2003, Whittington et al, 2004, Zhu et al, 2005). However, as indicated by Popper & Mayseless (2002) and
others; we know a great deal today about the actions, behaviour, and influence of transformational leaders but we know very little about the psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders, namely what "makes them tick", and how they developed this way. Judge & Bono (2000) claim that: 'Even if one considers transformational leadership to be a behavioural theory, the origins of the behaviours, are
unclear. ' In this context, research on transformational leadership in Pakistani
manufacturing organisations was explored and an attempt is made to understand the internal world of the transformational leaders and what are the behavioural
characteristics of these transformational leaders by developing research questions about behavioural aspects of transformational leadership.
Transformational leadership is characterised by the ability to bring about significant
change. Transformational leaders have the ability to lead changes in the organisation's
vision, strategy, and culture as well as promote innovation in products and
technologies, Daft (2002). Transformational leaders analyse and control specific
transactions with followers using rules, directions, and incentives, they focus on
intangible qualities such as vision, shared values, and ideas in order to build
relationships, give larger meanings to separate activities, and provide common ground
to enlist followers in the change process. Four most significant areas of
transformational leadership, Bass (1995) are:
1. Transformational leadership developsJollowers into leaders:
Followers are given greater freedom to control their own behaviour. Transformational
leadership rallies people around a mission and defines the boundaries within which followers can operate in relative freedom to accomplish organisational goals. The
transformational leader arouses in followers an awareness of problems and issues and helps people look at things in new ways so that productive change can happen.
12
3rmational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
2. Transformational leadership elevates the concerns of followers ftom lower-
level physical needs (such as for safety and security) to higher-level
psychological needs (such asfor self-esteem and sey'-actualisation): It is important that lower-level needs are met through adequate wages, safe working
conditions, and other considerations. However, the transformational leader also pays
attention to each individual's needs for growth and development. Therefore, the leader
sets examples and assigns tasks not only to meet immediate needs but also to elevate followers' needs and abilities to a higher-level and link them to the organisation's
mission. Transformational leaders change followers so that they are empowered to
change the organisation.
I Transformational leadership inspires followers to go beyond their own set(- interestsfor the good ofthe group:
Transformational leaders motivate followers to do more than originally expected. They
make followers aware of the importance of change goals and outcomes and, in turn,
enable them to transcend their own immediate interests for the sake of the
organisational mission. Followers admire these leaders and have a high degree of trust in them. However, transformational leadership motivates follower not just to follow the
leader personally but also to believe in the need for change and be willing to make
personal sacrifices for the greater purpose.
4. TransforMatiOnal leadership paints a vision of a desired future state and
communicates it in a way that makes the pain ofchange worth effbrt. ý The most significant rale of the transformational leader may be to find a vision for the
organisation that is significantly better than the one prior to change and to enlist others in sharing the drearn- It is the vision that launches follower into action. Change can
occur only wher' the fOllowers have a sense of purpose as well as desirable picture of
where the orgarlisation, is going. Without vision, there can be no transformation.
Bass (1999) argues that transformational leadership refers to the leader moving the
follower beyo"C' inlrnediate self-interests through idealised influence (charisma)
inspiration, intellectual stimulation, or individualised. consideration. Intellectual
stimulation "refcr to how leaders question the status quo, appeal to followers' intellect
13
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
to make them question their assumption, and invite innovative and creative solutions to
problems" Antanakis and House (2002).
1.10 Transformational Leadership Research in Manufacturing Sector
Research done by Scarborough (2001) on transforming leadership in manufacturing industry, in which she studied seven manufacturing leaders from the most influential
companies in the Rockford area of the U. S. A. She found that these leaders, their
feelings, attitude, actions, and feelings of other about them, present evidence to support
that they are engaged in transforming leadership as defined by Bums (1978). In all of
these companies, these leaders have managed to either (a) take a company going under
and turn it into a successful business venture; or (b) change the culture from a dictatorship to one of participative management, teaming, collaborative leadership. In
other words, the evidence about these leaders speaks well to their ability "to role up
their sleeves" and work with people to raise everyone to higher standards, morally,
ethically, and financially. These leaders believe that high morals and ethical behaviour
are critical to good leadership.
Bums' (2003) investigation into world-renowned leaders, and Jim Collins (2001a), a
well-known author, and management researcher, when he attempted to uncover what
transformed a company from good to great. His research revealed that great companies had what he defined as a Level 5 leader. His argument is based on a five-year study he
and a group of 22 research associates conducted with 1,435 Fortune 500 companies.
Through both qualitative and quantitative analysis they set out to answer two research
questions: Can a good company become a great company, and, if so, how? Collins'
concludes that only II companies met the criteria of a "great company" and at the helm
of these companies was a unique person with specific characteristics.
Collins (2001b) developed a hierarchical diagram that outlines the progression of a
Level 5 leader and the subsequent increase in personal power. Level 5 leaders are humble and unpretentious; they often credit "luck" or others for their accomplishments. They are mild-mannered and shy, and they do not want to receive any public
acknowledgement for their greatness. These leaders push themselves to do whatever it
14
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
takes to produce great results and they pursue successors that will continue on in their
success. When a level 5 leader recognises adversity or when the company struggles, they blame themselves and maintain their faith that they will prevail with commitment
and perseverance. Despite feelings of inadequacy, these great leaders focus on the
company, and make decisions for the benefit and longevity of the organisation, as
opposed to their personal wealth or benefit.
Bums and Collins both revert to looking at the great leaders of all time in an effort to
isolate what makes these people so extraordinary. Both conclude that these exceptional leaders possess something unique. Burns suggests that transforming leaders "define
public values that embrace the supreme and enduring principles of a people. " Collins
(2001b) states that Level 5 leaders "build enduring greatness through a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will. " Despite the differences in the above
statements, Level 5 leaders and transforming leaders both focus on the collective
organisation, or group of people. Moreover, these exceptional and committed leaders
possess unique personal values that empower others to transform the organisation.
1.11 Aims of the Project
It is the intention of this project to study leadership theories as they may be applied in
manufacturing organisations in Pakistani culture and explore the literature especially
vAth reference to organisational leadership in the manufacturing organisation context. The Government of Pakistan has sponsored this research for the study of manufacturing
engineering leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisation. In doing so, the
concept of transformational leadership will be explored and its effects on situational determinants be researched (and vice-versa) to finther understand the processes involved in transformational leaders behaviours.
The primary focus is on transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations. This project presents a broad survey of theory and research on leadership in
organisations, and further broadens the concept of transformational leadership.
Most of what is written about transformational leadership focuses on the top
hierarchical level of the organisation. However, it is believed that the challenge for
15
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
transformational leadership is at all levels in an organisation. Rosabeth Kanter, (1983)
focused attention on such leaders in the middle of the organisation. She provided new insights into the role of middle level leaders in transforming organisations. It is the intention of this research to include all the leaders in a manufacturing
organisation irrespective of organisational hierarchy i. e., not only those at the top
hierarchical level. According to Bass (1998) leadership is not just the province of
people at the top. In fact, we see that it is important for such leaders in those levels
below them. The need for leadership is at all levels of the organisation.
The opportunity is made to study transformational leadership in Pakistani
manufacturing organisations, a country of large resources, a huge work force, and
occupying a central position in Central Asian countries. In doing so, some hypotheses
and a model concerning the relationship between situational determinants with
reference to transformational leadership and organisational culture will be put forward
for testing.
1.12 Objectives of the Project
The main aim of this research is to explore transformational leadership in
manufacturing organisations in Pakistan by using the Podsakoff et al (1990)
transformational leadership survey inventory questionnaire to identify transformational
leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. By exploring transformational
leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisations, statistics about transformational
leadership in manufacturing industry in Pakistan may be highlighted for the
Government of Pakistan as well as for public/private sector organisations. These
statistics may be helpful for further training of manufacturing leaders in
transformational leadership style in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. The
research questions will be developed to understand the psychological substructure, the
internal world of transformational leaders, namely what "makes them tick, " and how
they developed this way and to contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the
psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders. A model of
transformational leadership will develop which will be helpful in creating a culture of
transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations.

Chapter 2 Literature Review on Leadership
2.1 Introduction
This research work was commenced with a literature review on leadership. The main
sources for literature review were related books, journal articles, magazines, and the internet (google search engine, Questia. com, world's largest on line library). To
address the research objectives mentioned in chapter 1, the literature was reviewed focussed on leadership i. e., its meaning, approaches and theories, then literature was
reviewed for transformational leadership, its need, and an overview of contemporary
research conducted on transformational leadership.
When we think of leaders in today's world, we often think first of the "big names"
which we hear in the news; e. g., President George W. Bush, and Prime Minister Tony
Blair in politics, Jack Welch; Michael Dell; or Bill Gates in businesses; Mother Teresa
as spiritual leader. Yet there are leaders working in every organisation, large or small.
In fact leadership surrounds us every day, in all facets of our lives.
Leader means a person who keeps a vision in front of people, loving the work and infusing others with energy and enthusiasm. Most importantly, it means building a
community where people have the ability, the freedom, and the will to accomplish
amazing results, Daft (2002).
A difference exists between leadership and management. Management is about coping
with complexity. Management ensures plan accomplishment by controlling and
problem solving-monitoring results verses the plan in detail, both formally and
informally, by means of reports, meetings, and other tools. However, leadership is
about coping with change. It has become so important in recent years that the business
world has become more competitive and more volatile. Faster technological change,
greater international competition, the deregulation of markets, overcapacity in capital-
intensive industries, and the changing demographics of the work force are among the
many factors that have contributed to focus on leadership than management.
Leadership is achieving a vision by motivating and inspiring followers-keeping people
moving in the right direction, Kotter (199 8).
20
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
2.2 The Meaning of Leadership
Leadership appears to be a rather sophisticated concept. Words meaning head of state,
military commander, princes, proconsul, chief, or king are the only ones found in
many languages to differentiate the ruler from other members of society (Bass, 1981).
The first thing that springs to most people's minds when the word 'leadership' is
mentioned is not business leaders but political leaders. If we ask someone in the street to name three leaders, they are likely to cite illustrious or notorious names such as Churchill, Hitler, Kennedy, Ghandhi, Napolean, Alexander the great or Thatcher etc. Hence the leaders tend to be at the top or head of countries or armies. So too, business
leaders, who we tend to think of as the top persons in organisations. However,
business leaders can be at all levels in an organisation. To be classed as a successful leader in the organisation we need to exercise more than managerial skills, we need leadership skills as well, Shackleton (1995)
The term leadership means different things to different people. It is a word taken from
the common vocabulary and incorporated into the technical vocabulary of a scientific discipline without being precisely redefined. As a consequence, it carries extraneous
connotations that create ambiguity of meaning (Janda, 1960). Further confusion is
caused by the use of other imprecise terms such as power, authority, management,
administration, control, and supervision to describe the same phenomena.
Researchers usually define leadership according to their own individual perspective
and the- aspect of the phenomenon of most interest to them. After a comprehensive
review of the leadership literature, Stogdill (1974) concluded, "there are almost as
many definitions of leadership as there are persons who have attempted to define the
concept. " Leadership has been defined in terms of individual traits, behaviour,
influence over other people, interaction patterns, role relationships, occupation of an
administrative position, and perception by others regarding legitimacy of influence.
Some representative definitions over a half-century are as follows:
1. Leadership is "the behaviour of an individual when he/she is directing the
activities of a group toward a shared goal. " (Hemphill & Coons, 1957)
2. The process by which an agent induces a follower to behave in a desired
manner (Bennis, 1959).
21
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
3. Leadership is "interpersonal influence, exercised in a situation, and directed,
through the communication process, toward the attainment of a specified goal
or goals. " (Tannenbaum, Weschler, & Massarik, 1961)
4. Directing and coordinating the work of group members (Fiedler, 1967).
S. The presence of a particular influence relationship between two or more
persons (Hollander & Julian, 1969).
6. An interpersonal relation in which others comply because they want to, not because they have to (Merton, 1969).
Leadership is "the initiation and maintenance of structure in expectation and interaction. " (Stogdill, 1974)
8. Leadership is "the influential increment over and above mechanical
compliance with the routine directives of the organisation. " (Katz & Kahn,
1978)
9. The creative and directive force of morale (Munson, 198 1).
10. Leadership is "the process of influencing the activities of an organized group
toward goal achievement. " (Roach & Behling, 1984)
11. Transforming followers, creating visions of the goals that may be attained, and
articulating for the followers the ways to attain those goals (Bass, 1985; Tichy
Devanna, 1986).
12. Leadership refers to that part of organisational management that deals with the
direction and supervision of followers rather than, for example inventory
control, fiscal management, or customer relations (Fiedler & Garcia, 1987).
13. Leaders are those who consistently make effective contributions to social
order, and who are expected and perceived to do so. (Hosking, 1988)
14. Leadership is a process of giving purpose (meaningful direction) to collective
effort, and causing willing effort to be expended to achieve purpose. (Jacobs &
Jaques, 1990)
15. Actions that focus resources to create desirable opportunities (Campbell,
1991). 16. Leadership is not a position or a place in an organisation but a sense of
responsibility. In these turbulent times the responsibility is onerous and the
question of how to lead has become increasingly urgent (Jane, Andrea, Rosie,
2002).
22
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
Each group of researchers would focus on a different aspect of leadership, and each
would tell a different story regarding the leader, the followers, and the situation. Although such a large number of leadership definitions may seem confusing, it is
important to understand that there is no single "correct" definition. The various definitions can help us appreciate the multitude of factors that affect leadership, as
well as different perspectives from which to view it. For example, in Bennis's
definition, the word follower seems to confine leadership to downward influence in
hierarchical relationships; it seems to exclude informal leadership; Fiedler's definition
emphasizes the directing and controlling aspects of leadership, and thereby may de-
emphasize emotional aspects of leadership. The emphasis Merton placed on followers
"wanting to" comply with a leader' wishes seems to exclude coercion of any kind as a leadership tool. Further, it becomes problematic to identify ways in which a leadees,
actions are "really" leadership, if followers voluntarily comply when a leader with
considerable potential coercive power merely asks others to do something without
explicitly threatening them. Similarly, Campbell used the phrase desirable
opportunities precisely to distinguish between leadership and tyranny.
All considered, I believe the definition provided by Roach and Behling (1984) to be a
fairly comprehensive and helpful one, because in a manufacturing organisation the
successful leadership is one that is capable of achieving its organisational
goals/targets. Therefore, this research also defines leadership as "the process of
influencing an organized group towards accomplishing its goals. " One aspect of this
definition is particularly worth noting, leadership is a social influence process shared
among all members of a group. Leadership is not restricted to the influence exerted by
someone in a particular position or role; followers are part of the leadership process
too.
Most definitions of leadership reflect the assumption that it involves a social influence
process, whereby intentional influence is exerted by one person over other people to
structure the activities and relationships in a group or organisation. The numerous definitions of leadership that have been proposed appear to have little else in common.
The definitions differ in many respects, including who exerts influence, the intended
purpose of the influence, the manner in which influence is exerted, and the outcome of
23
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
the influence attempt. The differences are not just a case of scholarly nitpicking. There
is deep disagreement about identification of leaders and leadership processes. Differences among researchers in their conception of leadership lead to differences in
the choice of phenomena to investigate and to differences in interpretation of the
results. The American guru on management Peter Drucker (1955) equates
management with leadership, defining one in terms of others. The role of the manager, he argues, is to provide leadership. He states, "A manger is the dynamic, life-giving
element in every business. Without his/her leadership 'the resources of production'
remain resources and never become production. In a competitive economy, above all
the quality and performance of the managers determine the success of a business.
Indeed they determine its survival. For the quality and performance of its managers is
the only effective advantage an enterprise in a competitive economy can have. "
2.3 Leadership Approach
Formal research on the subject of leadership has been continuing among social
scientists since the beginning of the twentieth century, Stogdill (1948), Yukl (1989,
1994,1998,2002), Bass (1981,1990,1994,1998,2002), Kirkpatrick and Locke
(1991), Shackleton (1995), Daft (2002). As a result, four different schools of thought
have emerged. One tries to explain leadership in terms of general traits or
characteristics practised. The second looks at behaviour in terms of managerial or
administrative style. The third theory explains leadership in terms of situational traits
or effective response in specific circumstances with followers. The fourth, focuses on
situational behaviour, but emphasises learning a repertoire of responses to varied
circumstances and people.
23.1 Trait Approach
One of the earliest approaches for studying leadership was the trait approach as
favoured by Yukl (1991,1994,1998), Shackleton (1995), and Daft (2002). The trait
approach emphasises the personal attributes of leaders. Underlying this approach was
the assumption that some people are natural leaders who are endowed with certain
traits not possessed by other people, Kirkpatrick & Locke (1991). In a 1948 literature
review by Stogdill greatly discouraged many leadership researchers from studying
traits, but industrial psychologists interested in improving managerial selection
24
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
continued to conduct trait research. The focus in this section of research was on managerial effectiveness rather than emergent leadership (Lord, DeVader, & Alliger, 1986). Early leadership theories attributed managerial success to possession of extraordinary abilities such as tireless energy, penetrating intuition, uncanny foresight,
and irresistible persuasive powers. Hundreds of trait studies were conducted during
the 1930s and "1940s to discover these elusive qualities, but this massive research effort failed to find any traits that would guarantee leadership success. One reason for
the failure was a lack of attention to intervening variables in the causal chain that
could explain how traits could affect a delayed outcome such as group performance or leader advancement. However, as evidence from better designed research slowly accumulated over the years, researchers have made progress in discovering how leader
attributes are related to leadership behaviour and effectiveness.
23.2 Behaviour Approach
In the 1950s when researchers became discouraged with the trait approach, they began
to pay closer attention to what managers actually do on the job, Yukl (1994). The
behaviour research falls into two general subcategories. One subcategory is the
research on the nature of managerial work, Daft (2002). This research examined how
managers spend their time, and it sought to describe the content of managerial
activities, using content categories referred to as managerial roles, functions, and
responsibilities. The research on managerial work relies mostly on descriptive
methods such as direct observation, diaries, job description questionnaires, and
anecdotes obtained from interviews. Another subcategory of research on managerial behaviour compares the behaviour of effective and ineffective leaders, Yukl (1994,
1998).
Researchers at the University of Michigan and Ohio State University carried out
research on leadership behaviour. The major objective of Ohio State University
research was to identify effective leadership behaviour, and the focus of Michigan
research was the identification of relationships among leader behaviour, group
processes, and measure of group performance. Initial research was a series of field
studies with a variety of leaders, including section managers, in an insurance company
25
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
(Katz, Maccoby, & Morse, 1950), supervisors in a large manufacturing company (Katz & Kahn, 1952), and supervisors of railroad section gangs (Katz, Maccoby,
Gurin, Floor, 1951). Information about managerial approach was collected with interviews and questionnaires. Objective measures of group productivity were used to
classify managers as relatively effective or ineffective. The results of these studies
were summarised by Likert (196 1). The research found that three types of leadership
behaviour differentiated between effective and ineffective managers as Task-oriented
behaviour, Relationship-oriented behaviour, and participative leadership behaviour.
The differences between Ohio & Michigan studies leave us with some questions. Are
effective leaders only concerned with people or concerned with both task and people? Is concern for both possible? Shackleton (1995).
23.3 Power-Influence Approach
The power-influence research attempts to understand leadership by examining
influence-processes between leaders and followers. Like most of the research on traits
and behaviour, some of the power-influence research also has a leader-centred
perspective with an implicit assumption that causality is unidirectional (leaders act
and followers react). The power-influence approach seeks to explain leadership
effectiveness in terms of the amount and type of power possessed by a leader and how
power is exercised, Yukl (1994,1998,2002). Power is viewed as important not only for influencing followers, but also for influencing peers, superiors, and people outside
the organisation, such as clients and suppliers. The favourite methodology has been
the use of survey questionnaires to relate leader power to various measures of
leadership effectiveness. Powers exercised by leaders/managers are categorised as
position power, (Brass & Burakhardt, 1993) which can be as a result of a person
position in the organisation; Personnel Power (Brass & Burakhardt, 1993), this may be
due to using logic to influence others. Reward Power (French & Raven, 1959),
described this as the power to influence followers through the ability of leaders to
provide followers with something they deserve. Coercive power (Hinkin &
Schriesheim, 1989), this power relies on threats and punishments to influence the
behaviour of followers. Legitimate power (Kahn & Kram, 1994), this is due to the
right of a leader to command. Referent power (Raja, 1985) this may be when a
26
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadershi2 in Manufacturing Organisations
follower looks to the leader as a model. Expert power (Podsakoff & Schriesheim,
1985) this is when a leader demonstrates knowledge beyond that which is held by
his/her followers. Information power (Raven 1974) this refers to holding information
that follower need to do their work. Power-influcnce research by Hinkin & Schriesheim (1989); Rahim (1989); Yukl &
Falbe (1991) has used questionnaires and descriptive incidents to determine how
leaders influence the attitudes and behaviour of followers. The study of influence
tactics can be viewed as a bridge linking the power-influence approach and the
behaviour approach. Different influence tactics are compared in terms of their relative
effectiveness for getting people to do what the leader wants.
Power-influence research by Podsakoff and Schriesheira (1985); (Hinkin &
Schriesheim (1989); Rahim(1989); Schriesheim, Hinkin, &Podsakoff (1991); Yukl
& Falbe 1991) have found that expert and referent power were positively correlated
with follower satisfaction and performance. The results for legitimate, reward, and
coercive power were inconsistent, and correlations between each of these power
sources and criteria were usually negative or non-significant rather than positive. Overall, the results suggest that effective leaders rely more on expert and referent
power to influence followers. However, Warren (1968) found that expert, referent,
and legitimate power were correlated with attitudinal commitment by followers,
whereas reward and coercive power with behavioural compliance. According to
Tbambain and Gemmill (1974) the primary reason given for compliance was the
leader's legitimate power, and reward power was associated with commitment. Yukl
and Falbe (1991) found that legitimate power was the most common reason given for
compliance with requests from the boss, even though it was not correlated with task
commitment
A different line of power-influencc research views influence as a reciprocal process
between leaders and followers. From this perspective, power resides in followers as
well as in the leader, and leadership effectiveness cannot be understood without
examining how leaders and followers influence each other over time. One major
question addressed by power-influence approach research considers the way power is
acquired and lost by various individuals in a group.
27
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
23.4 Situational Approach
The situational approach emphasizes the importance of contextual factors such as the
nature of the work performed by the leader's unit, the nature of the external
environment, and characteristics of followers, Yukl (1994,1998), Daft (2002). The
situational research and theory has two major subcategories. One line of research treats managerial behaviour as a dependent variable, and researchers seek to discover
how this behaviour is influenced by aspects of the situation such as the type of
organisation or managerial position. The situational approach investigates, how
managers cope with demands and constraints from followers, peers, superiors, and
outsiders (e. g., customers, government officials). The primary research method is a
comparative study of two or more situations in which managerial activities or behaviours are measured with leader behaviour description questionnaires, job
description questionnaires, or direct observation, House & Dessler (1974).
Researchers seek to discover the extent to which managerial work is the same or
unique across different types of organisations and levels of management, YukI (1989).
Even though this comparative research was not designed to identify what behaviour is
effective in what situation, it is relevant for understanding managerial effectiveness, because effectiveness depends on how well a manager resolves role conflicts, copes
with demands, recognizes opportunities, and overcomes constraints, Porter & Lawler
(1968). The other subcategory of situational research attempts to identify aspects of
the situation that moderate the relationship of leader behaviours (or traits) to
leadership effectiveness, Fiedler (1967). The assumption is that different behaviour
patterns (or trait patterns) will be effective in different situations, and that the same behaviour pattern (or trait pattern) is not optimal in all situations, Vecchio (1987).
'Ibeories describing this relationship are called "contingency theories,, of leadership,
Northhouse (2004). The contingency theories can be contrasted with "urliversal
theories" of leadership effectiveness, which specify an optimal pattern of beliaviour
for all situations.
2.4 Contingency Approach
There are four well-known contingency theories of leadership; all four addrm'- certain
aspects of the leader, the followers, and the situation, Yukl (1994,1998), Daft (2002),
28
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturinjz Organisations
Bass (1981,1990,2002). These four theories also share several other similarities. First, because they are theories rather than someone's personal opinions, these four
models have been the focus of a considerable amount of empirical research over the
years. Second, these theories implicitly assume that leaders are able to accurately diagnose or assess key aspects of the followers and the leadership situation. Third,
with the exception of the contingency model (Fiedler, 1967), leaders are assumed to be able to act in a flexible manner. In other words, leaders can and should change their behaviours as situational and follower characteristics change. Fourth, a correct match between situational and follower characteristics and leaders' behaviours is assumed to
have a positive effect on group or organisational outcomes, Ashour (1973). Thus,
these theories maintain that leadership effectiveness is maximized when leaders
correctly make their behaviours contingent on certain situational and follower
characteristics. Because of these similarities, Chemers (1985) argued that these four
theories were more similar than they were different. He said they differed primarily in
terms of the types of situational and follower characteristics that various leader
behaviours should be contingent for some different perspectives on theories of
leadership.
Contingency approaches have in common an attempt to address the question: when is
one type of leadership behaviour more appropriate than another? The answer is, it all depends. Style or behaviour is dependent (contingent) upon the context. What
variables are considered as the context varies from one contingency model to another. Although many of the behavioural approaches to leadership observed that there was
no one best style for all situations, it is the contingency models, which attempt to
establish how the situation changes the behaviour. So contingency theories are
complex. They have to set out which leader behaviours, should change, which aspects
of the context are most crucial, and how the specific leader behaviour and the situation interact. Some of the more influential contingency theories, namely the Situational
Leadership Theory of Hersey and Blanchard; Fiedler's Contingency Theory; the
Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative Model, and House's Path-Goal Theory are described
as follows:
29
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
2.4.1 Situational Leadership Theory
Situational Leadership Theory takes as its starting point the fact that there are two
dimensions of leader behaviour; relationship behaviours and task behaviours. These
are independent of each other, Shackleton (1995), YukI (1994,1998), Bass (1981,
1990). Relationship behaviour is the amount of support, recognition, and personal
encouragement the leader extends to followers. Task behaviour is the amount of direction and structure the leader provides. These four styles are structuring, coaching,
encouraging, and delegating. The assumption is that there is no one best style. On the
contrary, one type of behaviour is more appropriate in one situation than another. By
using relationship and task behaviour in differing amounts at different times a leader
can help followers become more productive and fulfilled in their jobs.
By'situation' in Situational Leadership Theory, Hersey and Bianchard (1988) mean:
" The willingness of people to do their work assignments;
" 'Me ability of people to do their work assignments;
" The nature of the work they do;
" The climate of the organisation.
Although some reference is made in the theory to the last two categories in this list, it
is the characteristics of followers, not the work itself or the external and internal
environment of the organisation, which the theory mostly concentrates on. A key
variable here is follower maturity (called 'readiness' in some versions of the theory).
Follower maturity refers to the followers understanding of the job and commitment to
it (see Table 2.1). When a follower has low levels of maturity, high task, and low
relationship behaviour is seen a§ being the best combination. This is the structuring
style. As follower maturity grows, the need for relationship-type behaviour on the part
of the leader increases and task behaviour declines. At the highest level of maturity-
high levels of relationship or task behaviour are unnecessary for employee
performance.
This is the delegating style. Maturity applies to a task not to a person. Someone may
have high maturity for one task and low maturity for another. It is for this reason that
Figure 2.1 shows a bell-shaped curve. The model argues that for a particular task an
30
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
employee may start in the Sl box and move through S2 and S3 to S4 over time. For
many tasks, a follower may never reach S4, perhaps due to the lack of opportunity to learn the task and feel sufficiently confident to tackle it when it is delegated.

2.4.2 Fiedler's Contingency Theory
Fiedler developed one of the first true contingency theories of the leadership process
(Fiedler, 1967). The theory states that leader performance is contingent upon both the
leader's personal characteristics and the degree to which the leader controls the
situation, Bass (1981,1990), Shhackleton (1995), YukI (1994, (1998). The personal
characteristics comprise a motivational system, according to Fiedler, how positively
the leader views his or her least preferred co-worker (LPC). The LPC is a key variable
in the theory. Leaders are asked to nominate the person they have least liked, of all
those they have worked with. This becomes the least preferred co-worker. This person
is then rated on a set of eighteen 8-point scales, one scale ranging from 1---unfriendly
to 8= friendly, and another scale ranging from 1=inconsiderate to 8=considerate. A
low LPC score means that leaders describe their least preferred co-worker in negative
terms, while a high LPC score indicates a more positive description. High LPC leaders
32
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
are classified as relationship, or people, oriented (they tend to feel fairly positive even
about people they don't like very much); low LPC individuals are classified as task
oriented. In addition, to the LPC, there are three contingency variables; namely group
atmosphere, task structure, and leader's position power. They determine the degree to
which the situation is favourable to the leader by providing control over followers.
Fiedler divides the three variables into high and low, and combines them as shown in
Figure 2.2. This basic contingency model shows the results from Fiedler's early
research. The research indicates that where the situation was either favourable to the
leader (situations 1,2 and 3) or highly unfavourable (situation 8) group performance
was best if the leader had a low LPC score (i. e. was task oriented). In contrast,
situations that were moderate or low in favourability to the leader, high LPC scores
(i. e. person oriented leaders) had the best group performance. Favourable or
unfavourable situations refer to the extent to which the leader has control over the
situation.
Most favourable situation Lcast favourable situation for leader for leader

Group Atmosphere Good Good Good Good Poor Poor Poor Poor
Task Structure High High Low Low High High Low Low
Leader Position Power Strong Weak Strong Weak Strong Weak Strong Weak
Desirable leader Low Low Low High High High High Low
LPC LPC LPC LPC LPC LPC LPC LPC
Figure 2.2 Fiedler's Contingency Theory.
A basic premise of the theory is that leadership behaviour is a personality trait and so
an individual's LPC score is relatively stable. It is more sensible to match a leader's,
style with the situation, rather than expect the individual to change to adapt to
different situations. When a leader's style and the situation do not match, the only
available course of action is to change the situation or change the leader. Fiedler
suggests that a leader should deliberately try to change the situation favourableness by
enhancing relations with followers, changing the degree of structure in a task or
33
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
gaining more formal power. The aim is to improve group performance by making the
situation more closely fit one's personal leadership style.
2.4.3 The Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative Model
Vroom and Yetton (1973) developed a contingency theory of leadership decision-
making. This addressed the question of how much leaders should involve followers in
decision-making. It is a normative theory because it sets out rules that it proposes leaders should follow in order to make the best decisions in the circumstances. The
original theory was updated and extended by Vroom and Jago(1988).
Vroom and Yetton proposed that leaders usually adopt one of five distinct methods for
reaching decisions. These are set out in Table 2-2. The five methods reflect a
continuum ranging from highly autocratic to highly participative approaches. The Al
category refers to Autocratic 1, where the leader chooses to make the decision alone. The Roman numeral I or II refers to the degree of autocracy. All is similar, but the
leader requests information from others before deciding alone, Cl refers to
Consultation 1, and involves sharing the problem with others on a one-to-one basis.
Again, CII is similar but the leader consults others in a group setting, G is short for
Group and GII refers to group decision-making with consensus as the goal.
34
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational LeadershiR in Manufacturing Organisations
Table 2.2 Leadership decision styles
Here are five styles, which you, acting as a leader, might use in reaching a decision. They differ only in the amount of participation, which you allow your followers and thus the degree to which they can influence the final decision. 'Followers' refers to those who report directly to you. Note that with each style, you take full responsibility. In no case do you give up either the authority or responsibility for the final decision.
Style Description Al You decide alone. You make the decision without discussing the situation
with anyone. You rely entirely on personal knowledge or information available in written documents.
All You seek information and then decide alone. You seek additional information from one or more of your followers to aff ive at a decision. You may or may not describe the problem to them, but you solicit information only, not solutions, or suggestions.
C1 You consult with individuals and then decide alone, Here you share the problem with selected followers, individually. You gather additional information from them and seek their advice about possible solutions to the problem. Still, you make the decision.
C11 You consult with your entire vow and then decide alone, Using this style, you meet with your followers in a group and discuss the possible alternatives, essentially using them as consultants. You may use their feelings and opinions as additional input, but you retain the final decision power.
GII You share the problem with your grou2. and vou all mutually decide what to do. Here you give your followers full participation in the decision-making process. You may define the problem for them, provide relevant information, and participate in the discussion as any other member, but you do not use your position as leader to influence them. The group is the decision-maker, and you accept not only its decision, but also the responsibility for it. Your description to others will be 'We decided to..., not 'The group decided to or'I decided to ... 'or I
Source: Adapted from Vroom and Yetton (1973).
Vroom and Yetton gave seven key questions that leaders should consider when
making a decision:
QR (Quality Requirement)
is there a quality consideration, which indicates one solution, produces a better
outcome?
2 CR (Commitment Requirement)
Is the commitment of followers critical to effective implementation?
35
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
3 LI (Leader Information) Does the leader have the information needed to make a good decision?
4 PS (Problem Structure)
Is the problem well structured, e. g. does the leader know which followers to contact?
5 CP (Commitment Probability)
If the leader decides alone, is it reasonably certain that the decision would be accepted by followers?
6 GC (Goal Congruence)
Do followers share the organisational goals to be obtained in solving this problem?
7 CO (Follower Conflict)
Is conflict among followers over preferred solutions likely?
The theory addresses the issue of how a leader should choose one decision style rather
than another. It does not suggest one best style. Rather, it points to questions leaders
should ask themselves before involving others. Answering those questions is a balancing act between a number of variables, especially time decision quality and follower satisfaction and development.
2.4.4 Path-Goal Theory:
Another contingency approach is path-goal theory, developed by House (1971) and
others. It takes expectancy theory as its starting point, which House then adapted to
leadership theory, house & Mitchell (1974).
Expectancy theory concerns itself with the process of motivation. It states that people
choose what to do in a given circumstance based on a calculation of the expectancy, instrumentality, and valence in the situation.
- Expectancy is the belief that your effort will result in performance.
- Instrumentality is the belief that your performance will be, rewarded.
- Valence is how much you value the reward or outcome.
36
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
The fundamental tenet of path-goal theory is that followers will react favourably to a leader to the extent that they perceive and calculate that she or he will help them to
attain goals. If a leader clarifies the nature of the tasks and smoothes the path to the
goal by reducing or eliminating obstacles, then the followers will work hard. This is
because they perceive (have an expectancy) that working hard leads to (is instrumental
in) high performance and high performance leads to valued rewards (the rewards have
high valence) such as pay or status, Shackleton (1995).
The theory states that there are four types of leader behaviour, which can affect
motivation of followers, Indvik (1986):
1. Instrumental leadership (sometimes called 'directive'): This involves giving
specific guidance to followers, clarifying their role asking them to follow standard
rules, explaining how work should be accomplished, and so on. It is similar to the
high-structure, low-consideration style in the Ohio studies or the high-task, low-
people approach in the Situational Leadership model of Hersey and Blanchard.
2. Supportive leadership: This involves being friendly and approachable to
followers, sensitive to their needs, and concerned for their well-being and status. It is
similar to the low-structure, high-consideration of the Ohio studies or the low-task,
high-people approach of the situational leadership model.
3. Participative leadership: This involves sharing information with followers,
consulting with them and involving them before making decisions. It is like the
high/high of the Ohio studies, or the situational leadership model.
4. Achievement-oriented leadership: This involves setting challenging goals and
emphasizing excellence while simultaneously showing confidence in followers' ability
to achieve those high goals.
House (1977) points out that all of these four styles can be used by a single leader,
depending on the circumstances. Showing such flexibility is, in fact, one feature of an
effective leader. Some of the main theories on leadership styles are described as
follows:
2.5 Charismatic Leadcrship:
Charisma is a Greek word that means divinely inspired gift, such as the ability to
perform miracles or predict future events. Although psychologists played a major role
37
Behavioural Aspects of Transfomational Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
in the development of all of the leadership theories, most of the charismatic leadership
research from the 1920s to the 1970s was accomplished by historians, political
scientists, and sociologists, Yukl (1994,1998,2002). Of this early research, probably the single most important work was written by Weber (1947). Weber was a sociologist
primarily interested in the forces of authority in society and how these forces changed
over time. Weber maintained that societies could be identified in terms of one of three
types of authority systems: traditional, legal-rational, and charismatic. Charisma is
believed to result from follower perceptions of leader qualities and behaviour. These
perceptions are influenced by the context of the leadership situation and the follower's
individual and collective needs. Theories of charismatic leadership within
organisations; are described here.
2.5.1 House's Charismatic Leadership Theory
House (1977) proposed a theory to explain charismatic leadership in terms of a set of
testable propositions involving observable processes rather than folklore and
mystique. The theory is based on findings from a variety of social science disciplines.
Ile theory identifies how charismatic leaders behave, how they differ from other
people, and the conditions where they are most likely to flourish. The inclusion of
leader traits, behaviour, influence, and situational conditions, makes this theory more
comprehensive in scope than most leadership theories. The extent to which a leader is
charismatic is determined by the following indicators, Yukl (1994):
1. Followers'trust in the correctness of the leader's beliefs.
2. Similarity of followers' beliefs to those of the leader.
3. Unquestioning acceptance of the leader by followers.
4. Followers' affection for the leader.
5. Willing obedience to the leader by followers.
6. Emotional involvement of followers in the mission of the organisation.
7. Heightened performance goals of followers.
8. Belief by followers that they are able to contribute to the success of the group's
mission.
38
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational LeadershiI2 in Manufacturing Organisations
According to the theory, charismatic leaders are likely to have a strong need for
power, high self-confidence, and a strong conviction in their own beliefs and ideals. A
strong need for power motivates the leader to attempt to influence followers. Self-
confidence and strong convictions increase followers'trust in the leader's judgment. A
leader without confidence and convictions is less likely to try to influence people, and
when an influence attempt is made, it is less likely to be successful.
Charismatic leaders are likely to articulate ideological goals relating the mission of the
group to deeply rooted values, ideals, and aspirations shared among followers. By
providing an appealing vision of what the future could be like, charismatic leaders
give the work of the group more meaning and inspire enthusiasm and excitement
among followers. The net effect is greater emotional involvement by followers in the
mission of the group and greater commitment to its objectives, YukI (1994,1998).
Since charismatic leaders rely on appeals to the aspirations and ideals of followers, a
necessary condition is the possibility of defining task roles in ideological terms that
will appeal to followers. Charismatic leaders are likely to set an example in their own
behaviour for followers to imitate. This role-modelling involves more than just
imitation of leader behaviour. If followers admire and identify with a leader, they are likely to emulate the leader's beliefs and values. Charismatic leaders are likely to
communicate high expectations about follower performance while simultaneously
expressing confidence in followers, Bass (1981,1990).
Charismatic leaders are likely to behave in ways that arouse motives relevant to the
group's mission. Arousal of achievement motivation is relevant for complex,
challenging tasks requiring initiative, calculated risk taking, personal responsibility,
and persistent effort. Arousal of power motivation is relevant for tasks requiring
followers to be competitive, persuasive, and aggressive. Arousal of affiliation
motivation is relevant for tasks requiring cooperation, teamwork, and mutual support
among followers. Motives are aroused by giving inspirational talks with emotional
appeals to followers' values, with emphasis on such things as "loyalty, " "being the
best, " and "defeating the enemy", Yukl (1994).
39
Behavioural Aspects of Trans formaCional Leadership in Manufacturing Organisations
Empirical studies have been conducted to directly test the theory. Smith (1982) had
people nominate charismatic and non-charismatic leaders, then asked followers of the leaders to describe them on questionnaires measuring the indicators of follower
reaction. The results showed that followers of charismatic leaders had more self-
assurance and considered the work as being more meaningful. However, contradictory to the theory, they did not display unquestioning obedience to the leader.
Howell and Frost (1988) conducted a laboratory study in which actors were coached
to exhibit different patterns of leadership behaviour toward followers who were
college students. The charismatic leader explained the importance of the work, indicated high performance expectations, expressed confidence that followers would
achieve these high expectations, empathized with the needs of followers, and acted
confident and dynamic (e. g., used a captivating tone of voice, maintained eye contact, leaned toward the subject, alternatively paced or sat on the edge of the desk).
Followers of a charismatic leader had higher performance, greater satisfaction, and
less role conflict than followers of directive or considerate leaders. However, the study
did not test whether a charismatic leader is necessarily any better than a non-
charismatic leader who shows concern both for the task and for his people.
A study by Podsakoff et al (1990) asked followers to describe their leader as
charismatic or transformational using a questionnaire. Leaderss who articulated a
vision, modelled desirable behaviours and had high performance expectations of followers (all three behaviours characteristic of charismatic leaders) had followers
who trusted their leader more, were more loyal and were more motivated to do extra
work or to take more responsibility. Work by Howell and Higgins (1990) involved content-analysing interviews with
executives in 28 Canadian organisations. Some executives were seen as 'product
champion', meaning that they had led the introduction of innovations in the
organisation, such as new products or methods. These product champions showed
greater evidence of three of House's charismatic behaviours than did executives who
were not product champions. These behaviours were communicating ideological
goals, and showing both self-confidence and confidence in followers.
40
An intriguing study was conducted by House and his colleagues on charismatic leadership in former presidents of the USA (House ct at 1991). They set out to test the
hypotheses from House's theory that charismatic American presidents would have
high need for power, that charismatic behaviour would be related to president
performance and that charismatic bchaviour would be more common among recent
presidents compared with presidents from the more distant past. Ile assumption of
greater frequency of charismatic presidents in recent years was bascd on the
hypotheses that charisma is associated with crises and that there arc more frequent
political crises nowadays, plus the fact that the role of the prcsidcnt has changed to
accentuate the visionary or ideological aspects of the role rather than the
administrative one. Thc decision as to who was a charismatic prcsidcntý and who not,
%N-as made by a panel of historians. They categoriscd 31 former presidents %vho had
lasted at least two years of their first term of officc. House ct at then content analysed
the prcsidcnts' inaugural speeches for power themes and images. To assess the
presidents' charismatic behaviour, they consulted biographies of cabinet members to
discover if presidents showed high levels of self-confidence, confidence on followers,
high expectations of followers and strong ideological commitment. Leadership
effectiveness was measured by ratings of prestige and greatness and by analysis of
their cconomic and social actions. Ile study provided good support for House's
theory. Need for power strongly predicted the level of charisma of presidents.
Charismatic bchaviours %,,, cre positively related to ratings of performance, as %vcrc the
frequency of crises. Charismatic Icadership was more often associated with recent
presidents rather than those in the more distant pasL
The potential impact of the vision articulated by charismatic leaders has been
illustrated in a study conducted by O'Connor, Mumford, Clifton, Gcssner, and
Connelly (1995). They obtained a sample of 80 notable historic leaders, half of'%vhom
were socialiscd and half pcrsonalised. Socialised charismatic leaders evidence
prosocial. visions whereas pcrsonaliscd charismatic leaders evidence visions bound up in their own individual concerns. Other studies by Hunt, Boal, and Dodge (1999)
Kirkpatrick and Locke (1996), and Yorges, Weiss and Strickland (1999) also indicate
that charismatic leaders, and the accompanying visions, may exert a marked impact on leader performance and prove capable of accounting for outstanding leadership.

Behavioural Aspccts of Transformational Lcadcrshi2 in Manufacturing Organisations
2.5.2 Bass Extension Of IIOUSC'3 Theory
Bass (1985) proposed an cxtcnsion of Housc's theory to include some additional
antcccdcnt conditions, leader attributes, and consequences of charismatic leadership.
According to Bass, charismatic leaders arc more than just conridcnt in their beliefs;
they see themselves having a supcr-natural purpose and destiny. Followers, for their
part, not only trust and rcspcct the leader; they may idolize and worship the leader as a
super-human hcro or spiritual figurc. Being viewed as larger than life, a charismatic lcadcr becomes the catalyst for psychodynarnic mechanisms of follo%vcrs, such as
projcction, rcprcssion, and rcgrcssion. Individual psycho-dynamics are magnificd by
group processes. A charismatic Icadcr is cspccially likcly to cmcrge when followcrs
share norms, bclicfs, and fantasies that can serve as the basis for cmotional and
rational appeals by the Icadcr.
Bass (1996) suggests that charismatic leaders differ greatly in their pragmatism, flexibility, opportunism, and manner of appeal. Charismatic leaders arc more likely to
emerge when an organisation is in a state of strcss and transition. Charisma is fostered
when formal authority has failed to deal Nvith a severe crisis and traditional values and beliefs arc questioned. Thus, charismatic leadership is more likely to be found in a
new organisation struggling to survive, or an old one that is failing, than in an old
organisation that is highly successful.
For example, Southwest Airlines is known for its remarkable productivity, 'which
constantly breaks industry standards (and for its charismatic leader, Herb Kelleher).
Many of the company's approaches are considered unconventional relative to the
airline industry. For example, while turnaround time at airport gates typically ranges from 30 to 50 minutes, Southwest is able to turn its planes around in under 15
minutes. This competence was borne out of necessity (Pctzingcr, 1995). In mid-1972,
when Southwest was in serious financial straits, the company was forced to sell one of its four 737 jets, which meant a 25% reduction in capacity. Employees realiscd that
layoffs would soon have to follow. Rather than face a layoff, the workforce proposed to company president Kelleher and senior management that Southwest maintain its
existing schedule built around four planes even though it would have only three
aircmft. To succeed, they would turn planes around 10 minutcs-an unheard-of feat for
42
the airline industry. Greater tcamwork and job redesigns %vcrc the solutions. Soon
supervisors and pilots wcrc assisting with baggage. Planes were restocked through the
rcar of the craft while passcngcrs were disembarking at the front. Flight services crews
worked their way up to the front of cach plane collecting trash and crossing scat belts
as passcngcrs dcplancd ahead of them. Tickets were collcctcd on the plane instead of
at the gate. No scat assignments meant that passcngcrs could move quickly into the
plane at a rapid but orderly pace. With these initiatives that broke industry rules, Southwest achieved its target of the 10-minute turnout, much to the shock of its
competitors. Out of sheer necessity, Soutll%vcst successfully clialicngcd tile status quo
of an industry, Pctzingcr (1995).
As CEO, Kelleher inspired thousands of employees to be passionate about Southwest
Airlines. When Kelleher sent a letter to the home of every Southwest employee asking
them to help cut costs, they responded immediately. Kelleher %vrote to each employee
aflcr the cost of jet fuel rose dramatically, pointing out that South%vcst's profitability
was injeopardy and asking that each worker help out by saving $5 per day. Within six
weeks, employees had implemented ideas that saved the company more than $2
million. Southwest hasn't lost profit margins since 1973, and its profit is the best in
the industry. While other airlines have suffered bankruptcies, crippling strikes even
failure, Southwest has thrived. Kelleher gives the credit to South%vcst's employees.
"There's no magic formula, " he says. " Its just a bunch of people taking pride in what
they're doing. " Part of the success, no doubt, is due to Kelleher's charismatic
leadership, Hal Lancaster (1999), Daft (2002).
2.53 Conger and Kanungo's Charismatic Theory
Conger and Kanungo (1987) proposed a theory of charismatic leadership based on the
assumption that charisma is an attributional phenomenon. Followers attribute certain
charismatic qualities to a leader based on their observations of the Icadces behaviour.
Conger and Kanungo identify aspects of leader behaviour responsible for these
attribuflons, drawing on the findings in research comparing charismatic and non-
charismatic leaders, Conger and Kanungo, (1992). The bchaviours arc not assumed to be present in every charismatic leader to the same extent, and the relative importance
43
of cach aspcct of bchaviour for attribution of charisma dcpcnds to somc cxtcnt on the Icadcrship situation. Ilic major fcaturcs of the thcory arc; cxtrcmity of the vision, high
personal risk, use of unconventional strategies, accurate assessment of the situation, follower disenchantment, communication of sclf confldcncc, and use of pcrsonal
powcr.
A major concern of the theory is the types of behaviour on the part of leader that make it likely that they will be seen as charismatic. Congcr and Kanungo do not view
charisma as some mystical or extraordinary quality possessed by just a few
exceptional people, as Weber did. They imply that there is a set of ordinary behaviours, which can be learned or adopted by a wide range of people. Charisma is
more likely to be attributed to leaders who describe a vision, House and Shamir,
(1993) paints a picture, which is very different from the existing state of affairs. The
vision must not be so different that fbllo%vcrs view it as bizarre, and nor should it be so
similar to the status quo that it is not seen as a radical departure, Congcr and Kanungo,
(1998). Non-charismatic leaders opt for small incremental changes, or what Kirton
(1984) describes as adoption (doing things better) rather than innovation (doing
things differently). This vision dcrines the purpose of the change in a way that gives
meaning to the tasks demanded of followcrs, a prcncss Conger (1991) describes as 'framing'. They use personal power, perhaps based on their knowledge, expertise, to
persuade and influence followers, rather than position power. Persuasive appeals
through the use of emotive phrases, which capture the imagination of follo%vcrs', arc
useful to convey the vision and motivate others towards its accomplishment, Shackleton (1995).
2.6 Transactional Leadership
Hollander (1978) has generalized the process of influence and counterinflucncc
among members in leaderless groups to describe the power and influence leaders have
in formal organisations. He called this generalization of social exchange theory the
transactional approach to leadership. The transactional approach to IcadcrshiP has
several fundamental tenets. First, the leader-folioNvcr relationship can be construed
partly as an exchange of benefits. Ilus, leaders give something to followcrs (often not tangible or monetary) and also get something from them in return. One of the most
44
important benefits that can be cxchangcd is social approval. 11c Icadces bcncrits often include status and dic opportunity to exert influcncc and exercise authority. Some of the important but subtle bcncrits leaders provide to followers include structuring and directing their activities. This includes the Icadces "dcrinition of reality, " that is, his
analysis of the environmental pressures and opportunities the group faces.
Bccause of the contingencies of these mutual bcncrits, a sort of "psychological
contact" exists bct%vccn leaders and follo%N-crs. In some cases, it litcrally may be a
written contract (e. g., certain labour-managcmcnt issues), but more often it is not.
Whcthcr formal or informal, ho%vcvcr, the psychological contract involves the parties'
undcrstanding of their mutual rights and obligations, and dictates to a large extent the
amount of po%vcr leaders can use to change the atfitudcs and bchaviours of follo%vcrs.
From this perspective, cffective leadership exists when everyone pcrccivcs a fair
exchange of benefits. If leaders receive benefits substantially disproportionate to their
(perceived) contributions, ho%vcvcr, followcrs may fccl a sense of injustice. Followcrs
may also fccl a sense of inequity in the relationship if they perceive the Icadcr as
callous or indifferent to their interests. Moreover, followcrs may fccl frustrated if the
leader makes mistakes, especially if the group suffers as a result of the Icadces not
listening to follower's input or advice. Any of these cvcntualitics may prompt
followcrs to redress perceived inequities in someway. In the corporate scctor, this can
include threats of work stoppage, industrial sabotage, or strikes.
2.7 Bass Theory of Transformational and Transactional Leadership
Bass (1985) believed that transformational leaders possessed those charismatic leader
characteristics described carlicr, he used followers' perceptions or reactions to
dctcrminc %vhcthcr or not a leader was trans formational. Thus, transformational
leaders possess good visioning, rhetorical, and impression management skills, and
they use these skills to develop strong emotional bonds with followcrs. According to
Bass, transactional leaders do not possess these leadership characteristics, nor arc they
able to develop strong emotional bonds with follo%vcrs or inspire followers to do more
than they thought they could. Instead, transactional leaders wcre believed to motivate followers by setting goals and promising re%%ards for desired performance.

2.8 Transformational and Charismatic Leadership
The idcalizcd influence aspect of transformational Icadership is vcry close to the
charismatic leadership. Ilowcvcr, according to Bass, there arc major diffcrcnccs
bct%%vcn trans formational and charismatic leaders. Charisma is a nccessary but not
sufficicnt component of trans formational leadcrship. Some Icadcrs may be
charismatic, but may havc no trans form ational Icadcrship characteristics.
2.9 Burn's Theory of Transforming Leadership
Bums (1978) described transformational leadership as a process in which "leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of morality and motivation. "
Transformational leaders seek to raise the consciousness of followcrs by appealing to
higher ideals and moral values such as liberty, justice, equality, peace, and humanitarian, and not to baser emotions such as fear, grccd, jealousy, or hatred. In
terms of MasloNvs (19S4) need hicrarchy, trans formational Icaders activate higher-
order needs in follo%%, crs. Followers are clevatcd from their "everyday sclvcs" to their
"better selves. " For Bums, transformational leadership may be exhibited by anyone in
the organisation in any type of position. It may involve people influencing pccrs and
superiors as well as followers. It can occur in the day-to-day acts of ordinary people, but it is not ordinary or common.
Burns contrasts transformational leadership with transactional leadersMip. The latter
type of leadership motivates followers by appealing to their self-interest. Transactional leadership involves values, but they are values relevant to the exchange
process, such as honesty, fairness, responsibility, and reciprocity. Bums also differentiates transactional and transformational leadership from influence based on bureaucratic authority. Bureaucratic organisations cmpbasizc legitimate power and
respect for rules and tradition, rather than influence based either on exchange or
inspiration.
For Burns, leadership is a process, not a set of discrete acts. Bums (1978) described
leadership as a strcarn of evolving interrelationships in which leaders arc continuously
46
cvoking motivational rcsponscs from follo%vcrs and modifying tlicir bchaviour as thcy
mcct rcsponsivcncss or rcsistancc, in a ccasclcss proccss of flow and countcr flow.
2.10 I]aS3TIicoryofTransforniationalLeadcrsliip
Bass (1985) dcrincs transfonnational leadership in terms of the leader's cffect on followcrs. Followers fccl trust, admiration, loyalty, and respect towards the Icadcr, and
they arc motivatcd to do more than they originally expected to do. A leader can
transform followers by (1) making them more a%k= of flic importance and value of
task outcomes, (2) inducing them to transcend their o%%m self intcrcst for flic sake of
the organisation or team, and (3) activating their highcr-ordcr needs.
Bass vie%,., s transformational leadership as more than just another term for charisma. Some charismatic people do not have any systematic trans formational cffcct on followers, even though followers may identify with a celebrity and imitate his or her
behaviour and appearance. According to Bass (1985) "Charisma is a necessary
ingredient of transformational leadership, but by itself it is not sufticicnt to account for
the transformational process. " Transformational leaders influence followers by
arousing strong emotions and identification %Nith the leader, but they may also
transform followers by serving as a coach, teacher, and mentor.
lie conceptions of transformational leadership proposed by Bass and Bums are
similar in many respects, but there arc also some differences. First, Burns limits
transformational leadership to enlightened leaders who appeal to positive moral values
and highcr-order needs of followers. In contrast, for Bass a transformational leader is
one who activates folio-wcr motivation and increases follower commitment regardless
of %vhcthcr the cffects ultimately bcnerit followers. Bass %vould not exclude leaders
who appeal to lo%N-er-ordcr needs such as safety, subsistence, and economic needs.
With respect to transactional leadership, once again there are similarities but also
differences bct%,,, ccn the two theorists' conceptions. Like Bums, Bass views
transactional leadership as an exchange of rewards for compliance. However, Bass
defines transactional leadership in broader tcnns than Bums. According to Bass, it
47
Behavioural Aspccis of Trans formation if Leadership In Manufacturing Organisations
includes not only the use of incentives and contingent rc%vards to influence
motivation, but also clarification of die %%vrk required to obtain rcwards. Bass sees theories such as the Vertical Dyad Linkage theory and the Path-Goal theory as descriptions of transactional leadership. lie vicws transformational and transactional leadership as distinct but not mutually exclusive processes, and he recognizes that tile
same leader may use both types of leadership at different times in different situations.
2.11 Transformational Behaviours
The original formulation of the theory (Bass, 1985) included three components of
trans formational leadership: charisma, intellectual stimulation, and individualized
consideration. Charisma %N-as defined as a process wherein a leader influences
follo%vcrs by arousing strong emotions and idcntirication with the leader. Intellectual
stimulation is a proccss wherein leaders increase follo%N-cr awareness of problems and influence followers to view problems from a new perspective; individualized
consideration includes providing support, cncouragcmcnt, and developmental
experiences to followcrs. Later revision of the theory in 1990, added another
trans formational behaviour called inspiration (for "inspirational motivation"), which is
defincd. as the extent to which a leader communicatcs an appealing vision, uses
symbols to focus follower effort, and models appropriate behaviours (Bass & Avolio,
1990a). 'Me component bchaviours of transformational leadership intcract to influence
changes in followers, and the combined cffccts enables us to distinguish bctNvccn
transformational and charismatic leadership.
2.12 Motivation for the Rcscarch
Transformational leadership is believed to be one of the demanding requirements for
industries in the present cra. Ile main focus is to gain insight into the leadership of
today's manufacturing companies, Scarborough (2001). Transformational leadership
has become a necessity in the post-industrial world of work (Bass, 1997). It has been
specificd as an important mechanism for introducing organisational change and has
reccivcd substantial research attention over the last two decades. As a result, there is
now considerable knowledge about the transformational leadership phenomenon. 14
48
Bchavioural Aspects of Trans format ionatjAadcrshi2- in Manufacturing Organisalion3
ho%vcvcr, has also gcncratcd several conceptual issues, such as the need for more knowledge about the relationship of transformational Icadcrship with business
contextual issues, as several researchers noted (Bass, 1999, Congcr, 1999) that,
transformational leadership research is at a stage where its conceptual examination is
important.
As pointed out by Avolio & Yammarino (2002) that since we have many more
conccptualisations; about, and thcorics of transformational and charismatic Icadcrship
than rigorous empirical studies of them, data about them is actually missing. 711cre is a dcarth of empirical studies that arc longitudinal in nature, or combine quantitative and
qualitative methods. Iberc arc relatively few ficid studies that have bccn done,
attcmpting to systematically manipulate transformational and charismatic leadership
and to study how these theories can be used to explain casual impact on motivation
and performance.
in the last tNvo decades thcrc has bccn accumulating cvidcncc to suggest that
transformational leadership is an influential form of leadership that is associatcd with
high lcvcls of individual and organisational pcrformancc (c. g. Barling, Wcbcr &
Kclloway 1996, Kark & Shamir 2002, HoN%-cll & Avolio, 1993, Barling, Wcbcr &
Kelloway, 1996, Geyer & Steyrcr, 1995, Howcll & Shea, 1998,13ass, 1998, Antanakis
and House, 2002, Jung & Sosik, 2002, Avolio ct al, 2003, Whitt, ington ct al, 2004,
Zhu ct al, 2005). However, we actually know very little about the psychological
substructure; the internal world of transformational leaders, namcly what "makes them
tick", and how they devclopcd this way. T'his point has been indicated by some
prominent scholars of leadership (e. g., Bass, 1998; House & Howell, 1992; Judge &
Bono, 2000, Poppcr & Mayselcss, 2002). We find Judge & Bono (2000) claiming
that: "Even if one considers transformational Icadcrship to be a behavioural theory,
the origins of the bchaviours arc unclear. "
According to Bass (2002), while discussing leadership for the next 33 years from 2001
to 2034, "leaders by the year 2034 will bc prized for their innovativcncss,
responsiveness, and flexibility; all factors linked to their frcqucncy of transformational lcadcrship bchaviour. " Transformational Icadcrs provide vision and direction to the
organisation, and arc able to cnergise and inspire other members of the organisation in
49
the pursuit of organisational objectives. Ilic scarch for and idcntirication of behaviours that incrcase a Icadcr's cffcctivcncss has bccn a major concem of practicing managcrs and Icaduship rcscarclicrs alikc.
As YukI (1998) concluded after reviewing research on this topic, "a variety of different influence processes may be involved in transformational leadership, and different transformational bchaviours may involve different influence processes. Research on these processes is needed to gain better understanding of transformational leadership. " He suggest that transformational leaders can have a dual cffect, exerting their influcncc on followers through the creation of personal idcntirication with the leader and social identification with the work unit, and that these different forms of identification can lead to differential outcomes.
2.13 Intcgration of the Thcoric3
As is evident, a striking dichotomy is articulatcd in the above theories: the grouping of
the charismatic-transformational approach, vs. the burcaucratic-transactional-
management approach. The former focuses on vision, ideals, values, risk, change, and
charismatic leadership, and the latter on control, contracts, rationality, norms,
conservatism, and stability. An elevation and arousal of motives, ideals, and values
characterizes the charismatic-ti-ansforming-Icadcrship approach, whereas exchanges
and self-interest characterize the burcaucmtic-u=actional-managcmcnt approach. This schism could be vic%vcd from several perspectives, the most important of which deals with moral and ethical conviction. Morals and ethics %%, crc central to Burifs
(1978) theory, and evident too in House's (1977) frameworks. Morals and ethics, and
their implications to ideals and values, arc in essence what cffects the decisions
individuals make. Ideals and values guide how priorities to interpersonal and
organisaflonal tasks are assigned, and thus ultimately govcm bchavioural outcomes. Theoretically, if those in power care about their followers - and understand the impact
of their actions on the collective and other social systems - they adopt ideals that
arouse motives within followers, thus facilitating the Icadces charismatic appeal. Those individuals are transforming leaders, and lead followers that are intrinsically
motivated and intimately attached to the leadcesmission. Leaders that do not use such
means arc lcft to influence their followers through rc%%-ards and sanctions. 11cy arc
so
transactional Icadcrs who havc a limitcd influcrice on highcr-ordcr motivcs of
followas.
Revolutionary charisma has been conceived by Wcbcr (1947) from "organisational"
charisma conceived by the nco-charismatic theorists. As noted by Beyer (1999),
current views of charisma have departed from Wcbces perspective, and many
theorists (e. g. Bass 1985; Conger & Kanungo 1998; Sashkin 1988) view charisma in a
"tame" way. Housc (1999) rcfcrrcd to the abovc distinction as the Wcbcdan
(sociological) vs. the organisational (bchavioural) view. As noted by Shamir (1999),
the taming of charisma has advantages in that it can be found and studied in a variety
of settings. Thus, following Bass (1999), Conger and Kanungo (1998), and Sashkin
(1988), our thinking of charisma is directed toward organisational leadership, and leaders who use symbolic means to motivatc followers, arc sensitive to follower
needs, and in whom followers can express their ideals. Charismatic leaders arc viewed
as strong and confident based on attributions that followers make of these leaders.
Followers rcspcct and trust these leaders, who in turn arousc follower motives to
achieve transcendent ideals. Theoretically. these types of leaders display moral
conviction and arc idealized and higWy respected by followers. Trans formational
leaders build strong connections and cmotional bonds with followers, and the cffccts
of transformational leadcrsWp have becn attributed at least in part, to the creation of
such emotional bonds. Considering transformational leadership theory, it would be
expected that leaders who engage in transformational bchaviours that arc focused on
the individual follower, are cffectivc, and consider the welfare of the follower
2.14 Effects of Transformational Leadership
The focus of leadership research has shifted fmm one examining the effects of
transactional leadership to the identification and examination of those behaviours
exhibited by the leader that make followers more aware of importance and values of
task outcomes, activate their higher-order needs, and induce (them to transcend sclf- interests for the sake of the organisation (Bass 1985; Yukl 1989a, 1989b, Yammarino
&Bass 1990, Podsakoff et al 1996). These transformational or charismatic bchaviours
arc believed to augment the impact of transactional leader bchaviours on employee
51
Dchavioural Asrscts of Trans fonnational Leadcrahip in Mangfactufing Organisatiom
outcome variables, because "followcrs fccl trust and respect toward the leadcr and
they are motivated do more than they are expected to do" (Yukl 1989b). Other
researchers who have focused on the same concepts arc House, 1977, Bass, 1985;
Bennis & Nanus 1985; Tichy & DeVanna 1986, Bass, Avolio, & Goodlicim 1987;
Bass. Waldman, Avolio, & Bcbb 1987; Conger &; Kanungo 1987; Boal & Bryson
1988; House, Woyckc, & Fodor 1988; Avolio & Bass 1988; Shamir, House, & Arthur
1988, House, Spangler & W`oyckc: 1989; and Howell & Frost 1989, Barling ct al 1996,
Bass, 1998, Bass & Avolio 1994, Antonakis & Avolio 2002. However approaches of
these researcher differs somewhat in the specific bchaviours they associate with
trans formational Icadcrship, but all of them focus on the same perspective that
cffcctivc leaders transfonn or change the basic values, beliefs, and attitudes of followcrs so that they are willing to perform beyond the minimum levels spccificd by
the organisation, Zaccaro ct al 1991, Gasper 1992, Lowc 1996, Antonak-is 2001).
According to Hicbcrt & Klatt (2001) leadership at its essence is leading change,
nothing demands leaders but truly lead to large-scale change within a dcpartment or
organisation.
The empirical results have vcrified the impact of transformational bchaviours on
employee altitudes, cffort, and "in-roic" performance. For example, Bass (1985) cited
a variety of field studies dcrnonstrating that transformational leadcr bchaviours arc
positively related to cmployccs' satisfaction, sclf-rcportcd cffort, and job performance. Same results have been rcported by Howell and Frost (1989). They manipulated the
bchaviour of leadcrs in a laboratory setting and found that charismatic Icadcr
bchaviours produced bcttcr pcrformancc, grcatcr satisfaction, and enhanced role
pcrceptions (less role conflict) than directive leadcr bchaviours,
Transformational leaders influence followers by arousing strong emotions, but do so
for benign reasons. They seek to empower followers by developing their
independence and building their confidence. They seek the improvement of the
individual, the organisation, or the society. Charismatic leaders, in contrast,
sometimes seek to enslave followcrs'by keeping them weak- and dependent. They arc
interested in personal loyalty, rather than attachment to values and ideals.
52
Transformational leadcrs arc intcrestcd in followus thinking for tlicmsclvcs, and fliinking crcativcly, (Bass ct al 1987, Bass 1998).
Although Bass treats charisma and trans formati onal leadership as distinct concepts,
many writers do not. The work of TichY and Devanna (1986) on trans formational
leadcrship, for cxamplc, talks about articulating a vision, which enthuses followers
and creates considerable loyalty and trust. This sounds very similar to charisma. Therefore, while conceptually they may be distinct, much of the writing fails to make it clear that they arc. Trice and Bcycr (1991) make the distinction between charisma
and transformational leadership by suggesting that charismatic leaders often create
nc-*v organisations, while transformational leaders change existing organisations.
The terms transforming, transformational, and transactional (Burns 1978; Bass 1990)
have become central to the study of Icadcrship and are ofIcn used to diffcrcntiate
leadcrship and management (Duckett & hiacfulane 2003). Rcscarch by Krishnan
(2001) suggcsts that supcrior performance is possible only through stimulating and
motivating followers to higher levels of pcrformancc through transformational
leadcrship. His study found that the values of transformational leaders and
transactional leaders are different - the former charactcrised by a focus on collective
welfare and equality, change orientated and moral values and the lattcr oriented to the
routine and competence values. Superior performance is possible only by
transforming followers' values, attitudes, and motives from a lower to a higher plane
of arousal and maturity. Boehnke et al (2003) even found support for the claim that
the main dimensions of leadership for extraordinary performance arc universal. Studies have found significant and positive relationships between transformational
leadcrship and the amount of cffort followers are willing to exert, satisfaction with the leadcr, ratings of job performance, and perceived cffectivcness of the leader (Bass
1985). Transformational leadership could be potcritially cffcctivc across a variety of
situations, though certain contextual factors like structure of the organisation could facilitate the emergence and impact of transformational leadership (Shamir and Howell, 1999).
53
2.15 Research on the Transformational Leadership Theory
Most of the research on the theory has involved the use of a questionnaire called the
Nfulti-factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) to measure various aspects of
transformational and transactional leadership (Bass, 1985). Scales measuring separate
aspects of transformational and transactional leadership arc based on factor analysis of
the initial questionnaire and subsequent versions of it. I'lic initial research on
components of trans formational leadership was very limited, because the knowledge
of the subject was too primitive to identify good cx=plcs for use as questionnaire items. Another weakness in early versions of the MLQ, Hunt 1999, Yukl (1998)
involves the wording of the items; most items in the charismatic and intellectual
stimulation scales described the outcomes of leadership (e. g., followers become more
enthusiastic about the work and view problems in novel ways), rather than spccific,
observable actions by the leader to cause these outcomes. In response to critics who
pointed out these weaknesses, Bass and his colleagues have included more items
describing observable leader bchaviours in the revised version of the questionnaire (Bass & Avolio 1990; Yammarino & Bass 1990). Hackett and Allen (1995) suggested
that researchcrs using MLQ should consider using simplcr factor structures to
represent the component factors. Bass (1988) proposal to cxamine a six-factor model
of leadership that combined charismatic and inspirational leadership, Avolio et al. (1999) rcported the best fitting-modcl for the h1LQ survey were those six factors.
Avolio (1999) extended earlier work by providing a ninc-factor model, which included Idcalised (Attributed and Bchavioural), Inspiring, Intellectually Stimulating,
Individualiscd Consideration, Contingent Reward, Active and Passive Management-
by-Exccption, and Laissez-faire leadership. Strong empirical support for this nine- factor model comes from findings reported by Antonakis (2001).
Several studies examined how leadership behaviour described by followers on the
MLQ was related to various criteria of leadership cffcctivcness; such as performance
ratings by superiors and the level of task commitment reported by followers (Avolio
& Howell 1992; Bass, Avolio, & Goodhcim 1987; Hatcr & Bass 1988; Seltzer & Bass
1990; Waldman, Bass, & Einstein 1987; Waldman, Bass, & Yammarino 1990;
Yammarino & Bass 1990, Druskat 1994, Bycio ct al 1995, Vcrnon 1996, Bass &
Avolio 1997, Geyer & Srcyrer 1998, Avolio ct al 1999b, Antonakis 2001). In these
54
studies, the transformational leadership bchaviours were usually correlated more
strongly with the critcria than were the transactional Icadcrship bchaviours, but some
transactional behaviour (e. g., contingent rcward bchaviour and active monitoring)
were also relevant for leader effectiveness. The results of this research support the
conclusion that effective leadcrs use a mix of transformational and transactional
bchaviours. However, the limitations of qucstionnairc correlational research (such as
attributional biases in rating the bchaviour of leaders known to be cffcctivc) make it
difficult to draw any firm, conclusions until the results arc confirmcd by latest research
methods.
Bryman (1992) concludes that Bass's framework for examining transformational and transactional leadership has produced an impressive array of findings, which possess a
good deal in common (1992: 128). However, he also notes that the MLQ
questionnaire method used in the studies has the same problems as we noted with the
Ohio State studies, which used a similar questionnaire, the Leader Behaviour
Description Questionnaire (LBDQ).
The correlational design of most of the MLQ studies gives particular problems. Because two factors are correlated does not imply that one causes the other. Therefore, it is not possible to separate out whether cffcctivcncss causes attributions
of transformational leadcrship, or whether transformational leadership causes greater
cffectiveness; mcrcly that they arc rclatedL One possible rcason why they arc linked is
the common method variance problem. Many of the studies have taken measures of
perceptions of leader behaviour and measures of perceived cffcctivcness at the same time and from the same followers. Therefore, correlations bct%vccn bchaviour and
performance could be artificially increased by the tendency for respondents to answer
questions consistcntly. Where studies have used independent measures of
cffectivcness, the findings arc similar to those in which followers provide both leader
perceptions and performance measures, but the correlations arc quite a lot smallcr. A
study by Yammarino and Bass (1990), for example, found that there was a correlation
of 0.87 when followcrs provided measures of both transformational leadership and
performance (the common method variance problem) but only 0.34 whcn there were independent measures of performance. The latest version of MLQ5X (Bass & Avolio,
55
1995) is still viewcd by social scicntists with sccpticism becausc the NILQ5X still does not capture all possible Icadcrship bcliaviours (House & Antonakis 2002).
Podsak-off, MacKenzie, Moorman, and Fcttcr (1990) reviewed the leadership literature
and identified high performance expectations, intellectual stimulation, individualized
support, fostering the acceptance of group goals, role modelling, and identifying and
articulating a vision (the itcm content of the lattcr five arc subsumed within Bass's
three transformational sub factors) as the key behaviours of transformational leaders.
They developed a 23-itcrn questionnaire (transformational leadership inventory
questionnaire) to measure transformational leadership characteristics. 71is
transformational leadership inventory questionnaire has been used to test
transformational leadcrship characteristics in most research studies recently e. g., Personality, transformational leadership, trust, and the 2000 U. S. presidential vote by
Pillai, Williams, Lowc, and Jung (2003), four phenomenologically determined social
processes of organisational leadcrship by Parry (2002) and others. This survey developed by Podsakoff ct al. (1990) has been widely used in transformational
leadership research, Bass & Riggio (2006) and rarely been criticisc in literature, so
this research use his trans formational leadership survey inventory to establish
transformational Icadcrship characteristics in manufacturing organisations.
2.16 Application of Leadership Theories in Manufacturing Organisations
Manager/supcrvisors are confronted with the issue that if leadership is a competency, that is, if leadership can be learned, then which theories make the most sense to learn
and how can these be taught as foundations for decisions affecting leadership
behaviour and actions. Leadership theories would have little value if they could not be
applied to real world situations, Armandi (2003).
Organisations are not of the same forril as they were 10 or 20 years ago. Leadership is
migrating to the lowest levels, and more and more people have direct influence in
shaping an organisation's destiny. With these changes comes a need to rc-cnginccr
relationships in the organisation and to take into consideration that, increasingly, thc
56
fonnal structures are blurred and the infon-nal structures have more influcncc on bottom-line performance, Avolio (1999).
The significant trend during the last 10 years has been to examine leadership by using
more of a process perspective. Part of this emphasis parallels trends in total quality
management (TQM) and rc-cnginccring, which has been forced to examine many
organisational processes, including human system processes. I'lic focus has forced me to take a much closer look at the interaction between leaders and followers and the
context in which each is interacting.
Organisations are increasing their reliance on employee involvement because their
success depcnds on the organisations ability to harness cmployce skills and knowledge. In ordcr to remain competitive, organisations must nurture employees and
encourage their initiative. This proactivc climate requires more than just traditional
managcrs/supcrvisors - it requires managcrs/supcrvisors who arc also are leaders - who can help dcvclop cmployccs; and instil a sense of commitmcnt and engagement, Armandi ct al (2003).
Many people use the terms "manager" and "leader" interchangeably, they refer to different functions, and a manager/supcrvisor is appointed by the organisation and is
given formal authority to direct the activity of others in fulfilling organisation goals. However leader is a person who influences others because they willingly do what he
or she requests. A leader can be appointed formally by an organisation or may emerge informally as "the people's choice. " A leader can be a manager/supervisor, but a
manager is not necessarily a leader. If a manager is able to influence people to achieve
organisational goals, without using his or her formal authority to do so, then the
managcr/supervisor is demonstrating leadership, Armandi (2003). The key point in
differentiating between these two concepts is the idea that employees willingly do
what leaders ask - or follow leaders - because they want to - not because they have to.
Leaders may not possess the formal power to rcward or sanction performance. However, followers give the leader power by complying with what he or she requests. On the other hand managers/supcrvisors may have to rely on formal power to get followers to accomplish organisational goals, Armandi (2003).

Dchavioural Asrscts of Trans forma tional Lcadersbil2 in Manufacturing Orranisations
71c: rcscarclicr conccpt of "Icadcrship in manufacturing organisatione' is a proccss ill
which the Icadcr's bchaviour cmpowcrs a group of peoplc to bc productivc/innovativc
in ordcr to achicvc the organisational goals. The bchavioural componcrits of
Icadcrship includc:
Instilling an innovative culture by cmpowcring the followas, to build
conridcncc in them while doing their work. Wlicn a leader cmpowcrs the
followcrs by giving thcm discretion in tlicir work, hc1she transfonns the
followers into dccision-mak-crs and thus gives them the chancc to be
innovative. This helps flicm to improve their working process and thcrcby
the quality of work.
For example, in the north eastern United States, at a large sun glasses factory,
an opcrations worker dcscribed how lie had made a suggestion to the chcmist in his area and how his suggestion had led to a change in the chemical
processes used to bond gold to sunglass frames. In the first few months, his
unit had saved the company more than $700,000 by increasing the level of
bonding to the metal, thus reducing the wastage of actual gold. Ile was askcd
when he had discovered the alternative way of processing the gold. His rcply
was, "sevcml years back", he was then askcd why he took several years to get his idea implemented. He said, "it took me scvcral years to learn that I should
not leave my brain at the door when I come to work. The previous plant
mangcr didn't care to hear our ideas. Phil (the current plant manager) carcs,
and I bring my brain to work every day now. Once I made the
recommendation to our chemist, it was implemented, within a few days"
quoted by Avolio (1999). Transformational leaders scck fccdback from their
followers about working processes, and implement the suggestions obtained from their followers (if appropriate) to improve the process and reduce the
scrap rate in manufacturing organisations.
2. Ignoring casual mistakes by empowering the followers to be sclf-awarc of
their mistakes. Ilis leads to a reduced amount of rcwork-, as the followers
bcing sclf-axvare, try to minimise futurc mistakcs and thus incrcase
productivity.
58
3. Incrcasing the intcraction betwccn lcadcrs and followas by sccking fccdback from followers or vice vcrsa.
Crcating a fmnily typc culturc in which pcople arc willing to mak-c sacrificcs,
sparc: flicir pcrsonal intcrcsts for the sak-c of organisational goals, rcspcct cach
othcr's fcclings, and crcatc an cnvironmcnt of trust =ong organisational members. When an organisation has a family typc culturc, followcrs do their jobs considering it as their personal duty and so the chanccs of crrors or
making mistakes is reduced, dius scrap or rework probicnis can bc ovcrcome.
Early leadership theories were content theories, focusing on "what" an cffective leader
is, and not on "how" to effectively lead. 1, cader trait and bchavioural theories tried to idcntify thcsc charactcristics and flicir behaviours are describcd as follows:
2.16.1 Trait Theories
In the 1920s and 1930s, research focused on trying to identify the traits that
differentiate leaders from non-Icadcrs. The goal was to identify sets of traits to assist in selecting the right people for positions requiring cffective leadership. None of the
six traits that were found to be associated with leadership (drive, the desire to lead,
honesty and integrity, self-confidence, intelligence, and job-rclcvant followers
(Kirkpatrick and Locke, 199 1).
A major reason for the failure of trait theories is that they do not take into account leadcr-followcr interactions or situational conditions.
2.16.2 Behavioural Theories
The intention of the bchaviouml theorists was to identify detenninants of leadership so
that people could be trained to be leaders. Studies conducted at the Ohio State
University, and the University of Michigan idcntiricd two bchavioural dimensions that
point to tNvo general types of leader bchaviours. The first - considcration, or employee
orientation suggested emphasis on employees feelings and interpersonal relationships. The second - initiating structure, or production orientation - suggested a focus on tasks
59
Dchavioural AsMts of Transformational Lcadership in Manufactuflng Organisations
to achicve goals. Rcscarch findings on which dimcnsion is most important for
satisfaction and productivity wcrc inconclusivc. I lowcvcr, cmployce oricntcd Icadcrs
appeared to be associated with high group productivity and job satisfaction.
Another approach to leader behaviour which focuscd on idcntifying the best
leadership styles is the work at the University of Iowa, which idcntiricd democratic
(participation and delegation), autocratic (dictating and ccntralised), and laissez-faire
styles (group freedom in decision making). Research findings of this approach were
also inconclusive.
The dimensions identified at University of Michigan provided the basis for the
development of a managerial/supcrvisor style grid based on tile dimensions; concern for people and concern for production (Blakc and Mouton, 1964). Five styles that
were identified arc:
1. Impoverished leader,
2. Task management; 3. Middle of the road; 4. Country club management; and 5. Team management.
Managers who scored high on both these dimensions simultaneously, labelled team
management, performed best (%Vren, 1994).
These theories failed, as it became apparent that appropriate leader types arc
moderated by situational constraints. Contingency and transformational theories of leadership dominate current leadership thinking (DuBrin, 1998).
2.163 Contingency Theories
2.16.3.1 The Fiedler model (Fiedler et aL, 1994)
Ibis first comprehensive contingency model proposes that cfrcctive group
performance depend on the match bctNvecn the leadces style of interacting with
60
Behavioural Asiscts of Transforma-lionalLcadershipja Mmufacturina Organisations
followers and Ole degree to which the situation has allowed the Icadcr to control and influcncc.
Building on the findings from bchavioural approaches, Ficldcr suggcstcd that
leadership styles were either relationship or task oriented. He created the least-
preferred co-worker (LPQ questionnaire for managers to complcte to measure their leadership stylcs. Respondcnts were asked to describe the co-workcr with whom they have worked that thcy liked the least by responding to a list of adjectives. If the least
prcfcrrcd co-worker is responded to in relatively positive terms (high LPC score), the
style is labelled "relationship oriented. " If the co-workcr is described in relatively
negative tenns (low LPC), the style is labclled "task oriented. " Fiedlcr bclicvcd that a
person's IcadcrsMp style was fixed, and that the right style needed to be matchcd with the right situation, Yuk-I 1998).
The managerial lesson from these theories is that there doesn't appear to be one best
leader behaviour that is appropriate across situations. However, the question surfaces
as to whether these are theories of leadership or managemcnt. Do they explain why
cmployccs follow, or do they prescribe the corrcct bchaviour for diffcrcnt situations? In an effort to explain the "followcr-sMp" phcnomcnon, the section follows reviews the theory on Icadcr types.
2.163.2 Attribution theory and charismatic leadership theory (Yuk*I, 1994;
Conger and Kanungo, 1998)
Attribution theory is a theory that suggests a particular way of understanding the judgements people make about behaviour. The attribution theory of leadership
proposes that leadership is merely an attribution that people make about other individuals. Regardless of situation, people tend to judge people high in task and high
in relationship behaviour as the best leaders. The perception of cffcctivc leaders is that
they are consistent and unwavering in their decisions.
Charismatic leadcrship thcory has its roots in attribution thcory and suggcsts that followers make attributions of heroic or extraordinary leadership abilities when they
61
obscrvc: ccrtain bchaviours. Charismatic Icadcrs have certain traits and characteristics including scif-conridcncc, vision, ability to articulate the vision, strong convictions
about the vision, behaviour that is out of the ordinary, and cnvironmcntal sensitivity. Research has demonstrated that charismatic leadership correlates significantly with follower performance and satisfaction, YukI (1994). People working for charismatic leaders arc motivated to cxcrt extra cffort and, because they like their lcadcr, express
greater satisfaction. Research also demonstrates that people can be trained to display
more charismatic traits such as maintaining eye contact, having a relaxed posture, and
animating facial expressions, Shackicton (1995). Charismatic leadership may not
always be ncedcd to achieve high levels of performance. It is most appropriate when
employees' tasks have an ideological component. In fact, this leadership style can become a liability whcn an organisation is in crisis and needs a dramatic change. I'lic
charismatic Icadces apparent self-confidence may rcndcr him or her unable to listen to
others and uncomfortable with challcnging assumptions.
2.16.4 Visionary and Transformational Leadership Theory (Ilughes et al., 1999)
Visionary leadership goes beyond charismatic leadership by its ability to create and
articulate a realistic, credible, and attractive vision for the future of the organisation
that improves upon the present situation. This vision cncrgiscs followers to cngagc all
of their skills, kmowledgc, and abilities to make the vision happen.
A vision taps peoples emotions, has clear imagery, and is the "glue" that holds
organisational members together, Nwankwo & Richardson (1996). Visionary
organisations have been found to outperform comparison companies six-fold on
standard financial criteria, and their stocks outpcrformcd the general market by fifIccn
times (Hughes el A. 1999).
The key properties of a vision are inspirational, and value-ccntred. The visionary leader can articulate the vision and direct employees in innovative ways to meet the
challenges of the future. Once the vision is articulated, visionary leaders display three
qualities: 1. Ability to explain the vision to othcrs; 2. Ability to cxpress the vision vcrbally and through behaviour, and
62
Dchnioural AsMts of-Transformation3i Leadershig in manufacturing Oftanisations
2. Ability to cxtcnd or apply the vision to diffcrcnt leadcrship contcxts.
The world's most rcvcred leadcrs have made cxccptional changes in human
cndeavour, in an organisational scnsc, they have ofIcn rcinvcntcd meanings for pcopic
and work itself. Thomas Watson Jr. (113M) Jack Welch (GE), the late Sam Walton
(Wal-Mart), Jan Carizon (Scandinavian Airlines), and Akio Morita (Sony) arc
conspicuous for their international rcputations as transformational Icadcrs, (Holt,
1998).
Bill Gates of IBM has been called a visionary leader and has articulated a very clear
vision: A computer on every desk-top and in every home. To fulfil this vision,
employees were provided with the resources and goals necessary to challenge their
creativity by developing user-fricndly practical software.
2.16.5 TranS2ctional versus transformational leadership
Transactional leaders, guide followers in the direction of established goals by
clarifying role and task requirements. However, those who are charismatic and
visionary can inspire followers to transcend their own self-interest for the good of the
organisation. Transformational leaders pay attention to the concerns and
developmental needs of followers, help them look at old problems in new ways, and
arc able to excite and inspire followers to achieve goals, Podsak-off ct al (1990). The
trans formational leader has charisma but differs from the charismatic leader in that he
or she encourages followers to question established views including those of the
leader.
Overall research evidence (Hater and Bass, 1988) indicates that transformational
leadership, when compared to transactional leadership, is more strongly correlated
with lower staff turnover rates, higher productivity, and higher employee satisfaction.
Transformational leaders are viewed by superiors as being more compctcnt, higher
performers and more promotable.
63
Thus leadership has emerged as a personal characteristic that impacts others
regardless of task or situation, (Herbert & Klatt. 2001). Perhaps transactional
leadership or those processes as mentioned in contingency theories are really focusing
on being a good managcr/supcrvisor - matching behaviour to situations. 711c
charismatic, visionary, and transformational leaders behave as such because they
inspire or excite individuals to perform based on their belief in the person, his or her
viewpoint, and/or vision for the future. 7liese types of leaders arc relevant to today's
workplace, which is charactcriscd by flexibility, change, and innovation, (Armandi,
2003). While it is important to have people with the appropriate orientation dcrining
tasks and managing interrelationships, it is even more important to have individual's
lead who can bring organisations into futures they have not yet imagined. This is the
essence of creating and sustaining competitive advantage.
The question of applicability of transformational leadership theory to managers below
the CEO. As articulated by Lussicr and Achua (2001), that leadership should focus on
accomplishments because they are the key to leadership, this shows that
"transformational leaders can emerge from different levels of the organisation" (Lussicr and Achua, 2001) since they try to transform the organisation (or the part
they particularly arc involved with) through trust, sensitivity to others' needs, and risk-
taking in order to increase organisational performance. Intellectual Stimulation component of transformational leadership or leadership by
developing followers, rcfcrs to the care that the leader shows toward followers about their developments, and about them as individuals. The leader is alert to followers'
needs, provides challenges and leaming opportunities and delegates to raise their skills
and confidence. The result is that followers are more likely to be willing to develop
compctcnce and take initiative, (Shackleton, 199S).
The case of the Swiss watch industry is a useful analogy for the power of intcllcctual
stimulation of transformational leadership. In the 1960s, the Swiss watch was the
cpitome of watch making., with its finely crafted gears and superb accuracy. The
Swiss dominated the watch industry and cmploycd 65,000 people. By the early 1980s,
that number had halvcd, and the mark-ct was dominated by the quartz watch
manufactured in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea. Quartz watches are so much
64
13chavioural Aspects of Trans fompt ional Leadashin imManufacturint Organisalions
cheaper to manufacture and give cxccllcnt accuracy. Yct the sccds of failure lay in thc
hands of the Swiss. The idea for the quartz watch came from Switzerland, but they
thought little of the idea. A Swiss manufacturer had presented the idea to a mccting of
the watch industry, and representatives from both Tcxas Instrumcnt and Sciko were
thcrc. It was they who saw the potential and developed it, (Shackicton, 1995),
Application of leadership theory to practice can be used to cnbance leadership
decisions and bring leadership behaviour that is more competent, and appropriate for
the environment and the respective situation. Managers, with some training, will be
able to develop a set of questions or guidelines (Rausch and Washbush, 1998) that can
help them analysc their own and their firm's leadership styles and approaches based
upon the leadership literature.
The World Wide Web and the rise of global economy arc rapidly changing the way business is conducted. Organisations that hope to prosper need special leaders, leaders
that are more than just accomplished administrators and managers. They need leaders
that have some charisma and possess the ability to inspire followers to subordinate
their own interests for the good of the entire organisation, Friedman (2()00). What
organisations; necdý if they desire prosper, are transformational leaders. One of the
greatest transformational leaders of all time was, arguably, the Biblical Abraham, the
progenitor of three major religions. Clemens and Maycr (1999) found valuable lessons
for individuals interested in deriving leadership lessons from Western literature.
According to them Bible is another source to tap in order to learn about cffective leadership. Some of history's earliest leaders arc found in the Bible. The Bible is
replete with stories of leaders, some successful and some unsuccessful. Some of the
Biblical leaders were charismatic and others were quite uninspiring. Weber discussed
the Biblical exarnples of prophets in his seminal works. One Biblical leader who was
arguably the most successful transformational leader in history was Abraham.
The story of the Hebrews starts with Abraham, a simple clan chief who believed in ;a
single God. Abraham lcft Ur of the Chaldees to become "the father of a multitude of
nations (Genesis 17: 5). Abraham sowed the seeds that helped destroy paganisrn,
planted the roots for the three major monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity. and
65
Islam) and permanently changed tile world with the ideas of monotheism, justice, and
compassion. At least one-half of today's world has been influenced by Abraham's
vision. Pope John Paul II has expressed strong interest in visiting Ur (in Iraq), the birthplace of Abraham). What characteristics did Abraham possess that made him so
capable as a leader? These are in fact those charactcristics that are possessed by
transformational leaders. Abraham was known in the ancient world as a "prince of God" (Genesis 23: 6) Abraham not only had a vision but was also able to communicate this vision to descendents living hundreds of generations later. Approximately two
thousand years after his death, the Talmud states (Ethics of the Fathers 5: 19)
"whoever possesses the following three traits is of the disciples of our forefather
Abraharn.... a good eye (a generous nature), a humble spirit, and a modest soul (modest dcsircs). "
The Bible (Genesis 14) relates how Abraham mobiliscd his clan and, with only 318
people, waged war with four powerful kings in order to rescue his ncphew Lot.
Abraham was greatly outnumbered but pursued these four powerful adversaries who had themselves just soundly defeated rive powerful kings (the Kings of Sodom, and Gomorrah and three allies). Abraham was not only courageous but loyal to the
members of his clan, even one who lcft to live in Sodom. Transformational leaders
need courage to take risks and confidence to carry out their visions, Black and Portcr
(2000); Nahavandi (2000) and Northouse, (1997).
Abraham was extremely hospitable to strangers. The Bible (Genesis 18) relates that on one hot day, Abraham was sitting at his tent's entrance and noticed three strangers. Ile
ran towards them and invited them to come to his home and "wash their fcct" and cat a "'morscl of brcad. " Abraham did not offer them very much in order to make it easy for them to agree, even he provided them with freshly baked bread, curd and milk, and tender calf Moreover, Abraham stood over them and acted as host and waitcr. A
transformational leader cares for his followers and nurturing and supportive, Black
and Porter (2000); Nahavandi (2000); Ross and Offcrinan (1997).
Abraham had the ultimate divine gift since God assured him that (genesis 12: 3): "I
will bless those that bless you, and him that curses you I will curse. " Moreover, almost
66
four thousand years aftcr his death, he is still a role model for billions of people. His
burial place, the cave of hlaclipciali in licbron, is a holy place that is visited by
hundrcds of individuals cvcry day.
The story of Abraham's test, in which God asked him to sacrifice his bclovcd son
Isaac, indicated Abraham's willingness to make personal sacrifices for God (Gcncsis
22), (Al-Quran, Surah 37, verse 102-107, As-Saffat)). What was the reason for this
test of Abraham? This may have been God's way to indicating to Abraham that
spreading monotheism would require great sacrificc on the part of bclicvcrs.
Charismatic transformational leaders must be willing to make sacrificcs; on behalf of
an organisation, Black and Porter (2000). Moreovcr, trans formational leaders motivate
followers to sacrifice their own sclf-intcrcsts for the greater good, Northouse (1997).
Abraham was a person who was willing to make a great sacrifice and that is why he
proved that he was the right choice as the first patriarch. 11iroughout the centuries,
Abraham's followers - bclicvcrs in monotheism - also made great sacrifices; to spread
his values in a pagan world.
The traits by many of the influential Biblical leaders, spccially Abraham, possessed,
arc the same characteristics that any transformational leadcr nccds to change an
organisation: a vision, a degree of charisma, confidcricc, courage, a willingness to be
diffcrcnt, conccm for others, and above all willingness to make great sacrifices for
one's vision.

7. Richard Kovaccvich (Northwest Corporation)
These leaders are described as follow:
1. In 1981, at the age of 45, Welch became General Electric's youngest chief
cxccutivc ever. Richard Ellsworth, a 20-ycar General Electric watcher who teaches at
Claremont Graduate School in California, credits Jack Welch with transforming GE
from a lethargic and bureaucratic company into the very model of an innovative
powerhouse that is quick to seize opportunities, Beneath Welch's relentlessly demanding management style, "Welch may be the most brilliant chief executive in
America", Robert Reno of Newsday, Lowe, J. 2001). GE's deccntraliscd management
approach, which Welch reformulated, along with central resources and support,
provided the foundation for training a slew of great business executives. As a result, the disciplined structure and culture of GE has been adopted by businesses throughout
the world, Sloan (1999). Welch, the most typically American of all companies is the
most blatantly American of any chief executive in the world, ascended in GE because
of his charisma, inspirational motivation and ability to lead. He brought remarkable
vision to the job. Welch worked at GE for 40 years. An article in The Wall Street
Journal describes Welsh's leadership agenda.
Mr. Melch, the neiv CEO, agrccs that GE cither must kccp gaining or risk being
trampled by theforeign compaition that can produce highly quality goods, faster and
cheaper. Many of GE's old line manufacturing businasses, such as consumer
68
appliances, electronics and industrial equipment have been buffacd by foreign
competition and by the recession ... .... Air. IfIcIch blanics theforcign threat to GE and
other American companies on many of the managcnicill principles that GE itself
helped to shape in the 1960s and 1970s, a tinic, he says, when companies were
managmictit not lead. 116 argues that managing assets, as if they were investment
por(folios. seeking short-term profits at the sacrifice of long- term gains, and stressing
consm-atism over innovation may have pcmiancntly crippled many Anterica's major
industries.
At the beginning of 1985, people were wondcring what Welch would do to increase
revenues at GE. The early stages of revitalisation were marked by divestiture and cost
cutting that resulted in a leaner and more agile organisation; but no growth strategy had been announced. Ibcn in December 1985, Welch embarked on the second act of GE's rcvitalisation drama by initiating the $6.28 billion acquisition of RCA. The
acquisition makes GE $40 billion plus company with over 400,000 employees. The
integration of two giants will be a complex and difficult task. The task will be made
more difficult because of the relentless global competition these businesses will face
while they work to put their internal house in order. Some of the specific challenges arc to implement a culture that encourages GE's
business leaders to "own your business. " Ile move to dcccntmlisation means that
mangers have to design their own management proccsses, human resource systems,
and subcultures. Before the announcement of the acquisition there were pockcts of
resistance to the change in GE's culture, Tichy & Dcvanna (1990).
2. IBM is one of the world's largest information technology companies, covering 150 countries world wide and employing over 300,000 people. The corporation is
known too for its CEOs, who have become landmarks in the corporate world. One of
whom is the very famous former CEO of IBM, Lou Gerstner, a transformational leader (Rcnata Fox & John Fox, 2004).
Discussing the state of IB1%1 and where the corporation is headed, CEO Gerstner in an interview with IBM's employee bullctin THINK said:

We have completed, for the most part, the task of restructuring the institution. Our
success now is going to be a function of personal behaviour-the behaviour of each and
every one of us. We can't fix it with systems anymore. Defining IBM's commitment
to success, CEO Gerstner called upon the American dream -a system of beliefs in
individualism, achievement, the free-enterprise system, and freedom from controls.
An institutional ised value of American culture, the American dream lcgitimises IBM's
commitment to success, (Renata Fox & John Fox, 2004).
I Steve Jobs of Apple Corporation is known as a transformational leader.
Leadership styles played a critical role in the inability of Xerox to capitalise on its
invention of the first user- friendly personal computer. The researchers in the Xerox
Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) developed the first graphical user interface, mouse
and mcnu-drivcn computer-technological advances that made computers accessible
to the novice user (Bennis & Biederman, 1997). The lab's charismatic leader, Bob
Taylor, recruited only the very brightest scientists, gave them the freedom to innovate
and inspired them to work together to solve tremendously complex problems. Researchers at PARC invented new products, obtained multiple patents and pioneered
many of the computer technologies. However, because Xerox PARC was not well integrated into the rest of the company, Xerox's top management was sceptical of the
inventions the lab developed and didn't see how they could fit in with their current
copying equipment (Poe, 2000). Xerox lacked a transactional leadership style in the
top management team to provide the structure and systems that could capture the
knowledge generated in the PARC labs. Steve Jobs visited the PARC facility in 1979
and immediately saw the future of computing in the mouse-driven graphical user interface (Bennis & Biederman, 1997). Jobs left the PARC labs without any hardware
or software but with a vision how computers should operate. Jobs and his Apple
crnployces were able to convert the innovative PARC ideas into Macintosh computer,
-which debuted in 1984, changing the face of computing. Because of Jobs leadership,
Apple created the systems and structure that were able to convert their knowledge into
a valuable product. Jobs used a transformational leadership style to create a vision for
the Macintosh and challenge his employees to reach nearly impossible goals, (Bryant,
2003). John G. Searle, professor of organisation and management at the Yale School
70
13cbavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadcrshil! in Manufacturing Organisations
of Management says: "[Jobs] is the supreme example of a transformational leader who
stands for higher order values.... he has caused people to do things they might never
have done before. "
4. Another example of transfonnational leader in computer manufacturing industry is Michael Dell, chairman of Dell Computer Company. Ludcman and
Eflandson, principals of the Carpentria, California, consultancy Worth Ethic
Corporation (www. worthethic. com) illustrate him by saying that Dell computer
chairman Michael Dell demonstrates the power of the leader whose authenticity and
openness to learning pervades and motivates an entire company. They substantiate this
claim by citing numerous comments about Michael Dell's leadership style by Dell
Computer managers, "I continue to be impressed by his openness and his willingness
to be vulnerable, " and "he's so clearly a learner. " Ludeman observes, "He's always
trying new things. What does that mean to his organisation? It means people think of
problems as nothing to hide, but rather as things to seek help in finding answers"' -
answer that usually involve doing something new or different. "In some cases that
means the company responds more quickly to changes in its operating environment. "
Dell embarked on a revolutionary direct-retail system called mass customisation.
Through Dell's offering, an individual could configure a PC that met his or her unique
specifications and requirements, and Dell would subsequently build it to orderwithin
t, %vo or three days. Dell provided both on-sitc and remote customer service to ensure
that transaction and set-up were as easy and as smooth as possible. In 1992, Michael
Dell, at twenty-sevcn years of age, became the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500
company. He continued revolutionalising the PC retail market space by being the first
to offer, sell, and service PCs over the intemet, Dumaine (2002), Mayo & Nohria
(2005).
5. in the late 1990s, Toyota Motor Corp. (Japan) was in the process of
implementing a $13.5 billion strategic vision framework designed to make Toyota
global automotive leader by the year 2004 [Bremner, (1997); Ibison, (2001 a); lbison,
(2001c)]. Realizing this expansion strategy involved such strategic objectives and
tasks as: a) shaking up the firm's insular, consensus-driven culture; b) extending
Toyota's edge in high-speed, flexible car making; c) pursuing perhaps the most
71
Behavioural Aspects of Trans formational Leadershi2 in Manufacturing Organisations
aggressive overseas expansion in automotive history; d) outflanking Detroit in
cmcrging markets and going after the U. S. 's "Big Three" automakcrs; c) using new
designs to create excitement about the Toyota brand; and c) cutting costs even more.
Implementing these strategic objectives a restructuring of tile design division, for
example, led to the introduction of 12 new models in 1996, some of which were
created in 14.5 months, less than half the time competitors needed. These new models
led to major sales gains in the U. S. and Toyota! s new "Europe Car" was turning out to
be a major competitor in Europe's minicar segment, Burt (2002). Its sturdy, simply
designed, fuel-cfficient Asian car, built with local parts, was expected to help Toyota
become a market leader in Southeast Asia and eventually in China. Continuing this
trend, more recently the introduction of its redesigned Carnry, began 18 months ahead
of time, Hakim (2001).
Since 1995, Toyota had saved nearly $2.5 billion in costs, mostly by developing ways
to use fewer parts and eliminating production waste. This was an astounding feat,
considering how frugal Toyota was in the past. In 1997, CEO Hiroshi Okuda ordered
managers to come up with $800 million in extra cost savings every year for the
foreseeable future.
Probably the toughest task at Toyota was changing the company culture. To make
tradition-shackled Toyota more multinational in outlook, Okuda intensified his efforts
to flatten the corporate pyramid at headquarters, to pay to performance rather than
seniority, and to promote frustrated young managers. Many older executives were
stripped of fancy titles and given narrower responsibilities to make way for younger
executives. Okuda admitted, however, that it might take years to change the corporate
culture. Programs to further improve service, quality, and marketing were also being
introduced and further organisation changes were planned. To increase U. S. market
penetration, Toyota formed a Racing Development unit which spent tcns of millions
of dollars to develop a winning reputation on the U. S. racing circuit. Toyota even
went so far as to pledge to spend over $8 billion in the U. S to diversify its workforce
and reach out to more minority suppliers and customers, in an effort to more closely
meet society's general cultural expectations in the U. S., where workers generally
accept Toyota as a local manufacturer, Barboza (2002); Hakim (2001). In 2002,

Toyota rcmaincd the quality leader worldwide among all auto manufacturcrs, White &
Lundegaard (2001).
6. Jan Carlzon, CEO of Scandinavian Airlines and author of Moments of Truth
[Carlzon, 19871. When be bad occasion to explain how be bad chosen to empower his
cmployccs and to make them totally responsible for the fifty million "momcnts of
truth" that occur annually when an employee of the company has a direct onc-on-one
contact with a customer, he was often asked how many of these "moments of truth"
had gone sour. Carlzon always readily confessed that there had been half a dozen
serious instances of costly errors in approximately six years. When asked how the
cmployccs responsible for costly errors had been punished, he always answered: NVhy should we have punished them when it was our fault? We believe the task of leaders ... is to articulate the values of the organisation, to create a system in which
people can be productive, and to explain the goals that the system was established to
achieve... If we in top management had done those jobs properly.. those few errors
would not have occurred. That is why we went back to evaluate our own
corrimunication skills" O'Toole (1995).
7. Richard Kovacevich, CEO of Northwest Corp. has been called one of the best
banker in America because of his careful attention to the structures and systems that
keep banks stable and profitable. Kovacevich has inspired his followers with a vision
of transformation-of becoming the Wal-Mart of financial services- and it looks as if
the company is well on its way. At Northwest, for example, the average customer buys nearly four financial products, as opposed to the industry average of two, which
translates into approximately triple the amount of profit for Northwest. Kovacevich
leads with slogans such as "Mind share plus heart share equals market share. "
Although some people think it sounds hokey, Kovacevich and Northwest employees don't care. It's the substance behind the slogans that matters. Employees arc rewarded for putting both their hearts and minds into their work. Kovacevich constantly tells
employees that they are the heart and soul of Northwest and that only through their
cfforts can the company succeed. Under Kovacevich transformational leadership style, Northwest has turned into a banking powerhouse, (Daft, 2002).

Dchavioural Aspects of Trans format ional Leadership on Manufacturing Organisations
One of the transformational leader noted while studying trans form ational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisation, is a leader number 51 of organisation number I (Project Director) who was a high scorer on transformational leadership scale rated by
his followers. Under his leadership, the organisation has made tremendous innovations
in the manufacture of armed vehicles as well as develops valuables parts in house,
which were previously imported from foreign countries. He gives discretion to his
followers in doing theirjobs, and appreciating followers by giving them reward in the
form of bonuses or appreciation certificates. His behaviour enables followers' to build
confidence in them while doing theirjobs and increased his followers' commitment to
work. A non-transformational leader from organisation number 4 (leader number 44 on
organisational structure as shown in on appendix page number ES), a General
Manager who was strict to his followers, and does not favour discretion to his
followers instead he insist on following the rules and procedures. He kccps a distance
from followers for any unnecessary discussion or a chat. His followers were observed
under pressure for meeting the production targets and following the proper
procedures. It was noted by the researcher that as a result of strictness on followers by
their leader, there were quality problems in that organisation and rework as well as
scrap rates were high.
2.17 Possible benerits that transformation leadership might be expected to bring to the manufacturing Industry in Pakistan.
13cncf its that transformational leadership may bring to the manufacturing industry in
Pakistan are:
0. Bringing transformational leadership skills and practices into manufacturing
organisations in Pakistan will have a significant impact on the performance in
manufacturing organisations. Many empirical studies have reported that
transformational leadership has a positive impact on organisational performance, Kirkpatrick & Locke (1996), Avolio, et al (2003), Jung & Sosik
(2002), Avolio (1999). Applying transformational leadership in manufacturing
organisations in Pakistan would increase the innovative capacity of the
74
Behavioural Aspects of Trans fomiational Leadership. in Manufacturitig Organisations
manufacturing organisations, as Daft (2002) described 'applying
transformational leadership in the organisations would increase the innovative
capacity of the organisations'.
It can bring quality improvement in the products because trans fon-national
leaders give discretion to their followers while doing their work and since followers feel self-efficacious, they are likely to be innovative in their work. Followers also communicate cffcctively with each other to learn, and to apply
new skills and technologies to reach organisational goals, Bass (1995),
Ozaralli (2002). According to Bass & Riggio (2006), trans formational leaders
are being observed as doing more to improve quality of production and
service.
It provides satisfaction to followers with their work. As described by Bass
(1998) that not only employees' performance is better when they believe their
leader is transformational, but they are more satisfied with the organisational
performance appraisal systems, Murray et al (2004).
10. It increases followers' commitment to the organisational goals. Berson and Avolio (2004) found that transformational leaders were better able to get followers committed to organisational goals, due to their better abilities to
communicate with followers.
Transformational leadership at all levels in a manufacturing organisation can
make a big difference in the organisation's performance and not just at the top
leadership positions, Bass, (1998). It has been found by Hickman (2004) that
transformational leadership throughout the organisation can increase
profitability.
2.18 Summary
The concept of leadership has drawn heightened attention from social scientists for
many decades. Recently, the focus of leadership has shifted from traditional or
75
13chavioural Aspects of Transfommlional LeadershiR in Manufacturing Orgmisations
transactional models of leadership to a new gcnre of leadership theories, with an
cmphasis on trans formational leadership (Bass, 1985).
Until the early 1980s, the most leadership work in psychology and management was
focused on the more managerial aspects of leadership that Bass labelled
"transactional. " This work was what House (1971) discussed in his path-goal theory
of leadership, as well as what Hersey and Blanchard (1977) referred to in their
situational theory of leadership. By moving the construct of transformational
leadership to the foreground, Bass was able to bring the ficld of leadership research
closer to what the layperson had in his or her mind when asked to describe exemplary
lcadcrship.
Bass (1985) shifted his position on transformational leadership to include a moral
component that was later described as the "idealized, " not "idolized, " component. The
inclusion of the moral component, which was prominent in Bums (1978) reference to
transforming leaders who were "morally uplifting, " has motivated a very important
discussion on what differentiates charismatic leaders from inspirational or
transformational leaders; what differentiates 'good' charismatic leaders from 'bad'
ones. The whole area regarding the measurement of transformational leadership has
stimulated much healthy debate about how it should be measured, and multi-factor leadership questionnaire and transformational leadership questionnaire were
discussed.
This chapter provides the reader with leadership concepts, its approaches, and literature on transformational leadership. It also describes applications of leadership
theories in manufacturing organisations with some real examples of transformational
leaders in industry. It has also described the possible benefits that transformational
Icadership can bring to the manufacturing industry in Pakistan. However there is a gap
bct%vcen transformational leadership research with reference to contingency approach
or situational leadership theory. Literature on transformational leadership, with
situational determinants is silent, i. e., what are the transformational leaders behaviours
with respect to situational determinants, and what are the characteristics of
transformational leaders that make them favourable for today's manufacturing

organisations. For looking into the conccpts of situational dctcmiinants, litcrature on
situational detenninant will be reviewed in the next chapter i. c., chaptcr 3.

Chapter3 Literature Review-Research Questions
3.1 Introduction
This chapter is aimed at introducing the literature reviewed for situational determinants for leadership. According to Bass and others, we know a great deal today
about the actions, behaviour, and influence of trans formational leaders (Bass, 1985,
1999a, b; Bass & Avolio, 1990). However, we know very little about the psychological
substructure, the internal world of these leaders, namcly what "makes them tick" and how they developed this way (Bass 1998, House & Howell, 1992, Judge & Bono,
2000). Transforniational. leadership has an impact on organisational performance (Howell and Avolio, 1993, Parry 1994). The focus of this research is to gain insight
into the leadership of today's manufacturing organisations and to understand how
transformational leaders are effective in manufacturing organisations, Scarborough
(2001). A series of fundamental research questions is presented to address a variety of
basic questions whose answers will. further broaden transformational leadership
research and application to a manufacturing context. Although much survey and
experimentation has been completed on whether task or relations-oriented and
directive or participative leadership emerges and is successful and cffcctive in
structured (compared to non structured) task situation, relatively little has been done
so far to suggest bow transactional or transformational leadership fits better with one
kind of task situation compared to another, Avolio, & Yarnmarino (2002).
Aftcr a review of literature on situational determinants, it was observed that most
prominent scholars of organisational research have focused on variables like
situational strength, attribution theory, feedback, and organisational culture. For
cxample, situational strength (Scarborough, 2001), attribution (Avolio, ct al.
2002, Yuki, 1989), feedback (Scarborough, 2001, Zaccaro & Klimosk-i, 2001, Brian
and Barber, 2004, Parry, 2000, Steyrer, 2002, Daft, (2002)) and organisational culture
(Parry, 1998, Davis, 1984, Brown 1998, Bate, 1994, Ciulla, 1995). These variables
have also been the major focus of understanding leadership i. e., Yuk-l (1998), Bass
(1981,1985,1998), Shackleton (1995), Hughes et al (1993), Hicbert & Matt (2001),
Hunt (1991). These situational determinants are described in details as follows:
78
13chavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadershinin Manufacturing. Organisat'
Thc situational research provides strong evidence that aspects of the situation influcnce the activity pattern and behaviour content of leadcrs (Yukl, 1989).
Situational theories of leader cffectivcness are concerned with the moderating influence of situational variables on the relationship between leader behaviour and
outcomes or between leader traits and outcomes. These theories assume that different
situations require different patterns of behaviour or traits to be cffectivc.
11crscy and Blanchard's (1988) situational leadership theory examines how the
cffcctivcncss of task and relations behaviour is contingent on follower maturity. nic
theory prescribes different combinations of these bchaviours depending on a followces confidence and skill in relation to the task. The theory emphasizes flexible,
adaptive leadership that is responsive to changing conditions.
The path-goal theory (1971) of leadership examines how four aspects (dircctivc,
supportive, participative and achievement-oriented) of leader behaviour influence
follower satisfaction and motivation. In general, leaders motivate followers by
influencing their perceptions of the likely consequences of different levels of cffort. If
followers believe that valued outcomes can be attained only by making a serious cffort
and that such an effort will be successful, then they are likely to make the effort. Aspects of the situation such as the nature of the task, the work environment, and follower characteristics determine the optimal level of each type of leadership
behaviour for improving follower satisfaction and effort.
Vroorn and Yettons normative model (1973) of participation examines the effects of different decision procedures on two intervening variables- decision quality and decision acceptance-which jointly influence group performance. The situational
moderator variables are characteristics of the decision situation that determine whether
a particular decision procedure will increase or decrease decision quality and
acceptance. Leaders are more effective if they use decision procedures that arc
appropriate in a particular situation. Later, the model was extended by Vroom and Jago. The situational theories provide some insights into reasons for leadership
Cffectivcncss, but they all have conceptual weaknesses that limit their utility (Yuki,
1989).

Pchavioural Aspccts of Transformational Leadershipin Manufacwflng Organisat'
3.2 Situational Strength
The first researcher who forinally recognised the importance of the Icadcr, follower,
and situation in the leadership process was Fred Fiedler (1967) with his contingency
model of leadership. The situation may be the most ambiguous aspect of Icadcrship,
the nature of task, the work setting, presence of formal rules and regulations are a few
of the situational variables that can affect the leadership process. 17he situation can
constrain or facilitate a leader's action and leaders can change different aspects of
situation in order to be more cffective (Hughes, Ginnctt, & Curphy, 1993). I'lie
concept of situation strength has been used to study the cffcct of various concepts of
the leadership behaviour (Carpcnter, Golden, 1997, Mullins, & Cummings, 1999,
Carpcntcr, Fredrickson, 2001). A framework of situational strength by Mischel (1977)
is defined as those strong situations in which most actors construe the situation in the
same way, most draw similar conclusions as to appropriate responses, and most are
Inotivated and able to respond. In strong situations, the situation itself provides
incentives to make the appropriate response, and the necessary skills to respond arc
present in most individuals. A red traffic light is an example of a strong situation.
hlischel argues that in strong situations, but not weak ones, situational factors
dominate individual differences in determining decision-makcrs courses of action.
Thus, the behavior of drivers at red lights is better predicted by the color of the light
than by the traits and dispositions of individual drivers, even though a few drivers do
run red lights. Conversely, weak situations are defined by Mischel as those in which
there is ambiguity about the meaning of the situation and the appropriateness of
various responses, where incentives for any particular response are unclear, and where
individuals' ability to respond may vary. According to Mischcl, individual differences
play a more significant role in such situations (e. g. a yellow traffic light), since no
clear directions are provided by the situation (Mischel, 1977).
Among the most successful leadership models is a group characterized as contingency
or situational models (described in chapter 2). The common theme of these models is
that there is not one best way to lead; effective leaders adapt to their behaviours to
each unique situation (Hiebert & Klatt, 2001). Situations may be defined entirely in
terms of rule. Rules may specify what should and should not happen, what should be
worn., and how to deal with different situations (Magnusson & Endlcr, 1977).
80
13chavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadushin in Manufaciftiring-Organisations
It is also likely that the type of employee in the strong situation company will have
adapted to that strong situation and will not challenge the system. This is not true of
the weak situation where the individual is probably more used to, and acccpting of,
ambiguity and a lack of a strong company policy, and is likely to deliver an individual
response akin to their own ways of behaving in the particular situation.
Thc Trait approach assumes that how people will behave in novel, ambiguous, or what
we call "weak" situations. Situations that are governed by clearly specified rules, demands, or organisational policies-"strong" situations-often minimize the effects traits have on behaviour, Hughes, Ginnett & Curphy (1993).
As a good example for leadership effectiveness by Jenkins (2005), quoted here; in
soccer, what is the primary leadership style for a coach? Delegating on the sidelines and leaving the execution of the game to the team and its players. The delegating
coach "empowers the team to act independently (from the leader), " with the coach
providing the "appropriate resources to get the job done.
To know about the behaviours of transformational leaders in manufacturing
organisations with respect to situational strength, the first research question can be
stated as:
Research Question No. I: Do transformational leaders create a weak situation for their followers In
manufacturing organisations?
Situation strength key phrases noted during the interviews of manufacturing leaders
and during study of manufacturing organisations were: process sheets and drawings of
the parts to be manufacturcd/assembled are clearly def'tncd/docwncnted and arc
available for followers; quality assurances requirements are available for the
assessment of quality matters; rules and regulation exist in the organisation; a standard
code of conduct for employees is available in the organisations; discretion given to
followers by their leader in performing their jobs can be described as strong
situational variables.
81

On the contrary, if these variables are absent in manufacturing organisations, the
situation strength is defined as 'weak'. A table of situational strcngth variables so dcrincd by the researcher in terms of situational strength for manufacturing
organisations is shown in table 3.1

3.3 Attribution Theory
Attribution theory is derived from Heidces (1954) concept of people as 'naive
psychologists'. In this concept, people actively search for explanations of the
behaviour that they observe, and forni hypotheses as to the causes of the behaviour
82
13chavioural Aspects ofTransfo=tionalLeadersliipinlianxifacturinjOrganisal' -.
that they obscrvc. The resulting causal attributions detcmiinc, in turn, cognitive,
affcctivc, and bchavioural responses toward tile actor. Wcincr (Wcincr ct al 1972)
proposed a simple two-dimensional representation of causal attributions, based on
perceptions of dimensions of locus of causality and stability. Ilicsc dimensions, in
turn, defined four basic typcs of causal attribution. Effort and ability arc internal
attributions. Effort is unstable, while ability is stable. The external attributions arc task
difficulty (stable) and luck (unstable).
Attribution theory entered the mainstream of organisational literature with the
publication of Green and Mitchell (1979), followed shortly after by Knowlton and
Mitchell (1980) and Mitchell, Green and Wood (1981). In the attribution model of
leadership, follower's pcrfonnancc observed by the leader is translated into the
leader's bchavioural response based on his or her attributions as to tile causes of the
followers behaviour.
Some leadership theories, seek to clarify the construct of leadership by cxamining
what leadership consists of (e. g., traits, bchaviours). Others arc more concerned with
the process of leadership; that is, how leaders decide what action to take and the
impact of those actions on others (e. g., the path-goal model). This distinction is
applicable to the attribution leadership research. For example, one line of research has
demonstrated how descriptions of leader behaviour are affected by such factors as
knowledge of group performance (Butterfield, Powcll, & Mainicro, 1978; Farris &
Lim, 1969; Lord, Binning, Rush, & Thomas, 1978; Mitchell, Larson, & Green, 1977;
Rush, Thomas, & Lord, 1977).
A second line of attribution research, rather than attempting to tap these implicit
leadership theories, seeks to determine their effects on the leadership process. At the
forefront of this line of inquiry is a two-step attributional. model of leadership
proposed by Green and Mitchell (1979). This model suggests that leaders, given
evidence of follower performance, infer the cause of the performance (i. e., make
attributions) prior to determining the appropriate action to take. This model has
evoked a series of direct empirical tests (Green & Liden, 1980; ligen, Mitchell. &
Fredrickson, 1981; Mitchell & Kalb, 1981; Knowlton & Mitchell, 1980; McFillen &
83
Behavioural Aspects of Trans fonnal imnaMcadcrship-in-M anufacturing Organisations
New, 1979; Mitchell & Wood, 1980, Mitchell & Lidcn, 1982; Mitchell, Grccn, &
Wood, 198 1; Wood & Mitchell, 198 1).
Attribution theory describes how individuals develop causal explanations for
bchaviours and outcomes, and how their causal cxplanations influcncc subsequent
reactions (Martinko, 1995). Although thcre arc many variations of attribution theory,
research on attributions has primarily focuscd on two conccptual approaches; (1)
achievement motivation models (e. g., Wcincr, 1986) which cmphasizc how
individuals explain their own successes and failures; and (2) obscrvcr models (e. g., Kelley, 1973) which emphasize how individuals explain the bchaviours and outcomes
of others.
Attribution theory has played a prominent role in the dcvclopmcnt of the attributional leadership model (e. g. Green & Mitchell, 1979; Mitchell, Green, & Wood, 1981). The
attributional leadership model is grounded in the concept of responsibility assignment. The leader makes observations to determine which causal factors are responsible for
the followers behaviour and outcomes. These attributions about causality then
influence the leadees reactions to the follower.
An important determinant of the casual attributions developed by a leader is the
leadces information processing of the followees behaviour along the three dimensions
of Kelley's (1967) covariation model: (1) distinctiveness - did the followces
behaviour occur during the performance of this task only? (2) consistency is this behaviour unusual for the follower in other situations? (3) consensus is this behaviour unusual for the follower's cohort? The conclusions reached on these three dimensions influence whether the leader makes causal attributions of responsibility for
the behaviour to the follower (an internal attribution) or to some aspect of the follower's situation (an external attribution).
The attributional leadership model also posits that leaders evaluate follower
behaviours by using classification schema such as the classical two-dimensional
model of Weiner et al (1972). The Weiner model is composed of (1) a locus of control dimension which delineates whether the primary cause of the behaviour is a
characteristic of the follower (an internal attribute) or a characteristic of the situation
84
Behavioural Aspects of TgnsfDrmational LeadershipjaManufacturine Organisations
(an cxternal attribute); and (2) a stability dimension which delineates wlictlicr or not the follower's bchaviour is likely to rcmain constant (stable) or change ovcr time
(unstable). The crossing of the locus of control and stability dimcnsions produces a2 by 2 matrix of four causal factors that a leader can utilize to explain a followces
behaviour: stablc/intcmat (ability); stabic/cxtcmal (task difficulty); unstablctcxtcmal (luck/chancc); unstable/internal (effort).
As a leader determines the causal factor(s) for a follower's performance, the ascribed
attributions influence both the leader's expectations for future performance and his or her behaviour toward the follower. Leaders are more likely to take corrective action
toward the situation when performance problems are attributed primarily to external
causal factors. In contrast, leaders arc more likely to take corrective action toward the
follower when a performance problem is primarily attributed to internal factors
(Mitchell & Wood, 1980). In addition, corrective action is more likely to be punitive
in nature when the leader attributes poor performance to a lack of cffort, as compared
to a lack of ability.
Ile relationship, which exists between leaders and their followers, can play an important role in determining performance and satisfaction of all of the individuals
involved in the relationship, and how both perceive the actions of the other and to
what they attribute to those actions. Attribution theory suggests that any event can have a variety of causes. This gives rise to the idea that we all act as 'naive
psychologists' in trying to create some order out of the abundance of possibilities,
which arc presented to us in our lives. Therefore, attribution theory can be defined as
the manner in which people try to discover cause-and-effect relationships in the
events, which occur around them. This attribution process is crucial to Icader-follower
relations.
Attribution theory suggests that we observe the behaviour of others and then attributc
causes to it. Initially put forward by Heider (1958), attribution theory focuses on the inferences that arc used to deduce someone else's disposition or traits, from
observations of their behaviour. it has the advantages and disadvantages of being tied
to a relatively small number of core theoretical statements Ileidcr (1958), Jones &
85
lichavioural Aspects of Trans fomiational Leadershil? in Manufacturing OrConisations
Davis (1965) & Kelly (1967). Central to 11cicices theory is the proposal that people
see bcbaviour as being caused either by the individual in question (i. e. dispositional),
or by the cnvironmcnt (situational). It makes a distinction between internal and
external causes - that is, whether people initiate actions themselves, or purely rcact to
the environment in which the action takes place.
Research shows that people do have a strong tendency to attribute others' actions to
internal, dispositional factors when evidence to the contrary is lacking
(Shacklcton, 1995). The question is: how do we decide what type of attribution to
make? Kelley's Co-variation Model (1967) extends the work of Ilcidcr and attempts to
explain exactly how we make judgements about internal and external causes. The
principle of co-variation states that an cffect is attributed to one of its possible causes,
with which over time, it co-varies' (Kelley, 1967). That is to say that if two events
repeatedly occur together, we are more likely to infcr that they arc causally related
than if they very rarely occur together. Kelley's model suggests that if the behaviour to
be explained is thought of as an effect of something, which has occurred, the cause
can be one of three kinds. The extent to which the behaviour co-varics with each of
these three kinds of possible cause is what people actually base their attribution upon.
The attribution theory of leadership suggests that a leadeesjudgcment about his or her
employees' actions is influenced by the leadees attribution of the causes of the employees' performance. That is to say, leaders observe the performance of their followers and then try to understand why the followers' behaviour met, exceeded, or failed to meet the leadees expectations. The leadces attributions of employees' behaviour then dctcm-dne how the leader responds, just as much as does the actual behaviour itself
Once an attribution has been made as to the cause of an employee's behaviour, the manager or leader then selects actions to deal with the behaviour. Thus, if a leader attributes a followces poor performance to internal factors such as low effort or a lack of ability, he or she may reprimand, dismiss, or provide training for the employee concerned. If, however, poor performance is attributed to external factors such as a lack of material, or to work overload, the leader would need to conccntmte on these factors and improve the situation instead of giving negative feedback to the employee.

Behavioural Aspects of Tnnsformational Leadcrship in Man factur'nZDrea n isat ions
Mitchell and wood (1979) have developed an attributional model of leadership which
attempts to link leader's actions to employees poor pcrfbrmancc as shown on figurc
3.1. This shows the connection and relationship between the components of
cmployce's observation, information eucs (i. e., distinctiveness, consistency and
consensus, casual attribution, perceived sources of responsibility and, finally the
response that the leader makes.
Green and Mitchell's (1979) two-stage model describes the manncr in which
supervisors respond to poorly performing followers. In the first step of the process, the
leader diagnoses the cause of the employee's incffective performance using Kelley's
(1967) co-variation principle. Leaders analyse the follower's behaviour with regard to
its consistency over time, distinctiveness across settings and consensus across
employees. They then attribute the poor performance to factors that are either internal
or external to follower. In the second step of the model, leaders implement a
corrective response to improve the performance. Green and Mitchell predict that
leaders will select more punitive, corrective actions when poor performance is
attributed to factors intemal to the follower.

3.4 Explanations In terms of Cause
Fischhoff (1976) has noted that psychologists - especially those interested in
attribution theory should read some philosophy. Many, perhaps most, of us lack a
training in the conceptual analysis that characterizes philosophy, but we can bcncrit
from the attention philosophers have devoted to such questions as what is 'bchavioue
(Drctskc, 1988), what is an'cvcnt'(Paclitcr, 1974), what is a'disposition' (Rozcboom,
1973) or, what is a 'cause? It is, to say the least, ironic that an idea so fundamental to
attribution theory - the concept of causality - has received so little attention in tile
social-psychological literature (Shaver, 198 1).
The classic approach is that of David Hume, (1975) his prototypical example of
causality was one billiard ball striking another - the collision is followed by movement
of the previously stationary ball, but is not seen as producing it. Many dcrinitions of
cause are to be found in Hume's work, but perhaps the clearest is the following:
A cause is said to be an object followed by another, and where all the objects similar
to the first arc followed by objects similar to the second, where, if the first object had
not been, the second had not existed, Hume (1975).
Hume's causality is typically rcfcrrcd to as 'constant conjunction! (e. g., Aycr, 1980)
and the definition above certainly conveys the meaning of covariation between cause
and cffect, which is fundamental to Kelley's (1967) theory of causal attribution. John Stuart Mill's 1973) conception of cause has significantly influenced attribution theory, via Kcllcys (1967) theory. Mill wrote that the cause is the sum total of the
conditions positive and negative taken together which being realized, the consequent invariably follows' (quoted by Davidson, 1967). As Davidson cited, is whether the
true cause must include all the antecedent conditions that were jointly sufficient for
the effect. Mill argued that what people ordinarily call the cause is one of these
conditions, arbitrarily selected, which becomes inaccurately labelled 'the cause'. To
distinguish between the cause and mere conditions Hart and Honore (1961) use two factors or contrasts, these are the contrasts between what is abnormal in relation to any
given subject-mattcr and between a free deliberate human action and all other
conditions. For example, asked what is the cause of a railway accident, one would
assume until corrected that the train was moving at normal speed, carrying a normal
88
weight, that the driver stopped and started, acccicrated and slowed down at nornial times. To mention these nornial conditions would obviously provide no explanation of the disaster, for they arc also present wlicn no disastcr occurs; wlicrcas the mention of bcnt rail does provide an explanation. Accordingly, though all the conditions mentioned arc equally necessary, the bcnt rail is the cause and the othcrs arc mcrc conditions. It is the bcnt rail we say which 'made the diffcrcncc' bctNvccn disaster and normal functioning. (Ilart and Ilonorc, 1961)
Some similar ideas have also been put forward by Mackie (1974) with rcfcrcncc to the idea of a 'causal field'. In Mackie's words, Toth cause and cffcct are seen as diffcrcnccs within a ficld; anything that is part of the assumed (but commonly instated) description of the field itself will, thcn, be automatically ruled out as a
candidate for the role of causc'(Mack-ic, 1974).
Leaders attribute to the causes of poor pcrformancc defined by the rcscarchcr in terms
of manufacturing organisations are defined as cithcr intcrnal or cxtcrnal attributions.
Internal attributions include follower's lack of intcrcst, inexpcricnccd followers,
abscntccism by followers, or any other cause due to follower's side. Extcrnal causes include, poor performance mainly due to machines break down, toot break down,
material inventory problem, material quality problem, or any other cause by external factors, which are beyond control of followers: to know about the attributions made by

Feedback is central to leadership (London, 2002). It is the key to leadcrs'scif-insight.
Without fccdback, leaders would be in tile dark about the effects of their decisions and
actions on their organisations and their relationships. Feedback stcms from a number
of sources. Some fccdback comes from objective data: information about finances
(reports of expenses and revenues), human resources (data on employee turnover,
numbers attending various training courses, salary surveys in the labour market outside the firm), and business processes (error rates, projects completed on time, inventory). Other feedback comes from subjective data: comments or ratings from
one's supervisor, followers, peers, customers, and/or suppliers.
Feedback is vital to leadership (Hughes ct al 1993). Feedback is generally acknowledged as an essential ingredient for cffective leadership (Hicbcrt & Klatt, 2001). It is a fundamental part of the process leading people towards behaviour and performance that are appropriate to any given situation. Feedback on how one is doing is essential to grow and improve performance (Rolland & Bee, 1996). Meaningful feedback is central to performance. Fcedback is the information people receive about their performance. It conveys information about behaviours, and it conveys an evaluation about the quality of those bchaviours (London, 1997). Feedback can come from a number of sources. It can come directly from the tasks; it can come from other
90
pcoplc - supcrvisors, followers, pccrs, and customers. Feedback can be a way to
gatlicr accurate information about oneself. It can also be used to control what otlicrs
think of oneself, or to protect one's cgo (Morrison & Vancouvcr, 1993). People
usually take credit for success and attribute blame to cxtcmal causes (Levy, 1991)
Studics show that good leadcrs communicate fcclings and ideas, actively solicit new ideas from others, and cffcctivcly articulate argumcnts, and pcrsuadc others (Bcnnis &
Nauus, 1985, Kanter, 1983, Parks, 1985). Effective communications skills arc important bccausc they provide leaders and followers with grcatcr access to
information relevant to important organisational decisions (Ficchtncr & Kraycr,
1986).
Leaders and followers can enhance the clarity of their communications in several
ways, the leader may brief a new organisational policy to followers, and they may
come up with different interpretations of this policy based on different values and
expectations. By being sensitive to followers' framcs of reference and modifying
messages accordingly, leaders can minimize communication breakdowns. Another
way to clarify messages is to create a common framc of reference for followers before
communicating a message. According to Curphy (1997), leaders can enhance the
Icarning value of their experiences by (a) creating opportunities to get feedback, (b)
taking a 10 percent stretch, (c) learning from others, (d) keeping a journal of daily
leadership events, and (e) having a developmental plan.
3.5.1 Creating opportunities to get feedback
It may be difficult for leaders to get relevant feedback, particularly if they occupy
powerful positions in an Organisation. Yet leaders oflcn need feedback more than followers do. Leaders may not learn much from their leadership cxpcricnccs if they
get no feedback about how they are doing. Therefore, they may need to create
opportunities to get fccdback, especially with regard to feedback from those working for them. Leaders should not assume they have invited feedback merely by saying that
they have an "opcn-door" policy. A mistake some bosses make is presuming that
others perceive them as open to discussing things just because they say they are open
to discussing things. How truly open a door is, clearly, is in the eye of the beholder. In
91
that sense, the key to constructive dialogue (i. e., fcodback) is not just expressing a
policy but also being perceived as approachable and sincere in tile offcr. Some of tile
most hclpful information for developing own Icadcrship can come from asking for
fccdback from others about their perceptions of behaviour and its impact on the
group's overall cffcctivcncss. Unless leaders ask for fccdback, thcy may not get it.
3.5.2 Taking a 10 perccnt strc(ch
The phrase 10 percent stretch conveys the idea or voluntary but determined cfforts to
improve leadership skills. Several positive outcomes arc associated with leaders who
regularly practice the 10 percent stretch. First, their apprehension about doing
something new or different gradually decreases. Second, leaders will broaden their
rcpcrtoirc of leadership skills. Third, because of this increased repertoire, their
cffcctivcness will likely increase. Finally, leaders regularly taking a 10 pcrccnt stretch
Nvill model something very valuable to others. One final aspect of the 10 percent
stretch is worth mcntioning that the phrase is so appealing it sounds like a measurable
yet manageable change.
3.5.3 Learning from others.
Leaders learn from others, first of all, by recognizing they can learn from others and, importantly, from any others. That may seem sclf-cvidcnt, but in fact people often limit what and whom they pay attention to, and thus what they may learn from.
Similarly, leaders also can learn by asking questions and paying attention to everyday
situations. An especially important time to ask questions is when leaders are new to a
group or activity and have some responsibility for it. When possible, leaders should
talk to the person who previously had the position in order to benefit from their
insights, cxpcricncc, and assessment of the situation. Lcadcrs can learn a lot by
actively observing how others react to and handle different challenges and situations,
even very common ones.
92
3.5.4 Keeping a journal.
Another way leaders can "mine" experiences for their richness and preserve their Icarning is by keeping a journal (Csikszcntmilialyi, 1990). Journals are similar to diaries, but they arc not just accounts of a days events. A journal should include
entries that address some aspect of leaders or leadcrship.
711crc arc at least three good reasons for keeping a journal. First, the very process of writing increases the likelihood that leaders will be able to look at an event from a different perspective or fccl differently about it. Putting an experience into words can be a step toward taking a more objective look at it. Second, leaders can (and should) rc-rcad earlier entries. Earlier entries provide an interesting and valuable autobiography of a Icadces evolving thinking about leadership and about particular events in his or her life. Third, journal entries provide a repository of ideas that leaders
may later want to use more formally for papers, pcp talks, or speeches.
3.5.5 Having a developmental plan.
Leadership development almost certainly occurs in ways and on paths that arc not
completely anticipated or controlled. That is no reason, however, for leaders to avoid
actively directing some aspects of their own development. A systematic plan outlining
self-improvement goals and strategies help leaders take advantage of opportunities they otherwise might overlook. Developing a systematic plan also help leaders
prioritisc the importance of different goals, so that their cfforts can be put into areas with the greatest relative payoffs. Leaders look for opportunities on the job or in
volunteer work- for responsibilities that may further their growth. Leaders however
recognize, that they may experience conflict--both internal and cxtcmal-betNvecn doing more of what they already do well and stretching developmentally.
Feedback variables for the Icadcrs in manufacturing organisations defined by the
researcher in terms of manufacturing organisations arc, having daily/casual meetings
, %vith followers, discussing %vith followers during job execution, evaluating daily
performance of followers, revicwing production rcports, and reviewing production targets. To know about how leaders get fccdback in manufacturing organisations and

manufacturing organisations?
3.6 Organisational Culture
One of the most widely researched areas in organisational research is the organisation
culture. An organisational culture affects its leadership as much as its leadership
affects the culture, Bass (1998). If an organisational culture has in place values and guides for autonomy at lower levels, management will be unable to increase its
personal powers. Decisions about recruitment, selection, and placement within the
organisation will be affected by the organisations' values and norms. Leaders need to be attentive to the rites, beliefs, values, and assumptions embedded in the
organisational culture. They can help or hinder efforts to change the organisation,
when it must move in new directions as a consequence of changes in the internal and
external environment of the organisation.
An important source of insight into the dynamics of transformational leadership is
provided by research and theory on organisational. culture, Yukl (1989).
Organisational. culture is the "glue" that holds the organisation together as a source of
identity and distinctive competence (Bass, 1991). As posed by Bass (1998) that can
organisational. cultures be usefully described in terms of how much leaders are
transactional or transformational?
The organisational. culture is a learned pattern of behaviour, shared from one
generation to the next (Deal & Kennedy, 1982). It includes the values and
assumptions shared by members about what is right, what is good, and what is
important
94
Dchavioural AsD: cts of Trans forrmt ionaLL-cadershili in-Manufacturing, Organisations
Most organ i sational -schol ars and obscrvcrs now rccognize that organisational culture has a powcrful cffcct on the performance and long-tcrin cffcctivcness of organisations. Empirical research has produced an impressive array of findings dcmonstrating the importance of culture in enhancing organisational pcrformancc (Camcron & Ettington,
1988; Dcnison, 1990: and Trice & Beyer, 1993). Kottcr and lieskctt (1992), dcrincd
culture as a critical factor in long-tcrni financial success.
3.7 The Meaning of Organisation Culture
It was not until the bcginrting of the 1980s that organisational scholars began paying
serious attention to the concept of culture (e. g., Ouchi, 1981; Pascale &Athos. 1981;
Peters & Waterman. 1982; Deal & Kennedy, 1982). This is one of the few areas, in
fact, in which organisational scholars led practicing managers in identifying a crucial factor affecting organisational performance. Organisational culture has been an area in
which conccptual work- and scholarship have provided guidance for managers as they
have searched to ways to improve their organisations'cffectiveness.
Of course, there are many kinds or levels of culture that affect individual and
organisational behaviour. At the broadest level, a global culture, such as a world
religion's culture or the culture of the Eastern hemisphere would be the highest level.
Researchers such as Hofstede (1980), Aiken and Bacharach (1979), and Trompcraars
(1992) have reported marked differences among continents and countries based on
certain key dimensions. For example, national differences exist among countries on
the basis of universalism versus particularism, individualism versus collectivism,
neutrality versus emotionality, specificity versus diffuseness, focus on achievement
versus ascription, focus on past versus present versus future, and an internal focus
versus an external focus (Trompcmars, 1992). According to Cameron & Quinn, (1999,
2006), there arc four basic types of organisational cultures, which can be assessed by
Organisational Cultural Assessment Instrument (OCAI) as Hierarchy, Market, Clan,
and Adhocracy and described as follows:
95
3.7.1 The Illerarchy Culture
The carlicst approach to organizing in the modern cra was based on the work of a German sociologist, Max Weber, who studied government organisations in Europe during the 1900s. The major challenge faced by organisations at the beginning of the industrial revolution- the time Weber wrotc-was to produce cfficicntly goods and
services for an increasingly complex society. To accomplish this end, Weber proposed seven characteristics that have become known as the classical attributes of bureaucracy (rules, specialization, mcritocracy, hierarchy, separate owncrship, impersonality, accountability) Weber (1947). TIcse characteristics were highly
cffcctivc in accomplishing their purpose. They were adopted widely in organisations
whose major challenge was to generate efficient, reliable, smooth-flowing, predictable
output. In fact, until the 1960s, almost every book on management and organisational
studies made the assumption that Wcbces hierarchy or bureaucracy was the ideal form
of organisation, because it led to stable, efficient, highly consistent products and
services, Cameron & Quinn (1999).
inasmuch as the environment was relatively stable, tasks and functions could be
integrated and coordinated, uniformity in products and services was maintained, and
workers and jobs were under control. Clear lines of decision-making authority,
standardized rules and procedures, and control and accountability mechanisms were
valued as the keys to success.
The organisational culture compatible with this form is characterized by a formalized
and structured place to work. Procedures govern what people do. Effective leaders arc
good coordinators and organizers. Maintaining a smooth-running organisation is
important. The long-term concerns of the organisation are stability, predictability, and
cfficicncy. Formal rules and policies hold the organisation together.
Large organisations and governmcnt agencies arc generally dominated by a hierarchy G,
culture, as evidenced by large numbers of standardized procedures, multiple hierarchical levels, and an emphasis on rule-rcinforccmcnt.
96
Dchavioural Aspccts of Trans formationaLltAdcrshipin 1--fanuracturing Organisafions
Organisations ranging from a typical fast-food restaurant (e. g. McDonald's) to major
conglomerates (like Ford Motor Company) and govcmmcnt agencies provide
protypical examples of a hierarchy culture. Large organisations and govcmmcnt
agencies arc gcnerally dominated by a hierarchy cultures, as evidenced by large
numbcrs of standardiscd procedures, multiple hicrarchical levels (Ford has scvcntccn levels of managcment, and an emphasis on rule rcinrorccmcnt. Even in small
organisations such as a Me Donald's restaurant, however, a hicrarchy culture can
dominate, Camcron & Quinn (2006).
3.7.2 The Market Culture
Another form of organizing became popular during the late 1960s as organisations
were faced with new competitive challenges. Ibis form relicd on a fundamentally
different set of assumptions than the hicrarchY and was based largely on the work of
Oliver Williamson, Bill Ouchi, and their colleagues (Williamson. 197S; Ouchi, 1981).
These organisational scholars identified an alternative set of activities that they argued
served as the foundation of organisational cffcctivcness. The most important of these
was transaction costs.
The new design was rcfcnrd to as a market forni of organisation. The term market is
neither synonymous with the marketing function nor with customers in the
marketplace. Rather, it refers to a type of organisation that functions as a market itsclt
it is oriented toward the external cnviroruncnt instead of internal affairs. It is focused
on transactions with (mainly) external constituencies including suppliers, customers,
contractors, licensees, unions, regulators, and so forth. In addition, unlike a hierarchy
where internal control is maintained by rules, specialized jobs, and centralized
decisions, the market operates primarily through economic market mechanisms,
mainly monetary exchange. That is, the major focus of markets is to conduct
transactions (exchanges. sales, contracts) with other constituencies to create
competitive advantage. Profitability, bottom line results, strength in market niches,
stretch targets, and secure customer bases are primary objectives of the organisation.
Not surprisingly, the core values that dominate market type organisations are
competitiveness and productivity,
97
Compctitivcness and productivity in markct organisations are achieved through a strong cmphasis on cxtcmal positioning and control. For example as Gcncral
Electric's forincr CEO, Jack Welch, made it clear in the late 1980s that if GE
busincsscs were not numbcr one or numbcr two in thcir markcts, they would be sold. Welch bought and sold ovcr three hundrcd busincsscs during his twenty-one year tcnurc as CEO. The GE culture undcr Wclch was known as a highly competitive. It
rcflectcd a stereotypical market culture, Camcron & Quinn (2006).
The basic assumptions in a market culture arc that the external environment is not
benign but hostile, consumers arc choosy and interested in value, the organisation is in
the business of increasing its competitive position, and the major task of management
is to drive the organisation toward productivity, results, and profits. It is assumed that
a clear purpose and an aggressive strategy lead to productivity and profitability. A
market culture, as assessed in the OCAI, is a rcsults-oricnted workTiace. Leaders arc
hard-driving producers and competitors. They are tough and demanding. The glue that
holds the organisation together is an emphasis on winning. The long-term concern is
on competitive actions and achieving stretch goals and targets. Success is dcfincd in
terms of market share and penetration. Outpacing the competition and market
leadership are important.
3.7.3 The Clan culture
The clan culture is called a clan because of its similarity to a family-type organisation.
After studying Japanese firms in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a number of
researchers observed fundamental differences between the market and hierarchy forms
of design in America and clan forms of design in Japan (Ouchi. 1981; Pascale &
Athos, 1981; Lincoln, 2003). Shared values and goals, cohesion, participativeness, individuality, and a sense of we-ness permeated clan-type firms. 'Mey seemed more
like extended families than economic entities. Instead of the rules and procedures of
hierarchies or the competitive profit centers of markets, typical charactcristics of clan-
type firms were teamwork-, employee involvement programs, and corporate
commitment to employees. These characteristics were evidenced by scmiautonomous
98
Behavioural Aspects of-Transforrmtion3l ]LcadcrshiD iri Manufacturing Orguisationi
work tcams that received rewards on the basis of team (not individual)
accomplisluncrit and that hired and fired their own members, quality circles that
cncoumgcd workers to voice suggestions regarding how to improve their own work
and the performance of the company, and an empowering environment for cmployccs.
Some basic assumptions in a clan culture arc that the environment can best be
managed through teamwork and employee development, customers arc best thought
of as partners, the organisation is in the business of developing a liumanc work
environment, and the major task of management is to empower employees and
facilitate their participation, commitment, and loyalty.
An example of clan-type organisation was People Express Airlines in its first rive
years of operation-until its founder, Don Burr, encountered financial difficulties that
led him to sell the company to avoid bankruptcy. After leaving Taxas Air in 1980,
Burr dreamed of creating not just a profitable airline but a model of how ideal
organisations ought to function. Burr brought with him several other officials from
Texas Air and within two years had dcfied all experts' predictions by tuming a profit-
the most dramatic success story in the history of the airline industry.
The clan culture, as assessed in the OCAT, is typiried by a fricndly place to work
whcrc people share a lot of themselves. It is like an extended family. Leaders arc
thought of as mentors and, perhaps, even as parent figures. The organisation is held
together by loyalty and tradition. Commitment is high. The organisation emphasizes
the long-term benefit of individual development with high cohesion and morale being
important. Success is defined in terms of internal climate and concern for people. The
organisation places a premium on teamwork, participation, and consensus.
3.7.4 The Adhocracy Culture
As the developed world shifted from the industrial age to the information age, a fourth
ideal type of organizing emerged. It is an organisational form that is most responsive
to the hyper-turbulent, hyper-accclcrating conditions that increasingly typify the
organisational world of the twcnty-first century. With rapidly decreasing half-life of
product and service advantages, a set of assumptions were developed that diffcrcd
from those of the previous three forms of organisation. Tlicse assumptions were that

innovative and pioneering initiatives arc what lead to success, that organisations arc
mainly in the business of developing new products and services and preparing for the

and activity on the cutting edge. It was assumed that adaptation and innovativencss
lead to new resources and profitability, so emphasis was placed on creating a vision of
the future, organized anarchy, and disciplined imagination
The root of the word adhocracy is ad-hoc rcfcrring to a tcmporary. specialized, dynamic unit. Most people have served on an ad hoc task force or committee, which disbands as soon as its task is complctcdL Adhocracics arc similarly temporary. They
have been characterized as "tents rather than palaces" in that they can reconfigurc
thcmsclvcs rapidly whcn ncw circumstances arise. A major goal of an adhocracy is to
foster adaptability, flexibility, and creativity whcrc uncertainty, ambiguity, and/or
infon-nation-ovcrload are typical.
The adhocracy organisation may frequently be found in industries such as aerospace,
software development, think-tank consulting, and filmmaking, Camcron & Quinn
(1999). An important challenge of these organisations is to produce innovative
products and services and to adapt quickly to new opportunities. Unlike markets or
hierarchies, adhocracies do not have centralized power or authority relationships.
instead, power flows from individual to individual or from task team to task team
depending on what problem is being addressed at the time. A high emphasis on
individuality, risk taking, and anticipating the future exists as almost everyone in an
adhocracy becomes involved with production, clients, research and development, and
so forth. For example, each different client demand in a consulting firm is treated as
an independent project, and a temporary organisational design is set up to accomplish
the task-. When the project ends, the structure disintegrates. Sometimes adhocratic
subunits exist in larger organisations that have a dominant culture of a different type.
Story of successful failure of Apollo 13 space mission illustrates clearly how
leadership changes regularly and often unpredictably, team membership is temporary,
and no clear map can be drawn to identify the communication or control system.
During the flight, astronauts in the space capsule as well as support personnel on the
ground were not organised in a stable way for very long. Different problems
100
demanded different types of task tcams to address them, leadership shif1cd often, and even the piloting of the spacecraft switched from one astronaut to another. I'his was typical of the entire Manned Space Flight Centre at NASA. Its formal structure
changed seventeen times in the first eight years of its existence. No organisational
chart was ever drawn because it would have been outdated before it could be printed. Jurisdictional lines, precedents, and policies were treated as temporary. Titles, job
responsibilities, and even departmental alignments changed, sometimes weekly. I'lic
organisation operated with an adhocratic, design and rcflccted values typical of an
adhocracy culture.
The adhocracy culture, as assessed in the OCAI, is characterized by a dynamic,
entrepreneurial, and creative workTiacc. People stick their necks out and take risks. Effective leadership is visionary, innovative, and risk-oricnted. The glue that holds tile
organisation together is commitment to experimentation and innovation. The emphasis is on being at the leading edge of new knowledge, products, and/or services. Readiness for change and meeting new challenges are important. Ile organisation! s long-term emphasis is on rapid growth and acquiring new resources. Success means
producing unique and original products and services.
To know about which organisational culture is the most favourite culture for
transformational leaders in manufacturing organisations, a fourth research question is
needed, stated as:
Research Question No. 4.: Is clan culture the most common cultural environment created or existing In parallel with transformational leadership?
3.8 Points of convergence among approaches
Studies on transformational leadership have come up with some link-age with
intervening variables like situation strength, attribution, feedback, and organisation
culture. These intervening variables have generated a number of convergent results.
101
Transformational leaders dcvclop followers to tackle problems using their own unique
and innovative perspective and followers become more cffcctivc problem solvers with
and without the leader's facilitation. The concept of situation strcngdi focused on
perceived managerial discretion and role of individual in initiating proactivc change,
so there secms some linkage between transformational leadership and situation
strength, as to how transformational leadership, transforms followers as problem
solvers and an agent of change and increasing conridcncc in them.
Transformational leaders concentrate on diagnosing the needs and capabilities of follower's. They diagnose follower's nccds and attend to them individually.
Attribution theory states that, leaders observe the performance of their followers and then try to understand how follower's behaviour met, exceed, or failed to meet leader's expectations. The leader's attribution of follower's behaviour then determines
how the leader responds. Transformational leadership should have some relationship
with the attribution made by leaders about their followers.
Feedback is one transformational leadership characteristic, i. e., leader provides feedback for use in the personal development of followers. Leadership behaviour
rMcarch indicates that a large part of managerial activity involves gathering,
analysing, and disseminating information (Yuk-1,1989). Behaviour categories that
emphasize information exchange include monitoring, informing, and clarifying.
I. Ionitoring includes gathering information about the operations of their work unit and
scarming events in the external environment to detect problems, threats, and
opportunities, to evaluate progress in implcmcnting plans and strategies, and to
evaluate the performance of the work unit and of individual followers. Informing
behaviour involves the managces role as a "linking pin" or "ncrve center" to mediate
information flows among followers and bct-%vccn followers and people outside of the
managces organisational unit. Managers are an important source of technical
information necessary to facilitate the work of followers. This gives an idea that
transformational leaders are more concerned about feedback to evaluate the progress
and to take any further action, which may be required to further improve performance.
An important source of insight into the dynamics of trans formati onal Icadcrship, is
provided by research and theory on organisational culture (Yukl, 1989). SchciWs
102
Uchavioural Asmts of TransfonnAtional Lcidgr5hip in ManufActuring Orunisation
(1985) provides the most comprehensive review and integration of this literature.
Schein defines culture as the basic assumptions and beliefs shared by members of a
group or organisation. Most organisational scholars and observers now recognize that
organisational culture has a powerful cffcct on the performance and long-term
cffcctiveness of organisations (Cameron, 1999). Therefore it may be stated that
organisational culture may have an effect on transformational leadership
This research project focuses on these intervening variables such as, situational
strength, attribution, feedback and organisational culture to gather information to
attempt to answer the question of what are the psychological substructure. the internal
world of transformational leaders, namely what "makes them tick", and how they
developed this way. Even if one considers transformational leadership to be a
behavioural theory, the origins of the behaviours arc unclear.

T'his study is particularly important as it could provide us understanding of the
relationship between concepts of situation strcngth, attribution, fccdback, and
organisational culture with respect to transformational Icadcrship. Attribution theory
and the conccpt of situation strength have been researched sporadically and provide an intcrcsting insight into the leadership proccss. The findings of this study will have
potential implications to managers and consultants on the need to rind appropriate
bchaviours for maximization of production and follower's satisfaction, organisational
culture, consistcrit. with the attitude toward organisational cffcctivcncss and
undcrstanding the affcct upon the manufacturing leadership sccnario.
3.9 Gaps to be filled:
Transformational leadership paradigm is the most researched area of leadership over
the last decade (Lowe and Gardner, 2000). By researching the transformational
leadership in manufacturing organisations, an attempt is made to know the
psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders, namcly
what "makes them tick", and how they developed this way.
By gathering data from manufacturing leaders, some insights into the behavioural
aspects of trans formational leadership in manufacturing organisation is to be explored
and hypotheses and a model of transformational leadership in manufacturing
organisations to be put forward.
3.10 Summary
To see inside of the transformational processes, how it increases the performance of followers, and so the overall performance of the organisation, situational variables,
and organisational culture were reviewed with reference to transformational
leadership as it may be applied in manufacturing organisations.
Apart from providing empirical data for testing theories and hypotheses that arc of
interest to organisation theorists, this study will bc beneficial for both transformational
leadership scholars as well as researchers who are looking for in-depth understanding
of trans fonnational leadership in particular and leadership concept in general.

C112ptcr 4 Methodological Approach
Introduction
In the design of any research process three basic methodological choices have to be
made. Firstly, what does the research aim to do? T'his choice will dctcnninc the role
theory plays in the study - is it to be tested or gcncrated? Secondly, which research
philosophy is to be adopted? This epistemology determines the nature of the new
knowledge generated by the research, and dcrincs its applicability. Finally, which
methods will be used in the research and its analyses? These spccirics of the research
%ill determine the validity and reliability of its contribution.
Tbcsc three choices arc inextricably linked and cannot easily be made in isolation.
11crc arc no right answers. There may be several appropriate research paths and at the
same time, many inappropriate ones (Eastcrby-Smith ct al, 1991). Choices must
always be made and justified with reference to the research questions being addressed.
So the methodology should not be determined by the preferences or expertise of the
researcher, rather its design should only be limited by the goal of providing valid,
credible and useful answers to the research questions selected (Robson, 1993).
Ile previous chapter justified the specific research questions this study will attempt to
address, and the research objectives were framed in terms of the expected novelty and
applicability of its contribution. This chapter describes how the research methodology
is designed to answer these questions and meet these objectives, outlining and
justifying the choices made by the researcher. Alternative methodologies arc
cvaluated and the basis of the choices made will be specified.
The benefits and limitations of the chosen research methodology are then discussed.
Tbe consequences of the methodological choices made Nvill be outlined in terms of the
reliability and validity of the research and its findings, and the methodological
consideration of these is described. The chapter also identifies the assumptions made
by constructing the concepts studied, describing the ontological stance of the
rcscarcher, and specifying the theoretical framework used for analysis.

The methodology of social and bchavioural research has undergone several dramatic
changes over the past 30 years. During most of the 20th century, social and bchavioural research was dominated by "quantitative rricthods" with positivism (and
variants thereof such as postpositivism) as its dominant world wide. During the last
decades of the century, qualitative mciliodology cmcrgcd with a world view
associatcd with variants of constructivism. Qualitative research was seen as a reaction
against the dominant (received) quantitative methodology of the time, and it became
immensely popular among those who were dissatisficd with the established
methodological "ordee,. Othcr shifts that were occurring around this time included a
rnovcmcnt toward more socially and culturally sensitive research and a greater
cmphasis on applied, as opposed to basic, research. The qualitative approach to
research promoted a more subjective, culturc-bound, and cmancipatory approach to
studying individual bchaviours and social phenomena, and it introduced innovative
new research methods for answering research questions, Tashakk-ori & Tcddlic
(1998).
Despite their obvious mcrits, each of the two basic approaches to research has been
criticized by proponents from the other orientation. Although much of the controversy
has focused on paradigm or worldview (i. e., the "partidigm, %vars" [Gage, 1989]), each
camp has also criticized the other's methods of study, the rigor of its procedures, and
the validity of its outcomes. The field of mixed methodology, which is known as the
-third methodological movcmen4" has evolved as a pragmatic way of using the
g=gths of both approaches.
An examination of recent social and behavioural research reveals that mixed methods
are being used extensively to solve practical research problems, Tashak-k-ori & Teddlie
(2003). Most investigators using these methods have not been interested in delving
deeply into the philosophical orientations that supposedly underlie the application or
their research studies. This is why the paradigm wars that occurred during the 1970s,
1980s and early 1990s did not affect many of the researchers working with mixed
methods; these authors simply were more interested in the research questions they
were studying than in discussions or complex philosophical issues.
107
Behavioural AsMcts of Transformational Leadershipin Manufacturing Organisations
Authors working in the quantitative and qualitative traditions have seldom rcfcrrcd to
mixcd methods. Similarly, writings on the philosophical undcrpinnings for social and bchavioural research seldom include pragmatism, the paradigm most ofIcn associatcd
with mixed methods (e. g., Howe, 1988). There appears to be a bias that mixed
rncthods designs arc simply combinations of qualitative and quantitative techniques
and that it is dcbatable whether these types of designs arc truly the propcr way in
which to conduct research. As for pragmatism, many dismiss it as a "naive" or even w%-ulgar"oricntation that simplifics highly complex philosophical issues into "what
works. "
&fixed methods designs incorporate techniques from both the quantitative and
qualitative research traditions yet combine them in unique ways to answer research
questions that could not be answered in any othcr way. Mixed methods designs will be
the dominant methodological tools in the social and bchavioural sciences during the
21st century. Currently researchers in the social and bchavioural sciences can be
roughly categorized into three groups: (a) quantitatively oricntcd rescarchcrs (QUANs) working within the postpositivist tradition and primarily interested in
numerical analyses, (b) qualitatively oricnted rcscarchcrs (QUALs) working within
the constructivist tradition and primarily interested in analysis of narrative data, and
(c) mixed mcthodologists working within other paradigms (e. g., pragmatism,
trxisfonnativc-cmancipatory paradigm) and interested in both types of data.
QualitativOy oriented researchers (e. g., Eisner, Geertz, Lincoln & Guba, Stake,
%Volcott) wrote several popular books during the 1970-1985 pcfiod that were critical
of the positivist orientation and proposed a wide variety of qualitative methods. The
Ujost common name given to the paradigm that was associated with the qualitative
rcsearch position during this period was constructivisM. This qualitative research
movcrncnt gained widespread acceptance, as described by Denzin and Lincoln (1994):
Ovcr the past two decades, a quiet methodological revolution has been taking place in
the social sciences. The extent to which the "qualitative revolution" has overtaken the
social sciences and related professional fields has been nothing short of amazing. (p.
ix)
108
BehavioUral Aspects of Trans fonn3tional Leadershipj0d anti factudngOrg3nisajjQjns
Recent theoretical work in the qualitative research movement (e. g., Lincoln & Guba,
2000; Schwandt, 2000) has lcd to the conclusion that multiple paradigms (and not just
constructivism and its variants) are applicable to qualitative research.
Nlixcd mcthodologists nccd more of an introduction because they have been ncithcr
the traditionalists (quantitatively oriented rcscarchcrs) nor the revolutionaries
(qualitatively oricntcd researchers) over the past 30 years. Despite this, researchers
have employed mixed methods throughout the 20th century and into the 21st ccntury,
Tashakk-ori & teddlic (2003). Before the paradigm wars, there was no need for mixed
mcthodologists to bring attention to their distinct oricntation. Before the
incompatibility thesis (i. e., stating that it was inappropriate to mix quantitative and
qualitative methods), researchers who used mixed methods to answer their research
questions were mostly unaware that they were doing anything out of the ordinary.
4.1 A Historical analysis of the emergence of mixed methods
Dcnzin and Lincoln (1994) defined five "moments" in the history of qualitative
research: the traditional (1900-1950), the modernist or Golden Age (1950-1970),
blurred genres (1970-1986), the crisis of rcprcscntation (1986-1990), and postmodcm
or present moments (1990-2003). The "traditional" 1900-1950 pcriod actually saw a
substantial degree of important mixed methods rescarch ongoing with little
Inethodological controversy. Maxwell and Loomis contend that there was less
orthodoxy in methodology during this time pcriod than later in the century. While
there had been some debate since the mid-of 19th century (especially in sociology
during the 1920s and 1930s) about the relative mcrits of quantitative and qualitative
research (e. g., Hammersley. 1992), this debate did not have the rancour that
accompanied the later paradigm wars.
ibe time period labelled "modernist" or "Goldcn Age" (1950-1970) by Dcnzin and
Lincoln was marked in the history of mixed methods research by two major events:
(a) the debunking of positivism and (b) the emergence of research designs that began
to bc called "multimcthod" or "mixcd. " While a distinct ficid of mixed mcthods had
not emerged by this time, numerous important studies using mixed methodologies
occurred, especially in the field of psychology. These studies included the Fcstingcr,
109
Behavioural Aspects of Transformtional Leadcrshi2in 1--tanufacturing Organisation
Ricckcn, and Schachter (1961) research on cnd-of -the-world cults, the Robbces Cave
Experiment by Shcrif, Harvey, %Aiitc, Hood, and Shcrif (1961), and Zimbardo's
(1969) simulated "prison" studies of dcindividuation. for example, SlIcrif, ct al (1961)
made cxtcnsivc use of qualitative participant observation data to explain quantitative
results from the ficId cxpcrimcnt used in the RobbcesCavcExpcdmcnt.
The pcriods described by Dcnzin and Lincoln as "blurred genres" (1970-1986) and
, "crisis of representation" (1986-1990) coincide with (Tashak-k-ori &C Teddlic, 1998)
have been called "the asccndance of constructivism, followed by the paradigm wars. "
Several significant events for mixed methodology occurred during the 1970-1990
period such as (a) qualitative methods and constructivism grew quite rapidly in
popularity, (b) the paradigm wars were launched based largely on the incompatibility
thesis, (c) mixed methods studies were introduced in conjunction with writings on
triangulation, and (d) important mixed methods studies and syntheses appeared
The period described by Dcnzin and Lincoln (1994) as "postmodcm or present
r, nomcnts" (1990-2003) coincides with what we have called the emergence of "pragmatism and the compatibility thesis. " Two significant events for mixed
Mcthodology that occurred during this period were that (a) the pragmatist position
was posited as a countcrargument to the incompatibility thesis and (b) several scminal
Works appeared aimed at establishing mixed methods as a separate field.
On a philosophical level, mixed methodologists had to counter the incompatibility
thesis, which was predicated on the link- between epistemology and method. To
counter this paradigm-method link, Howe (1988) posited the use of a different
paradigm: pragmatism. A major tenct of Howe's concept of pragmatism was that
quantitative and qualitative methods are compatible. Thus, because the paradigm says
that these methods arc compatible, investigators could make use of both of them in
their research. This position has been questioned by several scholars writing within the mixed methods literature.
A short list of influential mixed methods works that appearcd during this time period includes Creswell (1994), Greene and Caracclli (1997), Morgan (1998), Morse (1991),
110
Newman and Benz (1998), Patton (1990), Reichardt and Rallis (1994), and Tashak-kori and Tcddlic (1998), Creswell (1999), Creswell ct al (2003), hicrtcns (2003). 71csc works
include several typologics of mixed methods designs, cnumcration of key words with both
consistent and inconsistent dcfinitions, different paradigm formulations, and so on.
4.2 The Utility of Mixed Methods Research
Ile utility of mixed methods research concerns "why" we do them. With tile plethora
or rcscarch methods associated with either the QUAL or the QUAN tradition, why
.. vould we go to bothcr of combining them, or of generating new techniques, to do
mixed methods research?
'rhc ultimate goal of any research project is to answer the questions that were set forth
at the project's beginning. Mixed methods arc useful if they provide better
opportunities for answering our research questions. In addition, mixed methods arc
useful if they help researchers to meet the criteria for evaluating the "goodness" of
their answers (e. g., Tashakkori & Teddlie, 1998) better than do single approach
designs.
Ibcre appear to be three areas in which mixed methods are superior to single approach
dcsigns:
Mixed methods research can answer research questions that the other
methodologies cannot.
Mixed methods research provides better (stronger) inferences.
* Mixed methods provide opportunity for presenting a greater diversity of divcrgcnt views.
4.2.1 Mixed methods research can answer research questions that the other
methodologies cannot
one dimension on which quantitative and qualitative rcsearch is said to vmy is the
t)-pc of question answered by each approach. Some authors have suggestcd, that
QUAL research questions arc exploratory, while QUAN research questions arc
confirmatory. Erzbcrger and Prein (1997) and Tashak-kori and Tcddlic (1998) have
III
disagreed with this dichotomization of research questions. Erzbcrgcr and Prcin (1997)
lat>clcd it "a Cinderella position view of qualitative research" in that it "restricts the
use of qualitative methods to preliminary phases of social research where quantitative
techniques could not (yet) be employed".
Punch (1998) provided another argumcnt against this dichotomization:
Quantitative research has typically bccn more directed at thcory vcrification, while
qualitative research has typically been more conccmcd with theory gcncration. While
that correlation is historically valid, it is by no means pcrfect, and tlicrc is no
neccssary connection bct%vccn purpose and approach. That is, quantitative rcscarch
can be used for theory gcncration (as well as verification), and qualitative research can
be used for theory verification (as well as generation). Most QUAN rcsc=h is
confirmatory and involves theory verification, while much QUAL research is
cxploratory and involves theory generation. What happens when wc want to do both?
A major advantage of mixed methods research is that it enables the researchcr to
simultaneously answer confirmatory and exploratory questions, and therefore vcrify
and generate theory in the same study.
4.2.2 Allied methods research provides better (stronger) Inferences
Several authors (e. g.. Brewer & Hunter, 1989; Greene &: Caraccl1i, 1997) have
postulated that using mixed methods can offset the disadvantages that certain of the
rnethods have by themselves, Johnson and Turner rcfcr to this as the fundamental
principle of mixed methods research: " Methods should be mixed in a way that has
complementary strengths and non-overlapping weaknesses. ". Further support for the
usefulness of mixed methods Caine from Greene et al (1989), who proposed five functions for such methods: triangulation, complcmcntarity, development, initiation,
and expansion. The first two functions of mixed methods (triangulation and complementarity are related to the fact that mixed methods lead to multiple inferences
Ih. at confirm or complement each Other. The other three functions (dcvc1opmcnt, initiation, and expansion) are more related to mixed methods studies in which inferences made at the end of one phase (e. g., QUAL) lead to the questions and/or design of a second phase (e. g., QUAN).
112
Dchnioural AsMcts of Transformational LodershipinManufactuflng Organisations
4.23 Mixed methods provide the opportunity for presenting a greater diversity of divergent views
According to this view, divergent findings are valuable in that they lead to a rc-
cxamination of the conceptual frameworks and the assumptions undcrlying each of the
two (QUAL and QUAN) components. Johnson and Turner state that one of the major
reasons for following the fundamental principle of mixed methods research is to
aclucidatc the divergent aspects of a phenomenon. " Further analyses of the data in the
form of possible transformation of data types to each other, internal validity audits
(Tashak-kori & Tcddlic, 1998), and design of a new study or phase for further
investigations (Rossman & Wilson, 1985) are three outcomes of such rc-cxamination.
43 Methodological assumptions
in methodological terms, the postpositivist paradigm characterized as using primarily
quantitative methods that arc interventionist and decontcxtualiscd (Mertens, 1998).
The intcrprctivc-constructivist paradigm is characterized as using primarily qualitative
fnethods in a hermeneutical and dialectical manner. The transformativc paradigm
inight involve quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods but the community affected
by the research would be involved to some degree in the methodological and
programmatic decisions. Mixed methods designs that use both quantitative and
qualitative methods can be used in any paradigm; however, the underlying
assumptions determine which paradigm is operational ised.
These philosophical assumptions provide the foundation for guiding mcthodology for
Uxisformative research. The research is conducted with involvement of all relevant
communities especially the least advantaged. The research conclusions are data based,
but the data are generated from an inclusive list of pcrsons affected by the research,
with special cfforts to include those who have been traditionally undcrrcprcscnted. It
does not exclude those who have been traditionally included in the research process,
that is, the decision makers, program administrators and staff, and funding agency
rcprcscntativcs. It does explicitly recognize that certain voices have been absent,
r, aisrcprmcntcd, or marginalized and the inclusion of these voices is necessary for a
jigorous research study. Conclusions arc based on the collection, analysis, and
113
Pchavioural Aspects of Trans forrmt ional Leadership in Manufactuflng Organisationj
interpretation of inclusive data and arc not forgone conclusions. Qualitative,
quantitative, or mixed methods can be used.
4.4 Strengths and weaknesses of mixed designs
The major strength of mixed methods designs is that they allow for rcsearch to
develop as comprehensively and completely as possible. NVhcn compared with a
single method, the domain or inquiry is less likely to be constraint by the method
itself Because the supplementary data arc often not completely saturated or as in-
depth as they would be if they were a study in their o%%m right, ccrtainty is attained by
verifying supplemental data with data strategies used within the core study
(Tashakk-ori, & Teddlic, 2003).
On the other hand, the strengths of comprehensiveness from using mixed mcthods
may also be perceived as weaknesses. Research may be challenged on the grounds of
being less rigorous than if a multimcthod design were used. For instance, the
supplemental data may be considered thin and therefore suspect.
To summarize, the major difference between a singIc study using multiple strategies
(nlixed methods design) and a rcscarch program using multiple methods is that in the
, Single study the less dominant strategies do not have to be a complete study in
thmscives. I'llat is, the strategy may be used to develop indicators or to "test the
Waters" to follow a lead or hunch, if something of interest or importance is found, then
this new finding may be used to complement or confimi something new or something
that is already known or suspected. Within the research design, the new finding is
created as an indicator. As such, the new finding does not have- to be completely
verified itself, it does not have to be saturated or confirined. Rather, the finding may
be verified or confirmed elsewhere in another data set.
4.5 Strategies and visual models for mixed method research
Following are the six major strategies identified below arc choices for inquirers in a
research proposal, adapted from the discussion by Creswell ct al (2003).
114
Behayioural Aspects of Tr3ns formational Leadership in Manufactudng Orsnrýsations
4.5.1 Sequential Explanatory Strategy
Tbc sequential explanatory strategy is the most straightforward of the six major mixed
methods approaches. It is characterized by the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by the collection and analysis of qualitative data. I'lic priority typically
is given to the quantitative data, and the two methods are integrated during the
interpretation phase of the study. This strategy may or may not have a specific
theoretical perspective. The purpose of the sequential explanatory design typically is
to use qualitative results to assist in explaining and interpreting the findings of a
primarily quantitative study. It can be especially useful when unexpected results arise
from a quantitative study (Morse, 1991). In this case, the qualitative data collection
that follows can be used to examine these surprising results in more dctail. The
straightforward nature of this design is one of its main strengths. It is casy to
implement because the steps fall into clear, separate stagcs. In addition, this design
feature makes it easy to describe and to report. The main weakness of this design is
the length of time involved in data collection, with the two separate phases. This is
cspccially a drawback if the two phases are given equal priority.
4.5.2 Sequential Exploratory Strategy
The sequential exploratory strategy has many features similar to the sequential
explanatory strategy. It is conducted in two phases, with the priority generally given to
the first phase, and it may or may not be implemented within a prescribed theoretical
perspective. In contrast to the sequential explanatory approach, Us model is
characterized by an initial phase of qualitative data collection and analysis, which is
followed by a phase of quantitative data collection and analysis. T'hercforc, the
priority is given to the qualitative aspect of the study. The findings of these two phases
are then integrated during the interpretation phase.
At the most basic level, the purpose of this strategy is to use quantitative data and
results to assist in the interpretation of qualitative findings. Unlike tile sequential
explanatory approach, which is better suited to explaining and interprcting
relationships, the primary focus of this model is to explore a phenomenon. hlorgan
(1998) suggested that this design is appropriate to use when testing elements of an
115
Behaviour-M Aspects of Trans formation3l Lcodershinin-ý13nufacttiriral)rcanisations
cmcrgcnt thcory resulting from tile qualitative phase and that it can also be used to
generalize qualitative findings to different samples. Similarly, Morsc (1991) cited one
purpose for selecting this approach: to determine the distribution of a phenomenon
within a chosen population. Finally, the sequential cxplomtory strategy is often discussed as the model used when a researcher develops and tests an instrument
(Crcswcll, 1999).
The sequential exploratory strategy has many of the same advantages as the sequential explanatory model. Its two-phase approach makes it easy to implement and
straightforward to describe and report. It is useful to a researcher who wants to
explore a phenomenon but also wants to expand on the qualitative findings. This
model is especially advantageous when a researcher is building a new instrument. In
addition, this model could make a largely qualitative study more palatable to a
quantitative adviser, committee, or research community that may be unfamiliar with the naturalistic tradition. As with the sequential explanatory approach, the sequential
exploratory model requires a substantial length of time to complete both data
collection phases, which can be a drawback for some research situations. In addition, the researcher may find it difficult to build from the qualitative analysis to the
subsequent quantitative data collection.
4.53. Sequential Transformative Strategy
The transformative sequential strategy has two distinct data collection phases, one following the other. However, in this design either method may be used first, and the
priority can be given to either the quantitative or the qualitative phase, or even to both
if sufficient resources arc available. In addition, the results of the two phases arc integrated during the interpretation phase. Unlike the sequential exploratory and
explanatory approaches, the sequential transformativc model has a theoretical
perspective to guide the study. The aim of this theoretical perspective whether it be a
conceptual framework, a specific ideology, or advocacy, is more important in guiding the study than the use of methods alone.
116
Dchavioural Aspects of Transformitional LeadcrshiD in INIgnufacturing Organisations
The purpose of a sequential transformativc strategy is to cmploy the methods that will best scrvc: the thcorctical pcrspcctivc of the rcscarclicr. By using two phascs, a
sequential transformativc researcher may be able to give voice to diverse pcrspcctivcs,
to bcttcr advocate for participants, or to better understand a phenomenon or process
that is changing as a result of being studied.
The sequential transformativc model shares the methodological strengths and
weaknesses of the other two sequential mixed methods approaches. Its use of distinct
phases facilitates its implementation, description, and sharing of results, although it
also requires the time to complete two data collection phases. More important, this
design places mixed methods research within a transfonnative framework. Therefore,
this strategy may be more appealing and acceptable to those researchers already using
a transformativc framework within one distinct methodology, such as qualitative
research. Unfortunately, because little has been written to date on this approach, one
weakness is that there is little guidance on how to use the transformativc vision to
guide the methods. Likewise, it may be =clear how to move between the analyses of
the first phase into the data collection of the second phase.
4.5.4. Concurrent Triangulation Strategy
The concurrent triangulation approach is probably the most familiar of the six major
mixed methods models. It is selected as the model when a researcher uses two
different methods in an attempt to confirm, cross-validate, or corroborate findings
within a single study (Greene et al., 1989; Morgan, 1998; Stecklen McLcroy,
Goodman, Bird, & McCormick, 1992). This model generally uses separate
quantitative and qualitative methods as a means to offset the weaknesses inherent
within one method with the strengths of the other method. In this case, the quantitative
and qualitative data collection is concurrent, happening in one phase of the research
study. Ideally, the priority would be equal bet%vccn the two methods, but in practical
application the priority may be given to either the quantitative or the qualitative
approach. This strategy usually integrates the results of the two methods during the
interpretation phase. This interpretation can either note the convergence of the
117
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadershi2 in Manufactur $ ng. Organisations
findings as a way to strcngthcn the knowledge claims of the study or explain any lack
of convcrgcncc that may rcsult.
This traditional mixed methods model is advantageous because it is familiar to most
researchers and can result in wcll-validatcd and substantiated findings. In addition, the
concurrent data collection results in a shorter data collection time period as compared to one of the sequential approaches.
11is model also has a number of limitations. It requires great cffort and expertise to
adequately study a phenomenon with two separate methods. It also can be difficult to
compare the results of two analyses; using data of different forms. In addition, a
researcher may be unclear about how to resolve discrepancies that arises in the results.
4.5.5 Concurrent Nested Strategy
Like the concurrent triangulation approach, the concurrent nested model can be
identified by its use of one data collection phase, during which both quantitative and
qualitative data are collected simultaneously. Unlike the traditional triangulation
model, a nested approach has a predominant method that guides the project. Given
less priority, the method (quantitative or qualitative) is embedded, or nested, within
the predominant method (qualitative or quantitative). This nesting may mean that the
embedded method addresses a different question than the dominant method or seeks information from different levels. The data collected from the two methods are mixed during the analysis phase of the project. This strategy may or may not have a guiding theoretical perspective.
Tle concurrent nested model may be used to serve a variety of purposes. Often, this
model is used so that a researcher can gain broader perspectives as a result of using the different methods as opposed to using the predominant method alone. For example Morse (1991 (noted that a primarily qualitative design could embed some quantitative data to enrich the description of the sample participants. Likewise, she described how
qualitative data could be used to describe an aspect of a quantitative study that cannot be quantified. In addition, a concurrent nested model may be employed when a
118
13chavioural Asrects of Trans fomint ionaLLeadershipin Mmufacturing Organisatiom
researcher chooses to utilize different methods to study different groups or levels. For
cxample, if an organisation is being studied, then employees could be studied
quantitatively, managers could be interviewed qualitatively, entire divisions could be
analysed with quantitative data and so forth. Tashakkori and Tcddlic (1998) described
this approach as a multilevel design. Finally, one method could be used within a framework of the other method, such as if a researcher designed and conducted an
experiment but used case study methodology to study each of the treatment
conditions.
Ibis mixed methods model has many strengths. A researcher is able to collect the two
types of data simultaneously, during a single data collection phase. It provides a study
with the advantages of both quantitative and qualitative data. In addition, by using the
two different mcthods in this fashion, a researcher can gain perspectives from the
differcnt types of data or from different levcIs within the study.
71cre are also limitations to consider when choosing this approach. The data need to
be transformed in some way so that they can be integrated within the analysis phase of the research. Because the two methods arc unequal in their priority, this approach also
results in unequal evidence within a study, which may be a disadvantage when interpreting the final results.
4.5.6. Concurrent Transformative Strategy
As with the sequential transformativc model, the concurrent transforinativc approach is guided by the rcsearchees use of a specific theoretical perspective. This perspective
can be based or ideologies such as critical theory, advocacy, participatory research, or a conceptual or theoretical frarnework. This perspective is rcflected & purpose or
research questions of the study. It is the driving force that all methodological choices,
such as defining the problem, identifying design and data sources, analysing, intcrprcting, and reporting result throughout the research process. The choice of a
concurrent mode (whether it is triangulation or nestcd design) is made to facilitate this
perspective. For example, the design may be nestcd so that diverse participants arc
given a voice in the change proccss of an organisation that is studied primarily
119
13chavioural Aspccts of Trans founat ionat Leadcrship in Manufactuflng Organisatiom
quantitativcly. It may involvc a triangulation of quantitativc and qualitativc data to
best converge infonnation to provide evidence for an inequality of policies in an
organisation.
Thus, the concuffcnt transformativc model may take on the design features of either a
triangulation or a ncsted approach. That is, the two types of data arc collcctcd at the
same time during one data collection phase and may have equal or unequal priority. The integration of these different data would most oflcn occur during the analysis
phase, although integration during the interpretation phase is a possible variation. Because the concuffcnt transformativc model shares features with the triangulation
and nested approaches, it also shares their specific strengths and weaknesses. However, this model has the added advantage of positioning mixed methods research
within a transformative framework, which may make it especially appealing to those
qualitative or quantitative researchers already using a transformativc framework- to
guide their inquiry.
4.6 Design Issues in Mixed Methods Research:
Determining a typology of mixed methods designs (i. e., identifying the basic
procedures for using both QUAL and QUAN strands in a single study is among the
most complex and controversial issues in mixed methodology. There are nunlcrous
types of mixed methods designs in the literature. For cxamplc, triangulation
transformative, integrated, component, sequential, parallel, concurrcn% simultaneous, b=ching, nested, explanatory, exploratory, confirmatory, developmental,
decomposed, embedded, mixed method, mixed model, hierarchical, monomethod,
multimcthod, multimethods (plural), equivalent-status, dominant-less dominant,
multilevel, two-phase, methodological triangulated design, sequential triangulation,
simultaneous triangulation, and Design Types 11 through VIII of Tashak-k-ori and Teddlie.
Although this list is not exhaustive, it clearly demonstrates tile need for creating a
consistent system or typology that would incorporate many of the diverse designs
120
Behavioural Asrscts of-Transformtionat Leadcrshipintýlanufactitt'ngOrgonisations
described in the literature. Someone needs to create an integrated typology of mixed
mctliods research design.
4.7 A conceptual model for mixed methods research
hlixcd methods designs arc charactcrizcd by one of the following two conditions: 1. They have multiple positions along each attribute (e. g., they have both
confirmatory and exploratory questions).
2. They are near one end of the continuum on one attribute (e. g., inductive question)
and near the other end on another attribute (e. g., statistical analysis). The switching
cnds of the continuum across attributes may be present within spheres or bct, %vccn them.
Following arc the two major designs named multimcthods and mixed methods as below.
Multiple Method Designs (more than one method or more than one worldvicw) & Multimcthod designs (more than one method but restricted to within worldvicw (e. g., QUAN/QUAN, QUA IJQUA L)

Monostrand mixed methods designs (also known as single phase designs) have not bccn well articulated in mixed methods research. Iliese designs use a single research
method or data collection technique (QUAL or QUAN) and corresponding data
analysis procedures to answer research questions. By contrast, multistrand designs use
more than one research method or data collection procedure- nearly all typologics of
mixed methods in the literature are multistrand in nature. Below is a detailed typology
of both groups of designs (monostrand and multi-strand). There are two basic types of mono-strand designs:
4.7.1 Afonostrand (Afonomethod) QUAL or QUAN Design. This is the traditional
qualitative or quantitative design, depicted in figure 4.1 in which the investigator has either exploratory or confirmatory questions, uses a qualitative
or quantitative research method to answer them, and accordingly makes inferences that are either QUAL, (e. g.. subjective, constructivist) or QUAN
(e. g., objective, value-neutral) in nature.

QUAL and QUAN strands), (b) stage of integration (i. e., across all stages vs., within
method only), and (c) procedures for linldng the strands (e. g., sequential vs.

4.8.1 Concurrent Mixed Designs
in the concurrent mixed design, there are multiple questions (QUAL and QUAN), and
each is answered by collecting and analysing corresponding data (QUAL or QUAN).
The inferences are pulled together to reach a mcta-infcrcncc. Concurrent mixed designs are often identified as parallel designs because two prc-planned and relatively independent procedures are employed to answer the research questions either
simultaneously or with a time lag (i. e. the data for the two strands might be collected in different time pcriods). In either case, the inferences from one phase do not determine the questions and/or procedures of the other phase. There are two types of
this design:
a. Concurrent Afired Method Design. In this type of study, one kind of question is
simultaneously addressed by collecting and analysing both QUAN and QUAL
data, and then one type of inference is made on the basis of both data sources. This
design incorporates Creswell's (2002) triangulation mixed method design.

4.8.2 Sequential Mixed Designs
The distinguishing attribute of the sequential mixed design is that the second phase
(strarid) of the study (e. g., the qualitative phase) cmcrges as a result of or in rcsponsc
to, the findings of the first phase. There are two varictics of these designs bascd on the
stagc of intcgration.
4.8.2.1 Sequential Mixed Method Design.
This design involves one type of question (exploratory or conrimiatory, QUAL or
QUAN), two types of data (QUAL and QUAN) that are collected in sequence (with
one being dependent on the other, e. g., sclecting extreme cases) and analyscd
accordingly, and one type of inference at the end. The second strand of the study
cmcrges as a response to or during the data analysis of the first strand. In other
words, this design is mixed in its data collection and analysis phase only. This
design incorpomtes Mc-Millan and Schurnachces (2001) sequential fonns.
126

Behavioural Aspects ofTransfommtional LeadcrshininManufactudng OrganisatiOns
4.8.2.2 Sequential Alixed Model Design.
In this type of study, questions for the second strand of the study cmergc from the infcrcnccs of the first strand. In othcr words, the research questions of the sccond
strand (e. g., QUAN) are based on the inferences that were made in the first strand (e. g., QUAL).
Ile first strand of the study is often an exploratory study, while the second strand is
ofIcn a confirmatory study. The first strand of the study includes data collection, data
analysis, and inference in one approach (e. g., QUAN). I'lic second strand of the study
involves new data, their analysis, and inferences in the other approach (e. g., QUAL).
Ttc final mcta-infcrences arc made on the basis of the confin-natory or
disconfirmatory nature of the inferences in the two strands of the study. This design
incorporates Creswell's (2002) explanatory mixed method design and exploratory
mixed method design. It also incorporates Creswell and colleagues sequential
exploratory, sequential explanatory, and sequential transfonnativc designs.

4.8.3 Nfultistrand Conversion Mixed Designs
In multistrand conversion mixed designs, there is only one mcthod of study and one
t)pc of data (QUAL or QUAN). Nevertheless multistrand conversion mixcd designs
emulate two strands by converting the data from QUAL to QUAN or from QUAN to
QUAL and rc-analysing them accordingly. Infcrcnces are made on the basis of both
sets of analyses. There are two cases of such designs:
4.8.3.1 Alultistrand Convasion Alixed Method Dcsign.
One type of question (exploratory or confirmatory, QUAL or QUAN) is asked, one
type of data is collected and also transformed (qualitised/quantitised) and analysed
again accordingly, and one type of inference is made on the basis of all results. 71iis
design represents a predominantly QUAL, or QUAN study in which the data arc
transformed and rcanalysed in another approach to aid in final inferences.

of results and arc pulled togcthcr at the cnd to gcncrate mcta-infcrcnccs. 71iis design is

mixed model designs, and they incorporate two or more of the previous types. In this
t)pc of study multiple approach questions are asked and ans, %vcrcd through the

iv. To develop a model of the relationship between trans formational

4.10 The Selection of the Research Methodology
Having identified the most appropriate epistemology for the achievement of the
research objectives the research methodology must be designed to answer the specific
research questions. The following sections outline how the research methodology has
been designed to answer the following research questions as idcntified and justified, in
Chapter 3:
R- Q. No. I Do transformational leadcrs creatc a wcak- situation for thcir followcrs in manufacturing organisations?
Q. No. 2 Do transformational leaders make internal attributions for the cause of poor performance in manufacturing organisations?
R. Q. No. 3 Do transformational leadcrs scck morc kedback from flicir followcrs than non-transformational leadcrs in manufacturing organisations?
Rý Q. No. 4. Is clan culture the most common cultural environment created or existing in paralld with transformational leadership?
From the literature of mixed methods mcthodology, appropriate methodology for this
research was found to be Concurrent Nested strategy.
131
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadershin in hianufacturing. Organisations
To distinguish leaders from having trans form ational lcadcrship characteristics, a
quantitative questionnaire was employed and analyscd quantitatively. Latcr, they were intcrvicwcd qualitatively and data was transformed into codes to enable the researcher
to analyse the data quantitatively and to clarify the inference of the research questions.
Data collcctcd was analysed using mixed methods integration Concurrent Nested
Strategy by Creswell (2003). According to Creswell, integration of the two types of data might occur at several stages in the process of research, the data collection, the data analysis, interpretation, or some combination of places. Integration means that the
rcsearchcr "mixes" the data. Mixing at the stage of data analysis, and interpretation
might involve transforming qualitative themes or codes into quantitative numbers and
comparing the information with quantitative results.
The concurrent nested model may be used to serve a variety of purposes. Often, this
model is used so that a researcher can gain broader perspectives as a result of using
the different methods as opposed to using the predominant method alone. For example
Nforse (1991) noted that a primarily qualitative design could embed some quantitative
data to enrich the description of the sample participants. Likewise, she described how
qualitative data could be used to describe an aspect of a quantitative study that cannot
be quantified. In addition, a concurrent nested model may be employed when a
researcher chooses to utilize different methods to study different groups or levels. For
example, if an organisation is being studied, then employees could be studied
quantitatively, managers could be interviewed qualitatively, entire divisions could be
analyscd, with quantitative data, and so forth. Tashakkori and Teddlie (1998) described
this approach as a multilevel design. Finally, one method could be used within a framework of the other method, such as if a researcher designed and conducted an
experiment but used case study methodology to study each of the treatment
conditions.
Trans formational leadership charactcristics were measured by the using quantitative
method described as the 23-itern measure of transformational leadership inventory
questionnaire (transformational leadership inventory) as developed by Podsakoff ct al
(1990). Farh & Cheng (1999) stated 'We use Podsakoff, ct al (1990) conceptualisation
of the trans formational leadership inventory because it is bchaviourally oriented, well
132
1-3chavioural Aspects of Trans fornmt ional Leadership-in Mmufacturing Organisations
validatcd, and has been used in both North American and Chinese cultures. According to Bass & Riggio (2006) 'the most widely used instrument to measure
transformational leadership characteristics is the transformational Icadcrship inventory
instrument devclopcd Podsakofr ct al (1990)'. This instrument has been uscd rcccntly by several researchers to measure transformational leadership characteristics, for
example, Pillai and Wilams, 1998, and Pillai, William, Lowe, and Jung, 2003, Parry,
2002, Sprcitzcr ct al (2005).
The measure includes six transformational leadcrship bchaviours: articulating a
vision; providing an appropriate model; fostering the acccptancc of group goals; high
performance expectations; individualized support and intellectual stimulation. A
sevcn-point Likert scale ranging from (1) strongly disagree to (7) strongly agrce was
utilized to assess trans formational leadership charactcristics as it was used in tile
original questionnaire of Podsakoff (1990) and others. According to Mc Ivcr and
Cannines (198 1), no scale model has more intuitive appeal than the Likcrt scale. Any
scale obtained by adding together the responses scores of its constituent items is
referred to as a Likcrt scale. Aficr choosing items to comprise the final scale, one
might assume the rest of the process would be straightforward. Simply add up an
individual's response to each of the item. The total is assigned to the respondent as a
scale score. Interpretation of scale may be made relative to the mean as suggested by
Edwards:
if we use the mean of the group as our mid point of origin, thcri each of the individual
attitudes can be expressed as a deviation from this origin. We assume that the mean
rcprcscnts the typical or average attitude of the group. Then scores that are higher than
the mean can be interprcted as scores that are more favourable than the average for the
group and scores that are lower than the mean can be intcrprcted as score that are less
favourable than the average.
71c reliability (Cronbach! s alpha) to determine the internal consistency of the scale has been deemed appropriate for further analysis.
Data was analysed using the quantitative method known as the Statistical Package for
Social Sciences (SPSS) vcrsion 11.0 for Windows software.
133
13chavioural Aspccts of-TmnsformationatLeadership in Manufactudne Organisations
Leaders were classiried as transformational if the nican of the score was more than 4.0. Leaders with means between 3.0 and 4.0 were classificd as neutral and leaders
with means less than 3.0 were classified as non-transfonnational leaders (4 is the
mean of the scale used). By adding up all the responses of the items and dividing by 23 (23 items) to obtain an individual follower score for his/her leader. Then all the followers' scores for a particular leader were added up and divided by the number of followers who reported about their leader to get the overall score of that particular leader.
Ten leaders were selected having the average of the highest scores on trans formational
leadership characteristics as being transformational leaders, and, 10 leaders were
selected having the lowest score on transformational leadership characteristics as non-
transformational leaders and 13 leaders with a mean score of more than 4.0 as normal
transformational leaders, and they were interviewed in phasc-I of data collection. Interviews were categorised and coded and analysed following the steps of interview
analysis procedure described by Fink (2003).
Organisational culture was measured by quantitative method using Camcron and Quinn's (1999) Organisational Cultural Assessment Instrument (OCAI) typology. The
instrument on organisational culture was comprised of 6 items, while each item had 4
alternatives assigned to each of the dimensions of organisational culture. All 50
leaders in phasc-I and 26 leaders in phasc-II were asked to rate their organisation. as
per OCAI instructions. After receiving the completed OCAI from the leaders, all A, B,
C and D (alternatives) responses of each item were added up respectively in a new
column and divided by 6 (the number of questions), and plotted as per OCAI
instruction to see the overall culture of the organisation.

Bencfits and limitations of the mcthodological approach arc dcscribed as follows:

4.11.1 What Is the research designed to achieve
Whilst Positivist rcscarch is typically uscd to establish objective facts and establish
causal relationships, this phcnomcnological cnquiry seeks to arrive at a grounded
understanding of a subjective phenomenon - cfFacts of trans formational leadership on
situational determinants and organisational culture. Ilia research aims to provide
insights that can be tested in further research and offer a basis for comparison with
existing theory. The research focuses on the perspective of the situation strength on
transformational leadership. Correspondingly this research does not aim to establish a
complete theory of situation strcngth and intervening variables for trans formational
leadership in organisations but rather seeks to deliver descriptive conccpts of this
plicnomenon in manufacturing contexts. The emphasis is on uncovering the
transformational Icadcrship in manufacturing organisations and the cffccts of
situational strength and organisational culture on transformational leadership. I'lic
research strives to uncover new insights and generate hypotheses and a model for
transformational leadership Nvith respect to situational strcngth and organisational.
culture.
4.11.2 Questions of reliability and validity
The two qualities most central to successful assessment of the "goodness" of a
measurement are its reliability and its validity. Briefly, validity rcfcrs to the question
of whether or not one's measurement of a phenomenon is true; that is, does it measure
what it purports to measure? Reliability. on the other hand, refers to the degree to
which a measurement can be replicated; that is, do rcpeated measurements of the same
phenomenon produce consistent results from one time to the next?
Case Study research, and other phenomenological approaches, arc oflcn criticized by
positivists on grounds of the non-rcpeatability of methods, the subjectivity of findings,
and the inability to generalise from resulting theory. Although many new paradigm
researchers argue that phenomenological social enquiry should not be judged by the
restrictive criteria of the scientific method adhered to in the physical sciences, (e. g.
Silverman, 1993, Reason and Rowan, 1981, Yin, 1994) the majority arc aware that
135
ccrtain standards must be mct. The emphasis, particularly in qualitative
methodologies; is on the achievcmcnt of crcdibility and reliability whilst adopting a
realist approach to validity (Silverman, 1993 and Hammcrsley, 1992). In fact,
qualitative research methods have been labelled as more valid than quantitative
methods since they allow the researcher to stay groundcd in the real world and
cncourage a closer fit between resulting theory and the collcction of unriltcrcd data
(Taylor and Bogdan, 1983). Yin identifies three forms of validity relevant to
cxploratory and descriptive research - Construct validity, External validity and Reliability - and the tactics available for their achievement (Yin, 1994). Construct
validity concerns the degree of conridcncc we have that the phenomenon of interest
has been appropriately measured or studied. Construct validity can be enhanced by
using multiple sources of evidence, the establishment of a chain of evidence, and the
use of multiple informants for the review of data collected. Extcmal validity concerns
the dcgrcc of confidence we have that findings can be gcncraliscd beyond the
immediate case. Exterrial validity can be enhanced by using replication in the
deployment of methods, adopting an analytical rather than statistical basis of
gencrulisation (Yin, 1994), and the search for disconfirmatory evidence to bound the
resultant knowledge (Glaser and Strauss, 1967 and Strauss and Corbin, 1998).
Reliability conccms our confidence that the research and its findings are repeatable. The reliability of Case Study research can be enhanced by crisuring the transparency
of methods and analysis so that they can be opcrationaliscd and repeated, (Yin, 1994),
rcplication of data collection from the same case, and the use of multiple rcscarchers in the study. The following section outlines the strategies adopted by the author to
cnhance the validity and reliability of his research and its findings.
4.11.3 Methodological consideration of validity
Research described in this thesis has adopted the following strategies to increase its
validity. Firstly, and most fundamentally, the methods used in this research were
designed to study transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations, and not
to study the phenomenon leadership in general. Data was collected from
manufacturing organisations, rather than by general companics/organisations. Furthermore. the methods were designed to uncover the trans formational leaders in
136
13chivioliml Aspccts of Transfo=tional Le3dership_in ManufacturinzOrganisations
manufacturing organisations rather than the transactional or othcr typcs of leadcrship.
As such, the data collected was not restrained by transformational leadcrs but to distinguish transformational leaders from non-transformational and cffccts of both
leaders. The research has also uscd mullipic organisations to collect data to cstablish the research question more elaborative and generalized. .
Unlike the traditional triangulation model, a ncstcd approach of distinguishing the
transformational leaders from the general population was cmploycd as a predominant
method that guidcs the project from the start. This nesting means that cmbeddcd
method address a diffcrcnt question than the dominant method. Concurrent nesting
strategy was acMevcd by asking quantitative questionnaire from followers about their
leaders, and their leaders were interviewed qualitatively. Interviews were coded in
numbers and analysed quantitatively to get the inference of the study.
4.12 Summary
This chapter has described the methodological approach that the researcher has
adopted to address the research questions framed in Chapter 2. The chapter explains bow philosophies translate into the methodological approach tak-cn. An overview of
the mixed method approach has been provided with its strengths and weak-ncsscs. Major strategies and designs of mixed methods have been described. The selection of
research methodology for this research has been explained and justified by
comparison with alternative methodologies. Limitations of the methodological
approach and questions of reliability and validity have been discussed.

5.1 The purpose of the Experimentation Phase
'Ibc aim of this research was to explore transformational lcadcrship in Pakistani
manufacturing organisation with its main objective to cxplore the bchavioural aspect
the psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational Icadcrs, namcly
what "makes thcm ticV, and how they developed this way. Even if one considers
transformational leadership to be a bchavioural theory, the origins of the bchaviours
arc unclear.
To evaluate transformational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisations, and
to ]carn about the behavioural aspects of transformational leadership in manufacturing
organisations, an experiment was designed to study five manufacturing organisations in Pakistan ranging from large to small size organisations. To know the answers of
each research question and complement the literature it was proposed to carry out
experiments by obtaining data from existing managcrs/Icadcrs and their followers from
manufacturing organisations in Pakistan. In this chapter the design of these
experiments togcthcr, %vith the measuring tools used have been described.
As discussed in the literature survey in section 3.2 to 3.8, there arc comments and
papers that provide some insight into answering the research questions although the
precise questions in that research are not answered. It is important to obtain an answer
to each question, as this will influence the training and selection of personnel with leadership qualities in general and manufacturing industry in particular. To answer
each question and complement the literature it was proposed to carry out experiments by obtaining data from existing managcrs/leadcrs from the manufacturing industry. In
this chapter the design of these experiments together with the measuring tools used are described.
5.2 The Instruments Used During Experimentation
The following instruments were used during the data collection phase:

SA Summary of What the Lfterature Says About the Research Questions
For Research Question 1: Do transformational leaders create a weak situation for thcir followcrs in manufacturing
organisations?
Although there is as yet no literature available for the measurement of situation
strcngth and transformational leadership specifically in manufacturing organisations,
there is literature on the meaning of situation strength and literature and measurement
techniques for transformational leadership in general. Transformational leaders use the
leadership style that best suits the situation they face. They build on the strength of
others, strengths that arc sometimes dormant. Trans formational leaders arc visionaries
who enable people to transcend their own self-interest for the sake of others. They arc
leaders who change reality by building on the human need for meaning.
Trarisfonnational leaders do not necessarily apply the effective method that worked
yesterday to today's problems. They do not approach every situation in the same way. NVhcn something does not work the first time, they do not get a bigger hammcr and hit
it again. Transformational leaders restudy the situation and look for a better approach. They realize that style is not as important as results (Lcwis, 1996)
The latest thinking on leadership is that it should be transforniationaL This means that leaders should be able to provide vision and direction for the organisation, and that
they should be able to cncrgise and inspire other members of the organisation in the
pursuit of organisational objectives. Vision is concerned with the long-term goals of an
Organisation, which are the basis for its strategy about how it should carry out its work In devclopmcntal settings, transformational leaders with vision and a sense of strategy
%ill be those who
140
13chavioural Aspects of Transfonnitionat Leadership in Manufacturing Orranisations
* Arc sccn to be able to find clear and workable ways to overcome obstacles,
* Arc conccmcd about the qualities of the services their organisation provides to
the mass of tile people and,
* Can inspire other members to do likewise
Utcraturc about situation strength says that, situation may be the most ambiguous
aspect of leadership, the nature of task-, the work setting, presence of formal rules and
regulations arc a few of the situational variables that can affect the leadership process. The situation can constrain or facilitate a leader's action and leaders can change diffmnt aspects of the situation in order to be more cffcctivc (Hughes, Ginnctt, &
Curphy, 1993). It is also likely that the type of cmploycc in a strong situation will have
adaptcd to that strong situation and will not challcngc the system. This is not true of
the weak situation where the individual is probably more used to, and accepting of,
ambiguity and a lack of a strong company policy, and is likely to deliver an individual
rcsNnse akin to their own ways of behaving in any particular situation.
For Research Question No. 2: Do transfonnational leaders make internal
attributions for the cause of poor pcrfonnancc in
manufacturing organisations?
7bcrc does not appear to be any literature available, which directly discusses the
attributions made by leaders and Particularly transformational leadership in
manufacturing organisations. However, literature on attributions made by leaders and
transformational leadership is available in general settings.
Offerman et al. (1998) anticipated that the behaNiours of the leaders would depend
upon the type of attribution that they had made for the groups' performance. For
instance, while poor performance that was attributcd to effort (an internal and unstable
cause) might motivate leaders to actively intervene, similarly poor performance that
, was attributed to luck (an cxtcmal and unstable cause) might not motivate any
response. Indeed, results demonstrated that the attributions made regarding group
141
Behavioural Aspects of Transfomution3l LcadcrshiI2 'n Manufacturing Organisations
pcrformancc significantly affected a leader's subsequent interactions and behaviour
towards a group. The attributions formed by leaders arc important antecedents to tlicir
subsequent behaviour.
in one line of research, Dobbins and Russell (1986b) examined supervisory liking,
prcdicting that leaders would attribute poor performance to internal factors and
rmWnd more punitively towards a disliked, versus a liked, follower. Coinciding with
this cxpcctation, a laboratory and a field study largely confirmed these hypotheses. In a
sccond cxtcnsion, Dobbins and Russell (1986a) found that leaders were morc inclined
to draw internal attributions for follower behaviour due, in part, to self-serving biases
(I. c., because this deflects blame from the leader). Interestingly, other data indicate that
one way to mitigate this bias is to provide supervisors with direct experience in a task
domain (e. g., Mitchell & Kalb, 1982). That is, the more cxpcricncc a supervisor has,
the more likely he/she is to consider situational/cnviromncntal factors when
formulating an attribution and the less likely helshe is to recommend changes to the
task (i. c., simpler materials).
For Rcsc=h Question No. 3: Do transformational leaders seck more feedback
from thcir followcrs than non-tmnsformational
managcrs or leadcrs?
Feedback is central to leadership. It is the key to leaders' sclf-insight. Without
fecdback leaders would be in the dark about the cffects of their decisions and actions
on their organisations and their relationships. Feedback stems from a numbcr of
sources. Some feedback comes from objective data: information about finances
(rcports of expenses and revenues), human resources (data on cmploycc turnover,
numbers attending various training courses, salary surveys in the labour market outside
the fm), and business processes (error rates, projects completed on time, invcntory).
other feedback comes from subjective data: comments or ratings from one's
. supcrvisor, followers, peers, customers, and/or suppliers. Feedback is valuable for
many reasons. It directs, motivates, and rewards behaviour. It is the basis for
devclopmcnt and career planning, and it contributes to building cffectivc intcrpcrsonal
rclationships. it is an important element in learning. We know fliat pcople learn by
142
Behaviount Aslscts of Transformational Lcadershil2 in ManufactuHng Organisationi
modclling others, trying new behaviour, and receiving fccdback on how well thcy arc
doing.
A review of the literature resulted in the following discussion about fccdback, bascd on
literature reviews by Ilgcn, Fisher, & Taylor, (1979); Larson, (1984); London, (1988);
and Nadlcr, (1979), Atwater ct at (1995), Gutluic & KcIly-Radford (1998), Zaccaro &
Klimoski (2001).
Feedback directs behaviour, that is, it keeps goal-dircctcd behaviour on coursc. It
influences futurc performance goals, essentially creating objectives for achieving highcr levels of performance in the future. Actually, positive fccdback is a
rcinforccment in and of itself.
Fccdback cnhanccs learning. It increases cmployccs' abilities to dctect crrors on their
own. It helps leaders realize what they need to know and what they need to do to
improve. Feedback incrcascs motivation by demonstrating what behaviours contribute
to successful performance. It helps people clarify their beliefs about the cffccts of their
b. chaviour. Fcedback increases the salience of the information and die importance of
the fccdback process.
Feedback increases in the amount of power and control leaders fccl. This applies to
both the source of feedback and the rccipicnt. Fccdback increases a leaders' fccling of involvcmcnt in the task. Feedback about individual performance coupled with
information about cnvironmcntal conditions and opportunities helps leaders form a
carcer identity that is challenging and potentially rewarding.
In negotiations, feedback is a mechanism for evaluating offers. In decision-making,
fccdback about the results of the decision helps groups and individuals rccognizc
cognitive biases (e. g., the tendency to overly weight information that is worded
negatively) and to avoid these biases in the future.
Feedback is generally acknowledged as an essential ingredient for cffcctivc leadership
Olicbcrt & Klatt, 2001). Studies show that good leaders communicate fcclings and
ideas, actively solicit new ideas from others, and cffectivcly articulate arguments, and
143
persuade others (Bcnnis & Nauus, 1985, Kanter, 1983, Parks, 1985, Atwater ct al, 1995). Effective communications skills arc important because they provide leaders and followers with greater access to information relevant to important organisational decisions (Ficchtncr & Kraycr, 1986, Marsick & Watkins, 1990). Organisations have a
variety of devices for obtaining feedback. Management reports, concerning profits,
productivity, quality, sales, employee turnover, and other aspects of organisational life
provide valuable information on the extent to which leader actions are effective. In
addition, performance evaluations and attitude surveys may provide fccdback on the basis of which a leader may adapt rather than continue an undesirable course of action. Njany of the problems a leader faces have been faced before and these arc minor
variations. More serious and recurring issues may well be dealt with by %%Tittcn
policies and procedures. This leads to consistency of action and eliminates the
frustration and time pressures which result from handling cach problem as if it were an isolated event. Tbc development of policies and procedures is a dccision-mak-ing
prmcss, which establishes the limits within which future decisions are made.
For Research Question No. 4.: Is clan culture tile most common cultural
cnviromncnt crcatcd or misting in parallcl with transfonnational leadcrship?
About organisational culture, the most accWmcd study was conducted by Schein using
a qualitative approach. Schein stated that leadership and culture are two sides of the
, Same coin and neither can be understood on its own. He went on further to elaborate
that "the only important thing that leaders do is to create and manage culture, and the
unique talent of leaders is their ability to work with culture, Schein (1985). Schein's
study rekindled a new interest in examining the relationship between leadership and
organisational culture using quantitative analysis, Avolio & Bass (1998). The
interaction between leadership and organisational culture has been rccogniscd by Bass
who stated that "organisational culture affects leadership as much as leadership affects
organisational culture"', Bass (1998). The importance of leadership in relation to
organisational culture is paramount, as leaders can become sources of values within an
organisational culture and thus have an impact on followers, Bennis & Nanus; (1985).
Several studies suggested that leadership is the driving force in organisational culture,
144
Behavioural Aspects of Transformational Leadership in Manufacturing Orgmisafions
Avolio & Bass (1998); Badaracco & Ellsworth (1989); Bass & Avolio (1993,1994);
Bums (1978); Dcn Hartog, Van Muijcn & Koopman (1996); Faitholm (1991);
Kuczmarski & Kuczmarski (1995); Schein (1985), Daft (2002).
According to Bass, transactional leaders work within their organisational cultures
following existing rules, procedures and norms-, transformational leaders change their
culture by first understanding it and then realigning the organisation's culture with a
new vision and a revision of its shared assumptions, values and norms, Bass (1985).
Ibus, there is constant interplay between culture and Icadcrship, as leaders can be both
trxisactional and transformational in organisations.
Camcron & Quinn dcfincd four types of organisational culture as Hierarchy, Marka,
Clan and Adhocracy. Characteristics of hicrarchy culture are that it is characterized by
a formalized and structurcd place of work. Procedures govcm what people do,
cffcctivc leaders arc good coordinators and organiscrs, and maintaining a smooth-
running organisation is important. The long-term concerns of the organisation arc
stability, predictability, and efficiency. Formal rules and policies hold the organisation
together.
Competifiveriess and productivity in market organisations arc achieved through a
. Strong crnphasis on external posifioning and control. Ile basic assumptions in a
market culture are that the external environment is not benign but hostile, consumers
arc choosy and interested in value, the organisaflon is in the business of increasing its
compc6tivc position, and the major task of management is to drive the organisation
toward productivity, results, and profits. It is assumed that a clear purpose and an
aggressive strategy lead to productivity and profitability. Leaders arc hard-driving
producers and competitors. Tbcy are tough and demanding. The glue that holds the
organisation together is an emphasis on winning. Ile long-term conccrn is on
cornpc6tivc actions and achieving stretch goals and targets. Success is dcrined in terms
of markct share and penetration. Outpacing the compctition and market leadership arc
important.
Some basic assumptions of clan culture are: that the cn,, ironment can best be managcd
tIlrough tc=work- and cmployce devclopmcnt; customcrs arc best thought of as
145
Behavioural Asl! ccts of Tronsfonnation3l Lcadcrshipin 1--tanufacturing Qrganisaiioni
partners; the organisation is in the business of developing a humane work
cnvironmcnt, and the major task of managcmcnt is to cmpowcr cmployccs and facilitatc their participation, commitment, and loyalty.
The clan culture, (using Camcron and Quinn's definition) is typiried by a fricndly
place to work where people share a lot of thcmsclvcs. It is like an extended family,
Lcadcrs arc thought of as mentors and, pcrhaps, cvcn as parcnt figurcs. I'lie
organisation is held together by loyalty and tradition. Commitmcnt is high. I'lle
organisation cmphasizcs the long-tcnn bcncrit of individual dcvclopmcnt with high
cohesion and morale being important. Success is defined in terms of intcrnal climate
and concern for people. The organisation places a premium on teamwork,
participation, and consensus. However, clan cultures also use pccr pressure to cnsurc
conformity to a value system that supports the economic rcquircmcnts of the business
and such systems tend not to be tolerant of deviancy which in an industrial sctfing may
well have been a prompt for new business methods or products. Clan culture also
coexists with Ican manufacturing systems which can be demanding environments to
work in where there is a high degree of trust but at the same time also mcasurcmcnt
and regulation.
Tbc adhocracy culture is characterized by a dynamic, entrcprcncurial, and creative
workplace. People stick their necks out and take risks. Effective leadcrship is
visionary, innovative, and risk-oriented. The glue that holds the organisation together
is commitment to experimentation and innovation. I'lie emphasis is on being at the
leading edge of new knowledge, products, and/or services. Readiness for change and
mecting new challenges are important. The organisation! s long-term emphasis is on
rapid growth and acquiring new resources. Success means producing unique and
original products and services.

5.5 Implications of the Research Questions, How Important Is It To Know
The Answer, What Does It Effect:
it hu now been established that we know that transformational leadership is associated
%ith high levels of individual and organisational. pcrfon-nance (e. g. Howell & Avolio,
1993. Barling, Wcbcr & Kclloway, 1996, Geyer & Stcyrcr, 1995, Howell & Shea,
1998, Bass, 1998, Antanakis and House, 2002, Jung & Sosik, 2002, Avolio ct al, 2003,
U%ittington ct al, 2004, Zhu ct al, 2005). However, we know very little about the
psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders, namely
what -makes them tick", and how they developed this way. This point has been
indicated by some prominent scholars of leadership (e. g., Bass, 1998; House &
Ilowc1l, 1992; Judge & Bono, 2000, Popper & Mayscicss, 2002). Judge & Bono
(2000) claiming that: "Even if one considcrs transformational leadership to be a
bchavioural theory, the origins of the behaviours arc unclear. "
As YukI (1998) concluded after reviewing research on this topic, "a variety of different
influence processes may be involved in transformational leadership, and differcnt
transformational bchaviours may involve different influence processes. Research on
t, hesc processes is needed to gain better understanding of transformational leadership. "
jEly answering the research questions mentioned in this thesis, some of the concepts in
understanding the psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational
leaden, namely what "makes them tick", and how they developed this way may be
Cxplicabic. The findings of the research questions may well be come obligatory when
trallung leaders in manufacturing organisations collectively and may provide
guidelines to manufacturing leaders individually. The results of the research questions
nay also in return be supportive to improving manufacturing performance and
followcrs confidcnce. Exploring transformational leadership in Pakistani
manufacturing organisations during the process of finding answers to the rcscarch
questions, will also provide the statistics of existence of such transformational leaders
in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. Further, as a result of the answers to these
questions the need to further train leaders in manufacturing organisations for
transformational leadership characteristics may be highlighted.

5.6 The Organisations Used for Testing
The organisations used in the testing included three large heavy wcight. vchiclcs
manufacturing organisations, one mcdium weight vehicles manufacturing organisation
and one discrete parts manufacturing industry. Out of the five, three of the
organisations owned by the Govcmmcnt, one was a public organisation, and one was a
private industry. Tbrec organisations of the sample were located on the Western parts
of Pakistan and two organisations wcre locatcd on Eastern parts of Pakistan. I'lic, large
hcavy weight vehicle manufacturing organisations cmploycd from 300-500 people
, with 15-25 leaders, mcdium weight vehicle manufacturing organisations cmploycd from 100-150 people using 10-15 leaders and discrctc parts manufacturing industry
Crnploycd between 30-60 pcopic with 5-8 leaders.
5.7 Selection of Sample Size
Since sample size of the target population was large cnough, i. e., around 2000
registered engineering industries (Journal of Institution of Engineers Pakistan, 2001).
These include such major ones as, automobile industry, discrete parts manufacturing industries, light to heavy weight vehicles manufacturing organisations, textile
industries, chemical and petrochemical industries, and so on. Due to time and
cconomic constraints, it was not possible to study all the organisations or all types of
organisations. Literature was surveyed to get an estimate of a suitable sample size. In a
rc., icw of 126 articles in the field of organisation studies, which wcrc bascd on
corrclational research, Mitchell (1985) found that only twenty-one were based on
probability samples. The rest used convenience samples, that is, samples which arc
either 'chosen' by the investigator or which choose themselves (e. g., voluntccrs), Alan
13ryman and Duncan Cramer (200S). To manage the study within the givcn time frame
for research work-, it was decided to study five manufacturing organisations including
small to large manufacturing scale organisations based on a convcnicncc sampling
strategy.
148
5.8 The Sample Size Implication
it was decided to obtain sufficient in-depth answers and decided that a small number of in-depth case studies would be selected. Only by carrying out in depth work it is
possible to obtain a rich enough picture of the situation and leadership. According to
Bass and Yammarino, leadership is a process that can occur throughout organisations fl3ass, 1990; Yarnmarino, 1994). As such, it should be researched from this
organisation-wide perspective. However, the vast majority of "leadership" research investigates "managers, " "leaders, " or manager-follower relationships. Consequently,
while much of this research claims to be based on the process of leadership, the focus
is invariably from the perspective of formal authority in an organisational hierarchy.
11crice, a vast body of critical leadership data is neglected. Thus, leadership should be
rcscarched as a process that can occur throughout organisations, and not just from
peopic at the senior end of the hierarchy. Therefore to rcscarch leadership as a process
demands that processual research methods should be used. This leads into the final
issue, that of research method.
ir%-as accepted that from using a small detailed sample, (although a rich picture of the
effect of situational strength on transformational leadership would be obtained) it may
bc difficult to gencralise the results for a larger population of different companies and
that would perhaps be work for a further research study at a latcr date. A limited in-
depth survey was carried out of nearly 300-500 followers with 70-100 leaders in 5
manufacturing organisations. Interviews were the primary means of collecting data.
Ilowevcr, other types of data was also collected: curriculum vitac of leaders, and
demographic information; information about leaders' operational contexts through
mission statements, cmploycc handbooks, organisational policies, procedures,
manufacturing process sheets, drawings of manufacturing parts, and daily production
rcports. It is important to understand the difference between a qualitative and
quantitative study. Qualitative studies draw on smaller samples that provide the
opportunity for in-depth inquiry, while quantitative studies usually provide information
from large random samples (Lincoln & Guba, 1985; Patton, 1990). T"hercfore this
rcscarch focussed on the cases with in-depth information and opportunistic sampling
149
(Patton, 1990). It took nearly six months to study leadership in these fivc
manufacturing organisations. 'I'lie results obtained when compared to predictions from
the literature would suggest that the results are gcncmlisable. However, to thoroughly
test the gcncralisable question, a larger in-depth survey will be required.
5.9 The Administration of the Tests
Before collecting data from the five manufacturing organisations, permission was
sought from the top management by introducing the rescarchcr and by providing an
introductory letter from the researcher's supervisor sccking help for rescarchcr to
collect data. AlIcr the permission had been granted, the first task was to obtain die
organisation's structure, so that the researchcr could become familiar with flic
organisation's units to be studied. The same process was repeated for all the rive
manufacturing organisations of the sample.
Data collection was started from the bottom level of the organisation structure, i. e.,
from shop floor worker by using Podsakofrs transformational leadership questionnaire
for rating their leaders about trans formational leadership characteristics. The
questionnaire was translated into Urdu language (as shown in appcndix-K). This is the
pakistan national language understandable by lowcr-lcvcl hierarchy followers. The
rcscarchcr for obtaining the responses on the questionnaire approached all the
followers. Although all respondees were heavily committed to their jobs, they were
instructed by their leaders to cooperate with the researcher and complete the
questionnaire as soon as possible. Most of the followers responded quickl)r, others
took their time.
Once all the questionnaires were returned to the researcher by the followers, they were
analysed and the leaders were categorised, on the basis of transformational leadership
characteristics as rated by their followers (shown in appcndix-D). Leaders were
interviewed regarding the research questions indicated in chapter 3. Leaders were
intcrvicwcd in their officeswith prc-arrangcd time according to their convenience.

5.10 Types of People to be Contacted or In(ervicived
In all the fivc organisations, all pcople conccmcd with manufacturing from shop floor
workcr to top managcment wcrc contactcd or intcrvicwcd. In the first instancc,
followcrs of all the Icadcrs wcrc contactcd for rating dicir lcadcrs on the
trans formati onal Icadcrship scalc, establishing a distinction bctNvccn low, non-nal, or
high transformational leadcrship charactcristics for leadcrs.
Latcr, Icadcrs were intcrvicwcd irrespective of t=sforinational Ic-adcrship
charactcristics regarding the research questions mcntioned in chaptcr 3 as primary
data. Leaders who were interviewed for the purpose of collecting data about research
questions included Supervisors, Foremen, Managcrs, Deputy General hlanagcrs,
General Managm, and Project Dircctors/Managing Directors.
For furthcr confirmation/in-dcpth clarification of the data collected in the primary
phase, a questionnaire was designed regarding research questions as mentioned in
chapter 3. The same leaders were approached again for a secondary data collection as
phasc-11, and to respond on the questionnaire rating their choice on a Likcrt scale
ranging from I to 5, i. e., where I =strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. To escape the
problems of practice cffcct, i. e., to confirm the original response of phasc-1, the
duration between phasc-1, primary data, and phase-11, secondary data was eight
months.
5.11 Type of Data Collected
To find the answer to the research questions, both Vpcs of data (qualitative and
quantitative) were collected. Qualitative data included flie interviews of the
manufacturing leaders of the sample population. Quantitative data consisted of data
from questionnaires and the data collected using Camcron & Quinn (1999)
Organisation culture assessment instrument tool.

5.12 The Research methodology to be adopted In the Experimentation
For finding the answers of the research questions, the first thing was to identify
tran. srormational leaders in the manufacturing organisations. 11c litcmturc was
rcvicwcd for a valid questionnaire, which was well rcfcrcnccd and reliable for
measuring the criteria for trans formational leadership. Ile selected measuring
instrumcnt was the Podsakoff ct al (1990), 23-itcms questionnaire for evaluation or
U=rortnational leadership characteristics.
For research question 1: Do transformational leaders create a wcak- situation for
their followers in manufacturing organisations?
To answer this question it was important to measure the situation strength of the
n=ufacturing organisations; and at the same time to dctcr7ninc the leaders' behaviour
in that situation and what form of situation they created for the people they managed.
Ilowcvcr, as discussed in section 5.4 there isn't a commercially available questionnaire for measuring situation strength. So there was difficulty in doing this because situation
strength is not clearly defined in the literature for manufacturing organisations. I used
the dcfinition of Curphy ct al (1993) that the Trait approach assumes that how people b, chavc in novel, ambiguous, or what we call "weak" situations. Situations that arc
SovCrned by clearly specified rules, demands or organisational policies - arc "strong"
situations-oftcn minimize the cffects traits have on behaviour. I measured situation
g=gth of the manufacturing organisations; using the Curphy ct al (1993) definition. If
the organisation has clearly specified rules, organisational policies, manufacturing
process sheets and quality control sheets, detailed parts drawings arc available - hcncc
it is termed a strong situation (shown in table 3.1), whilst non existence of these
documents arc termed: weak situation. Ibis measure is reasonably Casy to determine
but it does have its limitations. Take for example, a strong situation defined in terms of
ruics and procedures but the person may not interpret rules and procedures as a strong
situation. It does depend upon their personality. Howcvcr I needed a working
assessment of the situation strength and we can generally say that if the company does
provide strong guidance and controls on behaviour it is trying to control that behaviour
and produce a strong situation. NVlicreas if there arc no formal rules, the mechanisms
152
13-chaviouni Asrsct"f Tr-ansfonn3tion3l-Lcadcr5hin-intianufacturinr. Org3nisation
of control arc more open and thus we assume that individual discretion in decision.
nuking has more latitude. When the leader is in a weak or strong situation I will ask
them to dcrinc the level of discretion that they create or wish for followers. I'llis is then
a perception that they have about the discretion that they would like and may have
implemented for followers. My assumption was that if they use words like setting
strong standards and controls then they tend to be trying to create a strong situation,
whilst if they stress flexibility opcn-ncss and discretion then they are giving latitude to
followers even though they are in a strong situation or perhaps weak situation
themselves. It was my belief that depending upon their personality they will favour
wcak or strong situational strength for followers and this aspect of latitude can be
captured by the measurement of trans formational leadership. In this instance the
measure was being used rather like a trait measure to identify their personality
disposition. I measured the leaders belief and attitude to their followers by asking how
much discretion they favoured for followers in performing their jobs. I also tried to
identify the leaders actual behaviour (actions) towards followers. I did this by
measuring the follower reactions to the leader to see if the beliefs had actually been
carried through into actions.
-rbe way I framed these questions was as follows: 'define your organisation in terms of
procedures and policies and what arc your opinions about favouring discretion to
followers in doing their jobs? I recorded the statements from leaders on the contact
summary sheet as dcfined by Miles and Hubcrman (1984) for example "Process sheets
and drawings of the manufacturing parts arc available in the organisation, I favour
dis=tion to followers. " Overall I thought that if I got a greater response of "favours
disaction to followers" in strong situation from leaders with transformational
leadership characteristics (on the average more than 50%) then this answered the
question in a positive direction. However if I got a response of " favours limited or no
discretion to followers or favours limited discretion to followers in performing their
joW in strong situation by leaders with transformational leadership characteristics
then this . vill give a negative answer.
To verify the data obtained in phase-I (qualitative data); a questionnaire was designed
(sho%%m in appendix F) for phase-Il (quantitative); on situational aspects. 711c sanic

4-Fairly oflcn and S= cmphasisc that choicc at all times.
There were limitations to the experiment. For example, I used the scif-designcd
questionnaire in phasc-11 to validate the rcsults of phasc-1, bccausc no valid tool was
available to measure the discretion giving by Icadcrs to followcrs. Ilowcvcr ovcrall I
fclt that this was a reasonable measure because all the questions asked in the
questionnaire were framcd targeting the concept of situational strength and I was rather disappointed that some leaders tended to answer in the middle of the range of Likcrt's
sc-alc in phasc-11. Howcvcr, I did not think that this invalidated the results, because
while concluding the results, the overall mcan response of all the Icadcrs was
considered and not the individual responses.
The precise steps used in this expcrimcnt were:
step 1. Collection of qualitative data by interviewing manufacturing leaders in
phase-I about situation strength in their organisations and how they
perform in that situation (on the average 5-8 leaders from each
manufacturing organisation).
Step 2. Record the interview data on a separate contact summary sheet for each leader.
Step I Analyse the interviews by qualitative methods. This %vill be done by
following the steps of interview analysis procedure described by Arlene
Fink (2003) by catcgorising and coding all the responses to create

For research Question No. 2 : Do transfonnational leaders make internal
attributions for the cause of poor pcrformancc in
manufacturing organisations?
To answer this research question, I needed to determine how leaders measured as having transformational leadership qualities; attributed the causes of poor
performance. To do this I used the attributional concept by Mitchell and Wood (1979),
which attempts to link leader's actions to followers poor performance, in which
supcrvisors respond to poorly performing followers. In the first step, the leader
diagnoses the cause of the followers poor performance using Kelley's (1967) co-
variation principle, as discussed in section 3.3. Leaders analyse the follower's
behaviour with regard to consistency over time, distinctiveness across settings and
consensus across followers. Then they attribute the poor performance to factors that
arc either internal or external to follower. In the second step of the model, leaders
implement a con-cctivc response to improve the performance. I measured attribution of
the manufacturing leaders towards followers by asking questions in phase-I of data
collection, what are the causes of poor performance at any time in their organisations? This measure towards the cause of poor performance was reasonable to know the
attribution made by leaders. However, limitations to this measure arc that, leaders
liking or disliking of their followers may bias and hence affect the attribution made by
leaders. For example, if a leader likes his followers for any reason, and the cause of
poor performance may be for the followers reduced cfforts or due to internal factors,
but the leader may attribute the causes of poor performance towards external factors
such as, material invcntorylquality problems, machines break- downs ctc. To overcome this problem, I decided to validate the statements made by the leaders by inquiring
about the causes of poor performance from other sources, i. e., inquiring from other leaders of the same section, documents showing the records of followers performance
or documents showing the causes of production dclay or poor quality. If the leaders
replies for the causes of poor performance were "machines or tool break down
problems, material or tool inventory problems, technical problcms i. e., power failure,
malfunctioning of machines", these arc termed as external attribution. However, if
leaders replies arc, for example, " poor performing followers, lack of interest by
followers in doing their jobs, inexperienced followers or lack of ability of followers"
159
lichaviour3l AsUcts of Trans fomiational-Lcadcrship-inýionufacturing Organisations
these were tcrmcd internal attributions. I recorded the statements from leaders on a
contact summary shcct like "the causes of poor performance arc some times due to
machine or tool break- down problems, causes of poor pcrformancc arc due to
followers reduced cffort and intcrcsf. I thought that if I got more rcsponsc of "causes
of poor performance due to external factors" from leaders with transformational
leadership characteristics then this would answcr the question as, negative. Whilst if I
got more response of " causes of poor performance due to internal factors" by leaders
with transformational Icadcrship charactcristics (on the average more than 50%) then
this would answcr the rcscarch qucstion as, positive.
To verify the answers of qualitative data collection (phasc-1), a questionnaire was designed (shown in appcndix-F) to gather data on the attributional aspects and ask
same leaders to rate their choice about the attributions they made towards the cause of
poor performance. Likcrt scale 1-5 was used, where, l=strongly disagree, 2=disagrcc,
3=no strong view on either side, 4=agrcc and 5- strongly agree. There were limitations
to the experiment. For example, only the leaders whose answers were recorded in
phasc-I of data collection were again approached so that if there was any bias in the
response of phasc-I it would have reconfirmed the response of phase-1. However
overall I fclt that this was a reasonable measure although I was rather disappointed that
leaders tended to answer in the middle of the range of the Likcrt scale. However I did
not think that this invalidated the results, because while concluding the results the
overall average response for all the responses was considered not the individual
rcsponses.
The precise steps used in this experiment was: Step I. Collection of qualitative data by personal interviews of manufacturing
leaders in phase-I of data collection about attributions they make about the causes of poor performance in their organisations, (on the average 5-8 leaders from each manufacturing organisation).
Step 2. Record the interview data on a separate contact summary sheet for each leader.
Step 3. Analyse the interviews by qualitative methods. This will. be done by
following the steps of interview analysis procedure describcd by Arlene

For rcsc=h Qucstion No. 3 Do transformational lcadcrs scck more fccdback from thcir followas than non-transfomiational Icadcrs or managcrs?
To answer this question I needed to dctcnnine how trans formational leaders get feedback about their actions in manufacturing organisations. I used the definition of
London, (1997), that the fccdback can come from a number of sources. It can come directly from the tasks; it can come from other people- supervisors, followers, peers,
and customers. I measured fccdback by asking manufacturing leaders, how they get fccdback about their actions. If the leaders' replies arc "ask followers about the
progress of the job done, or have daily short meetings with followers" they arc termed
direct feedback, and if the leaders replies were "check daily production reports, check daily production targets, when followers inquire or seek guidance from thca' arc
termed as indirect feedback. I recorded the statements from leaders on the contact
summary sheet as defined by Miles and Hubcrman (1984) for cxample "I review daily
production reports or daily production targets to get fccdback, I have daily short
review meetings with followers. " Overall I thought that if I got more response of "ask
followers about the progress of the job done or have daily or weekly short review
mcctings with followers" from leaders with transformational leadership characteristics (on the average more than 50%) then this will answer the question as, positive. Whilst
if I got a greater response from leaders like, " check daily production reports, check
production targets to get feedback, or, whenever production is held up or quality
problems arise, then I ask from the followers about the causes"with transformational
leadership characteristics, then this will answer the research question as, negative.
The task design fiterature points to autonomy, task significance, feedback, task
identity, and skill variety as attributes of the task-. The significance of a task, and one's
contribution to the success of the task-, would determine how important the feedback is
to traits, competencies and values that comprise a role-speciric identity that may be
crucial to an individual's self concept. Task feedback is a necessary ingredient in
reinforcement or affirmation of self-perccption, and one's ability to identify with a task
would affect how important that feedback is to an individual's self-concept. Skill

varicty would providc infonnation rcgarding a numbcr of traits, compctcncics and
values that comprise diffcrcnt role specific idcntitics.
There were limitations to the experiment. For cxampIc I examined only a limited
number of characteristics for fccdback. I selected only those feedback characteristics
that have been related to manufacturing organisations. Face to face interviews arc
particularly useful, as the research question under investigation cannot be answered by
direct observation. We can generally say leaders in the manufacturing cnvironmcnt
either get fccdback about their actions directly from followers or indirectly from daily
rcports, i. e., production reports, production targets, quality rcports. However to know
about transformational leaders behaviour in manufacturing organisations about gctting feedback? I thought that it was a reasonable measure, as there arc normally two
possible ways for manufacturing leaders to get feedback about their actions in their
organisation is either do it directly i. e., from followers, peers, supervisors,
management people or indirectly i. e., from production reports, targets achieved, and
quality complaints or quality reports.
The prccise stcps used in this expaiment wcre:
step 1. Collection of qualitative data by face-to-face intcrvicws of
manufacturing leaders in phase-1, how they get feedback about their
actions or progress of the job done?
Step 2. Record the intcrview data on a separate contact summary sheet for each leader.

Behavioural Aspccts of Transformational Leadershin in Manufacturing Organisations
For research Question No. 4.: Is clan culture the most common cultural cnviroruncnt created or cxisting in parallel with trans formational leadership?
To answer this research question I needed to collect organisation culture data from
leaders in manufacturing organisations. I used the Organisational Cultural Assessment
Instrument (OCAI) tool developed by Camcron & Quinn (1999) to measure
organisation culture. Their model assumes that there are four different "models" of
Organisational culture, six essential dimensions of culture, and that each model has
differcnt preferred approaches for each of the six dimensions.
The Hicrarchy Culture is based on Wcbces thcory of bureaucracy and values tradition,
consistency, cooperation, and conformity. The Hierarchy model focuses more on
internal than cxtcmal issues and values stability and control ovcr flexibility and
discretion. This is the traditional "command and control" modd of organisations,
which works well if the goal is efficiency and the organisational environment is stable
and simpic-if there are very few changes in customers, customer prcfercnccs,
competition, technology, ctc.
The hlarkct Culture also valued stability and control but focused more on external (n=k-ct) rather than internal issues. This culture tends to view the external
cnvironmcnt as threatening, and seeks to identify threats and opportunities as it seeks
competitive advantage and profits.
The Clan Culture focuses on internal issues and values flexibility and discretion rather
tl= sccking stability and control. Its goal is to manage the environment through
teamwork, participation, and consensus.
The Adhocracy Culture focuses on external issues and values flexibility and discretion
rather than seeking stability and control; its key values arc creativity and risk taking.
Orgartisational charts arc temporary or non-cxistcncc; roles and physical space arc also
tcmpomry.
167
Behayioural Asrscts of Transfonnational Ltadcrshi2 in Manufactuflng Organisations
71c six key dimensions of organisational culture, according to Camcron and Quinn,
= Dominant Characteristics, Organisational Leadership, Management of Employees,
Organisational Gluc, Strategic Emphasis, and Criteria for Oudging) Success.
Tcrminology of the questionnaire is very clear and it is well validated tool for
organisation culture assessment, Bcrrio (2003), Pierce (2004). Quinn (1996),
suggested that upper quadrant of OCAI, describes trans formational leadership roles as
the leader is portrayed as a motivator, attending to commitmcn4 cmphasising company
rules, and challenging people with new goals. In addition, the leader is a vision setter,
focussing on the purpose, direction, and communicating a sense of where the
organisation will be over the long term. However, he further suggested that the lower
quadrants of OCAT, describe transactional leadership roles as is portrayed as
taslanakcr; attending to performance and focus on results and as an analyscr,
concentrating on the efficiency of operations.
In order to conduct this experiment I decided to collect data from all the leaders from
the five manufacturing organisations, and segregate the data with respect to
transformational leadership characteristics to identify the difference. I distributed the
Organisational Cultural Assessment Instnuncnt (OCAI) to leaders in the
manufacturing organisations'with detailed instructions, i. e., how to fill the instrument.
NVhcn I got back all the responses from the leaders, I compiled the responses with
respect to transformational leadership characteristics for each individual organisation.
After the compilation of the data it was plotted as per OCAI instructions. There were
four quadrants on the plot. I thought if I got the highest score in quadrant 11 that is
identified as clan culture quadrant, by leaders with a high score on the trans formational
leadership characteristics, this would give positive answer to the research question.
However if I got the highest score on any other quadrant i. e., quadrant 1, as Adhocracy
culture, quadrant 111, as Hierarchy culture and quadrant IV, as Market culture, then this
would give a negative answer to the research question. There were limitations to the
c. xpcdmcnt. For example leaders have to rate their choice on OCAI questionnaire by
assigning numbers to each alternative of each question, i. e., A, B, C, and D the sum Of
which all the alternative (A, B, C, and D) should be 100, as it is a prerequisite for
filling in the OCAT questionnaire. Overall I fcIt that this is a reasonable measure
because OCAT is a wcIl-validated tool to measure organisational culture. It is to be
168

noted that while constructing organisation profiles; mean response of all the leaders
was calculated -with respect to trans formational leadership characteristics and not the
individual responses to know the overall culture of the organisation.

n=bcr and their leader number. The data entered was twice checked to ensure
c, offcctncss for any typing mistake as shown in appcndix-B.

1, atcr the data obtained from followers on transformational leadership questionnaire
was entered into the Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS) software for
reliability analysis to find the reliability of data. Cronbach's Alpha of the data from
followers was found to be 0.87 for phasc-I as shown bclow. Tbc reliability of the data
for the transformational leadership scale was found good which allow going for further
prc)ccss.
CronbacWs alpha measures how well a set of items (or variables) measures a single
unidimensional latcnt construct.
Cronbach's alpha can be written as a function of the numbcr of test items and the
, avcrage inter-correlation among the items. Below, for conccptual purposes, the
formula for the standardized Cronbach's alpha is:
N-T
11crc N is cqual to the number of items and r-bar is the average intcr-itcm correlation
=ong, the itcms.
172
Behavioural Asrscts of Transformational Leadership- hiM anu facturing Orcanisations
It c-an be seen from this formula that if we increase the number of itcms, we increase
Cronbach's alpha. Additionally, if the average intcr-itcm, correlation is low, alpha will be low. As the average intcr-itcm correlation increases, Cronbach's alpha increases as
WC11.
This makes sense intuitively - if the intcr-itcm correlations arc high, then there is
c%idcncc that the items arc measuring the same underlying construct. This is really
what is meant when someone says they have "high" or "good" reliability. They arc
rcfcffing to how well their items measure a single unidimensional latcnt construct.
Alpha cocfficicnt ranges in value from 0 to I and may be uscd to describe the
rcliability of factors extracted from dichotomous (that is, questions with two possible
answcrs) and/or multi-point fonnatted questionnaires or scales (i. e., rating scale: I-
poor, 5= excellent). The higher the score, the more reliable the generated scale is.
Nunnaly (1978) has indicated 0.7 to be an acccptable reliability cocfficicnt but lowcr
tjxe: ýholds are sometimes used in the literature.

c: Lrricd out only in Pakistani manufacturing organisations, therefore the results can
only be applied to that culture and would need to be verified and further tested in other
cultures
The experiments used valid tools for assessing transformational leadership
characteristics and organisation culture. The leaders responses were recorded on
contact summary sheets in phasc-I of data collection. In the light of responses of
leaders in phasc-1, a questionnaire was designed to reconfirm the validity of data of
phasc-L TIc duration between phase-I and phasc-11, was kept nearly cight months to

6.1 Introduction
Tb, c aim of this research is to explore transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations
in Pak-listan and to contribute to the knowledge of understanding the psychological substructure,
us)c internal world of transformational Icadcrs, namely what "makes them tick: ' and how they
drvCloped this way (Popper & Maysclcss (2002). Kark & Shamir (2002) have also stated,
-=sc=h on transformational leadership has not fully cxplorcd the question of what are the
und. erlying processes and mechanisms by which transformational leaders exert influctice on
follawcrs and ultimately on performance. Judge and Bono (2000) highlighted IEvcn if one
considers transformational leadership to be a bchavioural theory. the origins of die bchaviours
= unclear. ' To explore transformational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisations; the
pod=koff ct al (1990) transformational leadership invcntory questionnaire was used to establish
,2 distinct. ion between transformational and non-transformational leaders in Pakistani
==Ufacturing organisations. For undcrstanding the bchaviours of transformational leaders in
==ufacturing organisations; research questions were formulated as posited in chaptcr 3. To find
ot gg the answers to the research questions, data was collected from five manufacturing
OMWIisations; in Pakistan and analysed in this chapter. Out of these five manufacturing
M=ji=tions, three of them were state owned cntcrprises and one of thcrn was a private and one
j. 5'a public limited organisation.

vd, iclcs in collaboration with foreign companies for defence forces of Pakistan employing 3DO-
,, W people in one manufacturing unit, with 20-30 leaderstmanagcrs. Senior management in these , rc
C)r; =isaflons was from military forces of Pakistan. However, managcrs/supcrvisors and junior
5UIT were all civilians. One private manufacturing Organisation was in tile business of

6.2 Data Analysis of Phase-I (Qualitative Data):
In phasc-I of data collection, followers in each organisation were asked to rate their inunediatc
Ic2der on the transformational leadership survey inventory questionnaire as developed by
pods. akoff ct al. (1990) on a 7-point scale ranging from I=strongly disagree to 7-strongly agree
Z. 5 Sbo-A-n in appendix-A. For better understanding of the Podsak-off ct al. (1990) questionnaire by
10, W level followers who can't understand English properly, the questionnairewas translated into
palcistan national language i. e., Urdu as shown in appcndix-K. Followers and leaders were
. ==d of the confidentiality of their personnel or organisation idcntirication and they were
assiped numbers by the researcher to recognize them. The summary of responses from
jr, ollowca on Podsakoff ct al (1990) is shown in Appcndix-B.
, TbC followers' responses were analysed to establish a distinction between transformational
1,: 36ership characteristics as high, normal, or low transformational leadership, using the t-test of
I. s= Statistical package for data analysis version 12. The West method is an appropriate method
for calculating the mean, standard deviation, and standard error mean of the data. Uter,
followers of each leader were grouped together and the average score of the leader was
C; Ikulated to find out that person's overall average. Leaders were classificd as having high
U=forrnational leadership characteristics if the mean Of the score was more than 4.0 (since
181
Dchavioural Aspects of Transform itional I. cadcrsliill in Mang facturin&Organi sm ions
==n of scale used is 4.0. Leaders with means between 3.0 and 4.0 were classificd as having
txr. rrL21 transformational leadership characteristics and leaders with means less than 3.0 were
CLusificd as having low transformational leadership characteristics. Ten transfortnational leaders
, wc= selected having the highest scores and, 10 non-transformational leaders were selected
ba-, ing the lowest scores and 13 leaders were selected having mcdian scorc. All the leaders were
ir,: cr%ic%vcd subsequently in their officcs, each interview lasting between 10-20 minutes. I'lie
i..! gcr-. icw started by the researcher introducing himself and explaining the purpose of the
inicr%icws in phase-1.
Data Analysis (Phase-I) for Research Question No. 1:
jFcr looking into the research question 1,
Do transformational leaders create a weak situation for their followers in manufacturing organisations?
All the leaders were pre-classified for transformational leadership charactcristics using the
podsakofrs transformational leadership questionnaire completed by their followers, and results
=C sbo%%m in Appendix D. Therefore Stcp-I of the flow chart to answer research question
, U=bcr I (flow chart shown in figure 5.1) did not need to be rcpeated. Ile second step of the r fWW chart was to collect qualitative data. The selected leaders were asked to dcrine their
crrg=isation in terms of situation strength and if they favoured discretion in decision-making to
t!,,. if f um ary ollowcrs in performing their jobs. Leaders replies were noted on the contact sm
ShCCt (shown in Appendix-J) and analysed by following the steps of interview analysis procedure
dcfixwd by Fink (2003). The first step of the interview analysis by Fink (2003) as shown in figure
is to catcgorise the responses and assign codes to each category, as shown in table-6.5 and
tlx Mlies from the leaders and their respective codes are shown in table-6.6. Only the selected
I=jc: rs were interviewed on the basis of transformational leadership characteristics using the
podsakoff ct al (1990) questionnaire as discussed in section 6.1, therefore leaders numbcr of
t2ble 6.6 are not in order, only those leaders numbers are shown who wcre intcrviewed in phase-I
of data analysis.

6.4 Results of Data Analysis of Phase-I for Research Question No. I
Looking at the summary of responses shown in tabic-6.1 1; it was observed that all types of leaders dcrinc the situation strength in their organisations as strong, i. c., code "1". 90% of the leaders said that the proper proccdurcs and rules were existing in their organisations and only 100,0 leaders said that the existing rules and procedures were not being properly held or implemented in their organisations as shown by code "6" of tabic-6.1 1. Most of the leaders
favour limited discretion to experienced followers in performing thcirjobs, about 10% as shown by codc'2" but leaders with normal score on transformational leadership scale favour somewhat higher limited discretion i. e., 25% for experienced followers in performing their jobs. However
80% leaders with a high score on the transformational leadership scale favour discretion to their
followers in pcrforming their jobs and 30% appreciate suggestions by followers to improve
quality or the processes as shown by response code "T' of tabic-6.1 1. Whereas only 20% of
leaders favour discretion to their followers with a low score on transformational leadership scale,
and 75% leaders favour providing discretion to their followers with normal score on
tr=fonnational leadership scale as shown in code 'T' of tablc-6.1 1. However as shown in code
-4- of tabic-6.1 1,80% of leaders with a low score on trans formational leadership scale give no
discretion to their followers in performing thcirjobs.

In short. it can be concluded that. results of data analysis indicate that leaders with high or
normal transformational leadership characteristics favours discretion to their followers in the
performance of their jobs. however leaders with low transformational leadership characteristics
enforce strict implementations of rules and procedures and don't allow followers to deviate from
the standards.

Looking at the summary of responses at table-6.18, it was observed that leaders with high
transformational leadership charactcristics, 30% of leaders attributed the causes of poor
performance either to followers lack of interest in pcrforming their jobs, or inexperienced
followm as shown for code "'I". NVhcreas 80% of leaders with low transformational leadership
characteristics attributed the causes of poor performance either due to followers, lack of interest
of followers in performing thcirjobs, or inexperienced followers. However 50% of Icadcrs with
high transformational leadership characteristics and 58% with normal leadership characteristics
attributed causes of poor performance either to machines break down or tool break- down as
shown in code "2" whilst only 10% of leaders with low transformational leadership do this.

Lcadcrs attribution towards followers as being hard working and cfricicnt shows that 30% of leadcrs with high transformational Icadcrship charactcristics and 33% with normal leadership
characteristics attributed their followers as hard working and cfricicnt but none of the leaders
with low transformational leadcrship charactcristics attributcd their followcrs as hard working or
cfricicnt as shown by code numbcr 'W".
it was observed that none of the leaders with high or low transrormational leadership
characteristics attributed the causes of poor performance as due to technical problems as shown by code 'T', whereas only 8% of leaders with normal transrormational leadership characteristics
attributed the causes of poor performance as technical problems. However 10% of leaders with
high transformational leadership characteristics and 8% of leaders with normal transformational
leadership characteristics attributed the causes of poor performance as delays in procurement
proccss as shown by code "6".
From the above results, it was concluded that most of the leaders with high or normal
transformational leadership characteristics, attributed causes of poor performance to external factors, i. e., material or tool problems, technical problems or delays on procurement process.
NVhercas leaders with low transformational leadership characteristics attributed causes of poor
performance more towards internal factors, i. e., follower's incfficicncy, follower's lack of interest or inexperience followers.

6.9 Further Experimental Work for Confirmat ion/Vcri ficat Ion of
Qualitative Data (Phase-1):
in phasc-II of this research, tcrmcd as the secondary data collection phase, the sample size was
cniargcd to study all leaders in each organisation; a questionnaire (shown in appcndix-F) was
dcsignCd taking account of the responses made earlier in phasc-1, to obtain a more clear picture
of the situational strength and attributional aspects. Lcadcrs were again approached aftcr a
duration of eight months from the phase-I measurements, to respond to the questionnairc, using a
Ukcrt scale ranging I to 5, where 1= don't emphasize or don't agree and 5-Cmphasize that
choice all the time or strongly agree. Leaders responses arc shown in table No. 6.26 to Table No.
6-39. Ile questionnaire was composed of three sections. Section I of the questionnaire consists
of general qucstions about the respondents, i. e., thcir position in the organisation, cxpcricncc,
age, number of people working in the organisation, and how many people each leader directly
MmIagcd. Section 2 of the questionnaire was to rate their choices, considering themselves as a
1c; adcr, and section 3 of the questionnaire was to rate their choices, considering themselves as a
followcr. Howcvcr, the top position leader of management hierarchy only necds to respond to
scction I and section 2, as a leader and needs not respond to section 3, as a follower.
6.10 Data analysis of Phase-II:
Data obtained from the questionnaire was analysed following the steps sllo%,. m in figurc 5.1.2.
Leaders with a high score on the transformational leadership characteristics scale were grouped
together to see the overall response of the leaders with high transformational leadership
characteristics. Leaders with a low score on the transformational leadership characteristics scalc
, were grouped together to see the overall response of the leaders with low transformational
leadership characteristics for each question of the questionnairc. Similarly leaders with a normal
=ore on transformational leadership characteristics Scale were grouped together to see the
overall response of the leaders with normal transformational leadership characteristics for each
question of the questionnaire as follows:

6.11 Results of Data Analysis of Phase-11 (Quantitative data)
From the comparison of responses for all the organisations, it was observed that, all types of
leaders (leaders with low, Wgh or normal transformational leadership charactcristics) prefer to
have strict worldng discipline among the followers. 11cy had clear standards on praise and
punishment as shown in data analysis of question I and question 2 of questionnaire section 2A
and 3A. Tile response range was from 3.50 to 4.29, which is a more positive response of the
question, since a score more than 3 shows a positive response to a question whcrcas a score less
th, an 3 shows a negative response to the question by the respondents.
209
13chavioural Asnects of Transformational Lcadcrsliip in Manti factudn g.. Qrpan i sat ions
Most of the leaders dcfined the situation in their organisation as strong as shown by tile
msponscs to question No. 3 (opcrating a highly structured and disciplincd systcm) of
questionnaire section 2A and 3A; the response mnge was from 3.49 to 3.84.
In ordcr to determine the amount of discretion leaders favour for thcir followcrs, it was obscrvcd
that leaders with a low score on the transformational leadership scale, sct c1carcr goals for thcir
followcrs i. c., 3.44 on the scale ranging from I to 5, while, leaders with a high score on the
t=nsformational leadership scale, sct Icss clear goals for thcir fallowcrs, i. e., 2.74 as shown in
the data analysis results of question number 3 of questionnaire scction 2A. However, while
rcsponding to section 3 of the questionnaire by Icadcrs (whcn they considcr thcrnsclvcs as followers of a higher level leader) defined their leaders as setting clear goals for thcra and the
rcsp, onsc range was from 2.75 to 2.93 as shown in question 4 of qucstionnairc scction 3A of table
6.46. Leaders with a low score on the transformational lcadcrship scale, prefer to make decision
thcrnsclves as shown in question 5 of questionnaire section 2A as appcar 3.31 on the scale,
whcrCas, leadcrs with a high or normal score on the transformational Icadcrship scale delegate
decision making to followers as the overall average score was less and appear as 2.42.
Lenders with a low score on the transformational leadership scale, closely monitor their
followers as shown in question 6 of the questionnaire section 2A as the overall average score is
3.27 on the scale, whereas, leaders with a high or normal score on the transformational
leadership scale give more freedom to followers as the overall average score is less and appear as
2-36.
It is to be noted that every measurement has some uncertainty (experimental error). Errors may
bc introduced by sampling, analytical method measurement (e. g. bias introduced by instruments
or personal errors). To minimise the experimental error, results were concluded on the basis of
calculating the mean of all the responses of leaders and not for an individual response.
From the results of analysis of the questionnaire, it was also noted that most of the leaders
in=pcctivc of transformational leadership characteristics, indicated that they should be
conccmed with the opinion of their followers about them, when responding as a leader to the
quesfion I should be concerned about the opinion that my followers have about me. " However,
they also indicated that they should also be concerned about the opinion of their leader about
210
chavioural Asnects of Transfomiational Leadershin in M anti ractudne Ow-anisatio
them, wlicn responding as a follower to the question "I should be concerned about tile opinion
that my leader has about me. "
Leaders with a low score on the trans form ational leadership scale, make more attributions
towards the followers for failure in the processes or meeting targcts. As the average score for
question 2 "My followers are the cause, when things do not go as planned" of questionnaire
smtion 2D was 2.76, whereas, leaders with high or normal score on the transformational
leadership scale less agree with attributing the causes of failure towards followers, and the score
%-as slightly less i. e., 2.30 to 2.61.
flowcvcr, concerning leaders responses for the question "rhe cxtcmal cnviro=cnt of the
organisation plays a major role in failure or success of the planned processes", it was observed
that all the leaders irrespective of transformational leadcrship characteristics, attributed less
towards external environmental factors, like legal constraints, high production dcmands
constraints, pressure for mecting the production targcts on time, ctc. Ile responses were almost
neutral, i. e., no strong view on either side, neither agree nor disagree, and the average response
range was between 2.45 to 3.18, as shown in question 3 of questionnaire section 2 (as Icadcr) and
smfion 3 (as follower) in table 6.46. However, transformational lcadcrs took more responsibity
for the causes of failure or success of the proccsses in their organisations as the overall average
score for the u=fonnational leadcrs was 2.38 for the question "I am responsible for the success
or failure in the processes in the organisation" and for non-transformational leaders the overall
average score was 2.08.

6.12 Data Analysis for Research Question 4:
For research question 4 Is clan culture the most common cultural cnvironmcnt crcatcd or existing in parallel with trans formational leadership?
Following the stcps of data analysis as shown in figure 5.4. The second stcp of the flow chail of figurc 5.4 was to collcct quantitativc data using the Camcron & Quinn Organisational Cultural
Asscssmcnt Instnimcnt (OCAI), shown in appcndix-L (Box 3 of figurc 5.4). Ibe OCAI consistcd
of six questions. Each question had four altcrnativcs/choices labelled A, B, C and D.
Rcspondents were asked to divide 100 points among these four alternatives, depending upon the
cxtcnt to which each alternative they think is appropriate for their organisation in order to be a
highly successful organisation. For example, in question 1, if they think alternative A is the most
appropriate for their organisation, alternative B and C arc somewhat appropriate, and alternative
D is hardly appropriate at all, they might give 55 points to A, 20 points to B and C, and 5 points
to D. However, they should be sure that their sum for all the alternative A. B, C, and D equals
100 for cach qucstion.
The following data was obtained from leaders of five manufacturing organisation, and analysed
using the Organisational Cultural Assessment Instrument OCAI procedure shown in figure 5.4.1

6.13 Results of Data Analysis for Research Question No. 4
From the organisational prorilcs obtained aflcr plotting the data from the leaders about
organisation culture as shown in figures 6.1 to figure 6.10 for organisation number I to
organisation number 5, it was observed that the organisational profilcs obtained for the Icadcrs
, with low trans formational leadership characteristics in organisation-1, organisation-2, and
organisation 4 were more oriented towards a market culture. Howcvcr, for organisation 3 and
organisation-5, leaders with low transformational leadership characteristics seem more oriented
towards an adhocracy culture. However, clan and hicrarchy culture arc prcscnt in the rcsponsc
plots in all five organisations.
Tbc organisational profile obtained for leaders with high transformational characteristics is more
towards a clan type culture in all five organisations, but on the average tile profilc doesn't
pro%idc a very clear picture, because the adhocracy, mark-ct, and hierarchy cultures arc also
prcscnt to somc extent. However, organisational cultural prorilc for organisation No. 4 and No. 5
is somewhat different than those of organisation No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 prorilc obtained from
jeadcrs, with high transformational leadership charactcristics. That is for organisation No. 4, it is
Morc towards the market culture, and for organisation No. 5 it is more towards the adhocracy
culture. The difference seems to arise from a difference in organisational owncrship. Ibc
organisations No. I to 3 were govcnunent owned organisations, organisation No. 4 was a private
company, and organisation No. 5 was a public limited organisation. This shows that
organisational, culture in governmcnt owned organisations created by transformational leaders is
a clan type due to more organisational hierarchy as compared to a privately owned organisation
with fewer organisational, hierarchical positions of management in their organisations. .
6.14 Chapter Summary
7be mcasurements obtained and the results obtained for each research question were as follows:
For Research Question 1: Do transformational leaders create a weak- situation for their followers in manufacturing organisations?
Results of the data obtained for research question No. I in phasc-1, i. e., qualitative data, indicate
that situation strength in manufacturing organisations is generally strong. For example proper
222
13chavioural Aspects of Transformational Lendership in Mnntiricttidng_Qr-p,,, inisitio-ns
rules and procedures exist in manufacturing organisations in some fonn or another, like
cxistcncc of standard code of conduct for employees, production or process spccification sheets,
quality assurance requirements procedures, and detailed parts or product drawing. When leadcrs
wcm asked about the amount of discretion they delegate to followers in performing their jobs,
when the situation strength is strong, it was observed that there is more frccdom for followers
from leaders with high or normal trans formational leadership characteristics as comparcd to
Icadcrs with low trans formati onal leadership characteristics. NVhcn the same responses were
sought in the quantitative data collection phase, the situation strength that leaders described in
their organisations was almost the same as strong which was described by them in phasc-I and
leaders generally prefer to have strict working discipline among followers, and leaders also
described that they had clear standards on praise and punishments. However, when leaders were
asked about setting clear goals for followers, it was observed after the quantitative data analysis,
that leaders with low transformational leadership charactcristics set more clear goals for
followers, than leaders with high or normal transformational leadership characteristics. It was
. also observed that leaders with low transformational leadership characteristics make decisions
thcm, sclvcs as compared to leaders with high or normal transformational leadership
characteristics, who delegate dccision-making to followers concerning their job performance.
Lcadcrs %vith low transformational leadership characteristics mark their choices more towards
closely monitoring their followers than leaders with high or normal transformational leadership
characteristics-
For Research Question 2: Do transformational leaders make internal attributions for the cause of poor performance in manufacturing organisations?
Data analysis of phase-I (qualitative data) showed that leaders with high or normal
U=formational leadership characteristics attribute the causes of poor performance more toward
external factors, i. e., towards excessive machine break down or tool break- downs, material
inventory problems, technical problems or delays in procurement processes. They described their
followers as hard working. However, data analysis of phasc-11 (quantitative data) showed a slight
difference between the responses of leaders with high, low, or normal trans formational
leadership characteristics. Leaders with high or normal trans formational leadership
characteristics attributed a little less towards the causes of poor performance to internal factors,
th, an leaders with low transformational leadership charactcristics. Leaders responses towards the
223

NI,
cxtcmal environment for the causes of poor performance, is almost in the same mngc i. e., 2.5 to
2.7. that is, they were not sure that it may be or may not be tile cause of poor pcrfoniiancc. Whcn
the leaders wcrc askcd about whcthcr thcy think that tlicy arc responsible for the causcs of poor
pcrforTnancc, lcadcrs with high or normal transformational Icadcrship charactcristics showcd a
morc positivc rcsponse than Icadcrs with low transformational leadcrship charactcristics.
For research question number 3: Do trans formational leaders seek more fccdback from their followers than non-transformational leaders in manufacturing organisations?
From the data analysis for research question number 3 it was noted that, leadcrs with high
transformational leadership characteristics, prefer to directly discuss with followers the progress
of the job done or had close contact with their followers. However, leaders with a low score on
t]hc trwisfonnational leadership scale prefer to get feedback through daily production reports
instead of direct contact with followers. For leaders with nonnal score on the transfonnational
leadcrship scalc, it is a mix of both directly and indirectly getting feedback through followas, as
. wcll as through review production reports or review production targcts.
For research question 4 Is clan culture the most common cultural environment created or existing in parallel with transformational leadership?
Frorn the organisational. profiles obtained after plotting the data from leaders about organisation
Culwre, it was noted that the organisational. profile obtained for the leadcrs with low
tr. uu formational leadership characteristics was more oriented towards a market culture for
go, vernment owned organisations. However, in private or public owned organisations, leaders
uith low transformational leadership characteristics, seem more oriented to an adhocracy culture.
H, Owcvcr, clan and hicrarchy culture were also present but the dominant culture was more
towards adhocracy. -Ibe organisational profile obtained for leaders with high trans formational ch=ctcristics was
directed more towards a clan culture in all the five organisations. But on average the profilc
doesn't a give very clear picture, because adhocracy, market, and hicrarchy culture arc also
prcsMt to some extent. However, the organisational cultural profilc for govcnuncnt owned and
private or public limited organisations was somewhat different from the leaders with high
transformational leadership characteristics. The private organisation is more biased towards the
muk-ct culture, and the public limited organisation more towards adliocracy culture.

Chapter 7 Discussion
7.1 Introduction
The aim of this research was to examine transformational lcadcrsliip in manuracturing
organisations in Pakistan with special emphasis on bchavioural aspect of
transformational Icadcrship and to find about the psychological substructure, the
internal world of transformational leaders, namcly what "makes them tick", and how
they developed this way, Popper & Mayscless (2DO2). Kark & Shamir (2002) have
also stated, 'research on trans formational leadership has not fully cxplorcd the
question of what are the underlying processes and mechanisms by which
trans formational leaders exert influence on followers and ultimatcly an pcrformancc. Judge and Bono (2000) highlighted 'Even if one considers trans formational Icadcrship
to be a behavioural theory, the origins of the behaviours, are unclear. ' In doing so,
situational determinants were identified from the literature and research questions
were formulated in chapter 3.
Recent research was conducted by Scarborough (2001 & 2002); on transforming
leadership in the manufacturing industry, in which she studied the factors that
influence decision-making and actions of transforming moral leaders. She attempted
to illuminate the way seven selected industrial leaders lead their lives for the purpose
of gaining a better understanding of transforming leaders in the U. S. manufacturing
sector. Her findings concluded that transformational leaders have managed to either
(a) take a failing company and turn it into a successful business vcnturc; or (b) change
the culture from a dictatorship to one of a participative management, team of
collaborative leadership, ctc. She concluded that, the factors that seem to play crucial
roles in the transforming leaders decision-making processes, and actions, arc clearly
morals, ethics, and a serious concern for their employ=, customers, suppliers, and
the community. 71cy exhibit a conscious cffort to do the right thing, and the sincere
desire to treat people fairly, respectfully, to develop them, challenge them, expand
their potential, and provide a good healthy, stimulating Working environment and
climate. She further concluded that transformational leaders undcrstand and clearly
indicated in their own way that they are not morally perfect. llowcvcr. the dcpdi of
their conviction was obvious and was also confirmed by their colleagues. T'hey have
226
what seems to be a dccp and genuine appreciation and rcspect for the people they
work with, and seem to be able to balancc the dcmands of a complex and turbulcnt business cnvironmcnt with their responsibility for their cmployccs health and wcll bcing. Ibcy also believe that it is their moral duty to do tile right thing for all involved, including the community.
For this research to study transformational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing
organisations, the literature on organisational leadership reveals that organisational leadership literature discussed by prominent scholars of organisational leadership
(Bass, Yukl, Curphy ctc) was mostly concerned with situation or contingency theories,
attribution theory, or the awareness of leaders about their actions or feedback and
organisational culture. This research included all of these four situational dctcrininants
to study trans formational leaders behaviour in Pakistani manufacturing organisations.
The research was a learning voyage to study transformational Icadcrship in
manufacturing organisations, and the findings of the research arc stated in the form of hypotheses that need to be further tested in awide range of industries and countries if
they arc to be fully gcnemlised. However, in this rcscarch the researcher has opened
the debate and investigated the situational determinants and their influcncc on
leadership in depth in one particular country. The hypotheses arc stated primarily to
act as a catalyst for more international research aimed at broadening the investigation.
In this in-depth study in Pakistan, data was collected using the mixed method
approach defined by Creswcl, (2003) from the five manufacturing organisations and
analysed by qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis as described by Fink
(2003).
in this study in order to identify transformational Icadcrs in the manufacturing
organisations, we used the tool developed by Podsak-off ct at (1990); the 23-itcm
rneasurc of transformational leadership (transformational leadership inventory)
questionnaire. Podaskoff ct at (1990), reviewed the leadership litcraturc and idcntiried
high performance expectations, intellectual stimulation, individualized support,
fostering the acceptance of group goals, role modelling, and identifying and
articulating a vision (the item content of the lattcr five are subsumed within Bass's
three transformational sub factors) as the key behaviours of transformational leaders.
227
This tool is very well validated and extensively used in recent research projects. Substantially and similar to Farh & Clicng (1999) we used Podsak-off ct al (1990)
conccptualisation of transformational leadership because it is bchavioumlly oriented,
well validated, and has been used in both North American and Chinese cultures. This
instrument has been used recently by several researchers to measure transformational
leadership characteristics, for example, Pillai and Willams (1998), Pillai, William,
Lowe, and Jung (2003), Parry (2002), and Sprcitzcr ct al (2005). Howcvcr, the
jAultifactor Leadership Questionnaire (hILQ), which was developed by Bass and
Avolio (1990), appears to assess a unique set of very senior people that occupy
leadership roles, and therefore may have a distinct limited set applicability. Tracy
(1998) stated that MLQ is more applicable for identifying the development needs of
leaders at the top of the organisational hierarchy.
This study was aimed at leaders from the level of supervisor to the top management
to study transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations in Pakistan. It
made the assumption that leadership can be exercised by any organisation member
that has followers and at any position in the organisation. Therefore we preferred to
use the Podsakoff et al (1990) transformational leadership inventory questionnaire.
This questionnaire was designed to measure six key dimensions of transformational
leadership that have been identified in the research literature (Bass, 1985; Bennis &
Nanus, 1985; Bradford & Cohen, 1984; Congcr & Kanungo, 1987; House, 1977;
Kouzes & Posner, 1987; Tichy & DeVanna, 1986). Podsak-off ct al. 's study is the only
one that has empirically cx=incd the scald's propcrties, Podsak-off, MacKcnzic, and
Bommer (1996).
To find the answers to the research questions posed in chapter 3, data was collected in
two phases from five manufacturing organisations in Pakistan. The first phase
consisted of personal interviewing of manufacturing leaders (as qualitative data) to
On primarily broad descriptive knowledge about the research questions. 71he second
phase consisted of collecting quantitative data using a designed questionnaire for
situational and attributional aspects of leadership, and the Organisational Cultural
Assessment Instrument (OCAI) tool developed by Camcron & Quinn (1999) for
measuring organisation culture and then to judge its influence upon trans formati onal
228
Behavioural Aspscts of Trans formal iongl IsadenhipiriMang ractufl ng Organisatiom
leadership. Ilic data analysis stage provided a picture of transformational leaders
behaviour in the fivc manufacturing organisations, which were used in this study. All
rcspondcnis were approached after seeking proper permission from the top
management to gather data and an introductory letter from the researcher's supervisor,
therefore the respondents were well aware of the purpose of data gathering and they
rc"nded enthusiastically to the researcher. The cffcct of researcher bias was
minimiscd in terms of data collection by asking the leaders to respond to the
questionnaire in as near a normal manncr as possible and in a way that they believed
was appropriate. They were told that there were no right or wrong answers to any
question (in the qualitative survey) or to the questionnaire (in the quantitative survey).
Leaders responses were noted on the contact summary sheet for the qualitative phase
(Phasc-1), as described by Miles & Hubcrman (1984). On the contact summary sheet,
leaders were assigned numbers by the rcscarchcr to rccognisc them, as well as
recording details of the organisation, place, date & time of interview. In addition, on
the contact summary sheet, the researcher noted the leaders responses to the questions
asked. Ilese interviews were analysed following the steps of interview analysis by
Fink (2003). The procedure described by Fink for interview analysis was found
appropriate when the respondents were reluctant to allow recording of the intcrvicws
due to confidentiality requirements of the organisations, and to keep themselves
anonymous. Therefore no rccording is available for use by computer softwarc to
analyse the interview. However responses were noted on contact summary sheets as
described by Miles & Hubcrman (1984) which can be analysed manually by interview
analysis procedure described by Fink (2003).
In the following paragraphs, the findings to the research questions from the data
analysis, %vill be discussed Nvith reference to the literature; cffcctivcncss of the analysis
techniques, significance of the results and limitations of the research.
7.2 Transformational leadership and Situation Strength:
Until now, there has not been much research or related literature for the relationship
bctwccn situation strcngth and transformational Icadcrship, i. c., trans formational
leadcrs' bchaviour widi rcspect to situation strcngtli. Ilowcvcr, tlicrc is litcraturc
229
13chavioural AWscts of Trans fb=tion3lLLcadcrshinJa M anu factuflng Organisations
available independently on both situation strength and trans rormational leadership.
According to Bass (1985) and Avolio & Bass (1988), transrormational leaders elevate
the dcsircs of followers for achievement and self-dcvclopmcnt, whilst also promoting
the development of groups and organisations. Instead of responding to die immcdiate
self-interest of followers with cithcr a carrot or a stick, transformational leaders arouse
in the individual a hcightcned awareness of key issues, of the group and organisation,
while increasing the confidence of followers, and gradually moving them fmm
concerns for existence to concerns for achievement, growth and development. Such
leaders exhibit idcalized influcncc (charisma), individualized consideration,
intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation.
The first researcher that formally rccognised the importance of the leader, follower,
and situation in the leadership process was Fred Fiedler (1967) with his contingency
model of leadership. He argued that the situation may be the most ambiguous aspect
of leadership, and that the nature of task, the work setting, presence of formal rules
and regulations are a few of the situational variables that can affect the leadership
process. The situation can constrain or facilitate a leader's action and leaders can
change different aspects of situation in order to be more cffective (Hughes, Ginnctt, &-
Curphy 1993). Ile concept of situation strength has been used to study the cfTcct of
various concepts of the leadership behaviour (Carpenter, Golden, 1997, Mullins, &
Cunimings, 1999, Carpenter, Fredrickson, 2001). A framework of situational strength
by Nlischcl (1977) is described as, strong situations in which most actors construe the
situation in the same way, most draw similar conclusions as to appropriate responses,
and most are motivated and able to respond. In strong situations, the situation itself
provides incentives to make the appropriate response, and the necessary skills to
respond arc present in most individuals. Mischcl argues that in strong situations, but
not weak ones, situational factors dominate individual differences in determining the
decision maker's course of action. Conversely, hiischcl defines weak- situations as
those in which there is ambiguity about the meaning of the situation and the
appropriateness of various responses, where incentives for any particular response arc
unclear, and where individuals' ability to respond may vary. According to Misclicl,
individual differences play a more significant role in such situations, sincc no clear
directions are provided by the situation (Misclicl, 1977).
230
Situational constraints defined by Yukl (1998) were bureaucratic rules, policies,
regulations, and labour laws that must be observed. In addition, the technology used to
do the work constrains the options for how the work will be done.
In this research, situation strength in manufacturing organisations is described as
strong if there were significant rules and regulations, process sheets and policies,
together with clear and strict instructions about procedures to follow. I'lic procedures
and process sheets used in the manufacturing organisations arc meant to prescribe how
to do a job properly and to ensure all operations arc performed as required for
completing the job. This may be an attempt by the organisation to achieve a strong
situation. However, even in this situation there is still some ambiguity since the individual probably, depending upon personality, does not have to follow these
procedures. This situation can however be strengthened if the organisation applies
sanctions to the individual if they do not apply the procedures. The leader of the group is usually the one that applies the sanctions if the procedurcs arc not followed so it
was considered valid to determine the judgment of the leader conccming the amount
of discretion and their attitude towards the application of these procedures. Leaders
generally give some discretion to followers, but the assumption is that, the leaders
way of giving discretion depends upon their leadership style. Ficdlcr's (1973) research
concluded that task-oricntcd leaders perform best in situations that arc very favourablc
or unfavourablc, while peoplc-oricntcd leaders perform best in situations of intermediate favourablcness. Ilis is a contingency if-thcn approach (if certain
conditions exist, then a certain leadcrsWp style is best). The situational approach
merely states that the most appropriate style depends upon the situation. It does not
attempt to specify if-thcn conditions. For cxample, transactional leadership focuses on
setting standards and either passively waits for mistakes to occur before taking action
(in its passive form) or (in its active form) closely monitors the occurrence of any
mistake. In either its passive or active form, it focuses on identifying mistakes, Bass &
Avolio (1997).
The findings from primary data collcctcd in pliasc-1, from manufacturing leaders,
show that situation strength in all of the manufacturing organisations used in the
sarnpic was strong. RuIcs and procedurcs wcrc wcll documcntcd, proccss shccts and
231
Behavioural AsMcts of Trans formal ional Leadaship-inlianufacturing Olganisatiom
detailed drawings were available, and any changes that might have been required from
time to time were incorporated accordingly and rccordcd on process sheds. A
standard code of conduct, and quality assurance rcquircmcnts wcrc available in those
manufacturing organisations. This is interpreted as meaning that the organisations
were attcmpting to create a strong situation. However, this issue is an assumption. For
cxampic the fact that there were procedures and rules may just mean that the risk of
task error was significant and the firm had to define and control these risks. 11iis is
generally done in manufacturing organisations, whcrc the conscqucnccs of crror are
vcry serious. Therefore, I think that generally the situation strength in manufacturing
organisations is strong. I judged whether the leaders wcrc intcrprcting this in a way
that was giving little discretion and more control or alternatively were giving the
people as much discretion as possible within the limit of the rules. In this study, when
the leaders were asked whether they favourcd discretion for dicir followcrs, (as shown
in table 6.10) the answer was more positive from transformational leaders than from
non-transformational leaders. A significant amount of rcscarch on leadership
behaviour has focused on discretion. Discretion implies that the followers can make
many decisions themselves about what, how and perhaps whcn they intcrprct and
complete their tasks. Studies examining the relationship between the extent of
discretion and performance have found a positive correlation between the two factors
03auer and Green 1996; Peters and NVatcrman 1982; Schricshcim, Ncidcr, and
Scandura. 1998), although the direction of causality has not been well established by
these studies. Discretion to followers can offer various advantages to leaders. YukI
and Fu (1999) surveyed managers to identify reasons why they give discretion to
followers. Among the most important reasons for favouring discrction were to develop
follower skills and confidence, to enable followers to deal with problems more
quickly, and to improve decisions by moving them closer to the action. Some
implementation scholars writing from a bottom-up perspective have argued that giving
greater discretion to followers contributes to successrul implementation of policies
and programs (Berman 1980; Hjcm 1982; Majone and Wildavsky 1979).
With regards to the question of whether non-transformational leaders do not favour or
rcducc discretion to their followers. It was observed in the data analysis of phasc-1, as
shown in category No. 3 of table 6.7, table 6.8 and table 6.9 about giving discrction to
232
followers, that trans formati onal lcadcrs favour more discretion to followas than
leadcrs with low transformational lcadcrship characteristics (17 out of 23
trans formational leaders favour discretion to followers). It was also notcd in the data
analysis of phasc-II, that transformational Icadcrs delegate more decision making to
followers (3.31 compared to 2.42 on Likcrt scale of I to 5) than lcadcrs with low
trans formational Icadership charactcristics; as shown in question No. 5, section 2A of
table No. 6.45.
A summary of situational variables, derined after intcrvic%%, s of manuracturing leaders
and study of manufacturing organisations, are dcrined as strong and weak- is shown in
table 3.1. In the table 3.1, rules and procedures are dcrincd as an indicator of a strong
situation as they are meant to describe how a job is to be done or they provide the
guidelines for the performance of the jobs, which has to be followed by all the
individuals concerned. Rules and procedures which were assumcd for dcrining a
strong situation in a manufacturing organisation. consisted of, presence of detailed
pro, ccss sheets and parts drawings; presence of detailed quality assurance procedures;
presence of employees code of conduct, and daily production targcts; requirements.
However, in case of the non- availability of these doc=cnts the situation was
considered weak in a manufacturing organisation. In a strong situation, individuals
have low discretion in decision-mak-ing, and they follow the rules and rcgulations. By
having rules and regulations there is an implication that the organisation wants to
create a strong situation that perhaps provides a guarantee of performance. Howcvcr,
people may not follow the procedures. I judged whether people would follow the
pro, ccdurcs from their attitude and beliefs about the procedures and deduced whether
they favoured low or high discretion from their conversation, ror example as noted in
responses of leaders numbers 14,23,33 9, and 18 shown below.
According to the leaders, they created a weak- situation for their followers even if the
situational strength of the Organisation was strong. Hence, cvcn though the
Organisation had set out rules and regulations for the employees to follow and the shop
floor had been provided with drawings and process sheets, the leaders had given the
followers discretion to deviate from the standard processes if it helped them to do their
jobs. The leaders said that they were more concerned with the end results than with
233
Ilchavioural Aspccts of Transformationil Itadcrshiplialanufacturin Organisation
the processes implemented to achieve the results (e. g., Icadcr No. 14 as described
bclow). Ilowcvcr, the amount of discrction givcn diffcrcd for cach leadcr, wlictlicr trans forrnational or not. Somc of the vicws cxprcsscd by the lcadcrs wcre as follows:
"'I ant of the opinion of givingfull discretion tofollou-crs and give thent a chance to
pcrform thejob as to suit thent and their way, but there will be no compromise on the
quality of the product. " - Leader no: 14 (leader with high scorc on trans fonnational
Icadcrship characteristics scale)
"Aly organisation has a strong situation. I give discretion to my followers in
performing their jobs and look at the end result... "- Leader no: 23. (Lcadcr with
normal score on transformational leadership characteristics scale)
- Our factory has a strong situation. Processes and standards are predetcnnined,
quality assurance requirements arc aivilable, and draivings of the parts arc available
to the people on the shop floor. I balance in giving discretion to follon-crs in doing
their jobs. I give discretion to my folloivers, in doing their jobs as they feel
, comfortable doing it, and don't ask thent it-hy they have deviatedfront the standard
procedures ifit doesn't affect the quality orproduction targets to be achincd" Lcadcr
no: 33 (leader with high score on transformational leadership characteristics scale)
NVhcn comparing these results with the views of the sample of 10 leaders who have
shown the most non-transformational behaviour. It was observed as shown in code
No. 5, of table 6.8 i. e., giving no discretion to followers, that non-transformational
leaders (7 out of 10 non-transformational leaders) prefer to work in strong situations
and to create a strong situation for their followers without giving them any discretion
or limited discretion. Some of the views of non-transformational leaders in this study
arc as follows:
-I am of the opinion thatfollowers should not be given discretion in doing theirjobs,
because they mayfeel relaxed and thus could affect the production targets and quality
of the products. Aly organisation has a strong situation. Processes arc defined and

(leader with low score on transformational leadership characteristics scale)
"Ifle have a strong situation in ourfactory, detailcdproccss shccts and draivings are

proper procedures and processes should be follou-cd strictly and I don "t allow nly follou-crs to deviatefrom the standard procedlircs.,, - Leader no: 18 (leader with low
score on transformational leadership characteristics scale)
In table 3.1 goal sctting/targcts achieving is described as a strong situation because
when the goals/targcts arc defined then the organisation is dcfIning what it wants
people to do. However as described by Locke & Latham, (1990) when goals/targcts
arc set with the involvement of followers, there is an increased commitment of
followers and they can exercise some discretion in targct/goal setting.
The question arouse concerning of validity of the leaders responses; that what the
leaders said they actually do, and whether the situation strength they described in their
organisations was strong or weak- To vcrify the leaders responses, I checked the
presence of procedures that indicate that the organisation was attempting to achieve a
strong situation. Then I talked to the followers and judged whether the leaders were
interpreting the procedures in such a way that they were enforcing the procedures and
controlling discretion to followers. Some of the comments by followers about their
leader favouring discretion are cited here:
"'Afy leader is more concerned about the quality ofjob, and he gAw me discretion in
the pcrfomance of the job. For example. if some operation of a job is required in a
sequence as per process, but ifI would like to perform it in other sequence on my own
convcnicnce but it doesn't effect the quality of the product, my leader doesn't bother
about it, or a time taken to complete a job. " (Follower of a transformational Leader
No. 33).
235

"Aly leader gives discretion in doing my job regarding 1101v it should be performed. 11c assign thejob, and check it at the completion of thojob. it doesnt inatter to hint
how thejob was done, if the quality of thejob done is good, he appreciate. hosvewr (f
the quality is not good he looks at the cause of poor quality and take action as
necessary. " (Follower of a transformational leader No. 23).
Followcrs of transformational leadcrs dcscribed that tlicir Icadcrs arc morc focuscd on
the end results of the job done, and quality of the job done, they give discrction in the
performance of the job, and it doesn't matter to them how die job was pcrformcd or
the amount of time taken to perform that job.
From the data analysis obtained during phasc-II (quantitative data), which was aimed
at getting a clearer picture about situational strength and trans rormational leadership,
the leaders were asked more questions. Leaders were asked to rate their choices in two
separate sections of the questionnaire (shown in appcndix-F), where section 2,
corresponds to rate their choice as a leader, and section 3 corresponds to rate their
choice as a follower (from middle and lower management leaders). Howcvcr, leaders
at the top position of the organisation need to respond to section 2 only of the
questionnaire. The questionnaire used consisted of choices using Likcrt scale I to 5,
where 5 indicates that most of the time they cmphasise that choice, and I indicates
that they don't emphasise that choice at all. Ile neutral score of the scale was 3 i. e.,
sometimes they emphasise that choice and sometimes not. Ile score more than 3 was
considered as an agreement to the question asked from the respondent and score less
than 3 was considered a disagreement to the question asked of the respondent.
Data analysis of phase-If, indicated that 43 out of 76 leaders whose score were more
towards transformational leadership characteristics, trans formati onal lcadcrS set less
clear goals as compared to non-transformational leaders as shown in question No. 4 of
section 2A of table 6.45. The researcher assumption is that setting clear goals for
followers refer to strong situation, that followers have to complete a certain targct, or
to complete a particularjob on time, by following the standard procedures. As pointed
by Curphy ct al (1993), goal setting is probably the most familiar and easiest formal
system of motivation to use with followers. From the leader's perspective, it involves
236
13chavioural Aspccts of Trans fo=tionaLLcadcrshia iri-Manufacturing Orgmisationi
presenting followers with some future end state (a goal) and convincing them they
can achieve it if they exert cffort towards it. According to Lockc and Latham, (1990)
goals arc the most powerful determinants of task behaviour. Goals serve to direct
attention, mobilize effort, help follower continue exerting cffort until the goal is
reached. Lockc and Latham (1990) reported that nearly 400 studies across individuals,
groups, and organisations in eight different countries have provided consistent support
for several aspects of goal setting. First, goals that were both spcciric and difficult
resulted in consistently higher cffort and performance when contrasted to "do your
bcsf' goals. Second, goal commitment is critical. Nicrcly having goals is not enough.
Although follower participation in setting goals is one way to increase commitmcnt,
goals set either by leaders unilaterally or through participation with the follower can
lead to necessary levels of commitment. Commitment to assigned goals was often as
high as those goals followers helped to sc4 provided the leaders were perceived to
have legitimate authority, expressed confidence in followers' and provided clear
standards for performance. Third, followers exerted the greatest cffort when goals
were accomplished by fccdback, followers getting goals or feedback alone generally
exerted less cffort. However, transformational leadership dcrinition described by Bass
& Avolio, that the transformational leader's role is to motivate followers to perform
beyond expectations. If goals are dcfincd, followers may be able to achieve the
targets, but after achieving the targets, followers may not perform beyond the leaders
cxpectations. By setting clear goals for followers, performance beyond expectations
may not be expected. However, giving discretion to followers in the performance of
their jobs and involving followers in setting goals for them can increase their
performance beyond expectations and thus followers may perform beyond targets.
Findings from data analysis of phase-11, as shown in table 6.45 question number 4 of
section 2(A) show that trans formational leaders set less clear goals for their followers
as compared to non-u=formafional leaders in achieving the targets, and giving followers discretion in performance of thcirjobs. This shows that giving discretion by
transformational leaders to followers in performance of their jobs, transformational
leaders expect that their followers can achieve the targets, and can even perform
beyond achieving the targets. That is one characteristics of transformational leaders as
defined by Bass (1998), that transformational leader's role is to motivate followers to
perform beyond expectations. The setting of less clear goals for followers by
237
Behavioural Aspects of Transfomition3l Leadershipinlianufacluring Organisadons
trans fonnational leaders seems to be one of the hidden behaviour of transformational
leaders that cncouragcs followers to perform at their best. However, when goals arc
set in consultation with followers, which increase the commitment of followers to
achieve goals, and followers feel confidcnt in achieving the goals, the goal setting
with involvement of followers may increase performance, Locke & Latharn (1990).
llowcvcr, when leaders were asked to rate their choice on scction 3 of the
questionnaire considering themselves as followers, on the same question "setting clear
goale'. most of the followers described their immediate leaders as setting clear goals
for them as "sometimes". There is an interpretation of follower's responses about their
leader as "'sometimes", that it depends upon the nature of tile job or urgency of the job
required such that the leader set clear goals for the followers, when the job is urgently
required to be completed by a particular time. Otherwise, in normal circumstances,
leaders give their followers discretion in performing thcirjobs.
it was also observed from data analysis during phase-11, that leaders arc generally
more concerned about the working discipline among followers. Most of the leaders
(irrespective of transformational leadership characteristics) cmphasisc strict working discipline among followers. The assumption for derining working discipline in a
manufacturing enviroruncnt refers to the following orsafcty instructions, use of proper
safety equipment, and follower's behaviour towards their colleagues. Ile question of
working discipline was asked of leaders, because, when favouring discretion to
followers, transformational leaders may ignore disciplinary requirements which the
organisation may impose on the followers while performing their jobs. However, the
findings support the idea that trans formational leaders favour discretion to followers
within the limits of disciplinary requirements of the organisation's rules and
regulations. Results show that transformational leaders emphasisc the same as other leaders about working discipline among followers as shown in table No. 6.46 question
number I of section 2(A). According to Arvcy & Ivancevich (1980) when describing
working discipline among followers, cmphasised how leaders should explain rules and
requirements to followers and ensure that followers understand the serious
consequences of violations. Further they said that leaders should (except for the most
serious infractions) provide sufficient oral and written warnings before resorting to
238
punishment. Schocn & Durand (1979) stated that leaders use punishments that arc legitimate, fair, and commensurate with the seriousness of the itirraction.
To look into the bchaviours of transformational leaders in manufacturing
organisations, leaders were asked about their opinion on praise and punishment
criteria for followers. The assumption for asking about standards on praise and
punishment is whether there would be fairness and die same criteria used for the
followers for their job done for its evaluation, and that thcrc existed tile same
punishment or rewards for the followers for anyjob done irrespective of any liking or disliking of individual followers by their leaders. From the data analysis of responses, it was observed as shown in question No. 2 section 2A of table 6.46 that,
trans formational leaders cmphasisc praise more than non-transformational leaders.
However this difference is not too high. This was verified from die followers of the
transformational leaders that their leaders placed greater emphasis on praise and less
on punishment. The researcher assumption for praise and punishment is that, some
leaders have different standards for praise and punishment, and praise and punishment
criteria may depend on liking or disliking of the follower by the leader. A job done by
a follower, who is more liked by the leader, may get more praise than the same job
done by a follower, who is disliked by the same leader. Dobbins and Russell (1986a)
stated that leaders were more inclined to punish and conduct performance counselling
to a disliked follower than they do with a liked follower. They further described that
leaders were more inclined to attribute poor performance to internal factors when the
follower was disliked, rather than the follower who was liked. Dobbins and Russell
(1986a) findings supported by Turban ct al (1990) that a supervisor's liking for a
follower positively influences the treatment of the follower and also evaluations of the
follower's work' performance.
To explore further about the discretion given to followers by the leaders in doing their
jobs, leaders were asked whether they make decisions themselves or delegate decision
maldng to followers. T'he assumption in asking this qucstion is that, if leaders delegate
decision making to followers, this means that they arc giving them discretion to makc
decisions. it was found from the analysis of results of this question that, leaders widi
high or normal transformational leadership characteristics, delegate more decision
239
Behavioural Asrats of Trans fonnational Leadorshi2in-Manufacturing Organisations
making (35% morc) to followas than lcadcrs with low tmnsrormational lcadcrship
ch=ctcristics as also shown in table 6.45 question number 5 section 2(A)
According to Bass (1990), delegation implies that one has been cmpowcrcd by one"s leader to take responsibility for completing certain tasks or engaging in certain
activities. According to Lcana (1986), delegation gives the responsibility for decisions
to those individuals most likely to be affected by or to implement the decision, and delegation is more concerned w-ith autonomy. responsibility, and follower
development. Further Curphy ct al (1993) stated that delegating significant, tasks to
followers is one of the best ways for follower's development skills. It does so by
providing opportunities for initiative, problem solving, innovation, administration, and decision-making. By providing practical experience in a controlled fashion, delegation
allows followers the best training experience for skill development. One of the
t=formational leadership components as described by Bass (1985) is individualized
consideration, or leadership by developing people. This rcfcrs to the care that the
leader shows towards followers about their development, and about them as
individuals. The leader is alert to follower's needs, provides challenges and learning
opportunities and delegates to raise their skill and conridcncc. The result is that
followers are more likely to be willing to develop competence and take initiative.
Results of data analysis as shown in table 6.46 of question 5 section 2(A) show that
tr=formational leaders delegate more decision-mak-ing to their followers than non-
transformational leaders, and they favour delegation to their followers in decision-
making.
Another question concerning the favouring of discretion by leaders to followers in a
manufacturing environment was whether leaders closely monitor their followers or
control their followers in what they actually do. Tle assumption in this question was
that leaders', who do not provide or encourage discretion for their followers, would
closely monitor their followers or control flicir followers. Ilowcvcr, leaders who
favour discretion to followers will not closely monitor them and will give them a free
hand in the performance of their jobs, howcvcr they would monitor the outputs. Yukl
(1994) separated monitoring into two forms: involves collecting inform: ition about
240
operations of the leader's organisational unit, which he tcrmcd internal monitoring,
and inrormation gathering about relevant events in the larger organisation and the
cxtcmal cnvironmcnt which lie tcrmcd cxtcmal monitoring. Monitoring is usually
concerned with getting information needed to evaluate the progress of the work, the
performance of individual follower and, the quality of product. YukI (1994) obscrvcd
that, there is some evidence that internal monitoring affccts pcrrorinancc dircctly. In a laboratory experiment, Larson and Callahan (1990) found that performance increased
on a task that was monitored closely but not on a task for which there was little
monitoring. In observational research, Komaka (1986) found in one study that
managers who did more monitoring were more effective. llowcvcr from the results of data analysis as shown in table 6.46 of question 6 section 2(A), it was obscrvcd that leadcrs, %vith a low score on the trans rormational leadership scale closely monitor their
followers significantly more than transformational leaders. However, leaders with high or normal score on the transformational leadership scale give more freedom to
rollowcrs; in doing their jobs and, they don't emphasis close monitoring of their
followers. In general, the appropriate degree of internal monitoring will depend on the
compctcnce of the follower and the nature or the work More frequent monitoring is
needed when followers are inexperienced, when the tasks of followers arc highly
interdependent and require close coordination, and when disruption in the work flow
is likely due to equipment breakdowns, accidents, material shortages and so forth.
From the above discussion, the answers to the research question No. I sccm to be
positive based on research results as shown in table 6.11 and section 2A and section
3A of table 6.46. The indication that transformational leaders create a weak- situation
for their followers in manufacturing organisations. Transformational leaders favour
discretion to followers by setting less clear goals and delegating decision making to
followers to build confidence, which can help to facilitate job performancc, %vithout
compromising the quality of the product. However, they do not compromise on
working discipline among followers as sho%%n in question No. I section 2A of table
6.46. From the data analysis it was found that transformational leaders look at the end
results and they don't keep monitoring followers all the time. Instead, they give
freedom to followers to think how a job can be improved or performed in a better

The study thus showcd that, transformational Icadcrs tcnd to crcatc a Wcak- situation

Thcrcfore from the results of data analysis, hypothesis-I (111) can be statcd as:
III: Transformational leaders tend to create a weak sl(ua(lon for their
followers In performing jobs In manufacturing organisations.
Tbc results of data analysis arc stated in the form of a hypothesis. It can be used as a
guiding principic for the leaders in manufacturing organisations about how to lead
their followers cffcctivcly. It could also be helpful for those personnel who arc
cngaged in leadership development progranuncs for training leadership
characteristics.
7.3 Transformational Leadership and Attribution Theory
To look into bchaviours; of transformational leaders and the attributions they made
about the causes of poor performance in manufacturing organisations, data was
collected from the leaders of five manufacturing organisations; used in the sample. As
it, was pointed by Levine & Moreland (1990) attribution was most active as an area of
organisational behaviour research in the 1980s, and the importance of the role of
attribution theory in organisational. settings was further cmphasised in 1%lartinko
(1995a). Recently, there has been a rcsurgcnce of research based on attribution theory.
A further unexplored area that is beginning to attract attention is the role of attribution
in motivation, Martinko (1995b); Weiner (2000).
in this research data was collected in two phases. Phase-I was aimed at gating
qualitative data by personal intcrvic%ving of manufacturing leaders, and phase-11 was
concerned with collecting quantitative data from the same leadcrs as used in phasc-1,
to verify and to gain further in-depth knowledge about the attributions made by
leaders in manufacturing organisations.
242
In phasc-1 of qualitative data analysis, from a sample of 50 leaders. 23 leaders had the
scores to be tcnncd as transformational on the basis of Podsakoff ct al (1990)
questionnaire. When these leaders were interviewed to get information about the
causes of poor performance, it was observed that 21 out of 23 trans rormational
leaders, attributed the causes of poor performance to external factors, i. e., material
supply problems, material quality problems, excessive tool break do%%ms, or power
failures.
According to the leaders, their followers were hard working and took interest in
performing their jobs, but due to unforeseen circumstances, for example, machines
break- down or material problems, sometimes they have to face poor performance.
Tbcsc leaders said that the major causes of poor performance were material quality
problems, material inventory problems, and machine break- downs. Some of the views
expressed by the leaders were as follows:
-Afy followers are hard working and efficient, the causes of poor performance are
most of the time excessive machines break doum, or matcrial inivitory
problems ............ Leader No. 14 (leader with high score on trans fonnational
leadership scale)
- Causes ofpoor perfomiance in my section areý dclays in procurcment process. as
material has to be imporicdfrom foreign countries, and delays occur its shipment or
customs clearance, as well as sometimes due to majorfaults occur in madline. for
u, hich rgplacement parts arc not available in country. and dclays occur... " Lxadcr
No. 48 (leader with normal score transformational leadership scale)
In phase-I of the qualitative data analysis, 30% of the leaders with high
transfonnational leadership charactcristics, attributed the causes of poor performance
cither to the follower's lack of interest in pcrfonning their jobs, or due to
inexperienced followers (internal attribution) as shown in table 6.18. NVhcreas 80% of
leaders with low transfon-national leadership characteristics attribute die causes of
poor perfonnance either to followers having a lack of intcrest in pcrfonning flicirjobs,
or due to inexperienced followers (intcmal attribution). Ilowcvcr 50% leadcrs %rith
high transfonnational leadership charactcristics and 58% %%ith nonnal Icadcrship
243
Behavioural Asnccts of Tr3nsfonwtionALc3dcrshiV JaManufacluting Organintions
characteristics attributed causes of poor pcrformancc either to machines break- down
or tool break down (external attribution) and only 10% leaders with low
transformational Icadcrship characteristics attributed the causes of poor pcrronnancc
to cithcr machines break down or tool break- downs (external attribution). With rcspcct
to the nature of the jobs of low trans form ational leaders, they were mostly shop floor
leaders concerned with manufacturing operations or assembly operations, and leaders
%%ith high trans fort-national leadership characteristics were mostly from higher
management hierarchy, i. e., General managers, Deputy General Nianagcr, Officcrs-in-
chargers or Managers and some shop floor supervisors too.
To verify the leader's responses about the attribution they made for the causes of poor
performance, the researcher furthcr investigated the causes of poor performance.
Leaders who said that their followers took less intcrcst in doing thcirjobs, or they arc
inexperienced, were examined by the researcher, and it was found that some followers
had a bad record of explanations or warnings issued to them by their leadcrs, and
some were newly appointed followers with less than one years cxpcriencc. With
reference to the external attribution made by the leaders, machine break- down history
and material supply procedures were examined, and it was noticed that in extreme hot
weather, machines, and tool breakdown reports were excessively high.
Further analysis of data of phase-I indicates that, 60% of leaders with high
transformational leadership characteristics and 50% of these vith normal leadership
characteristics attributed causes to poor performance either to material or tool
inventory problems (external attribution) and 10% of the leadcrs w&ith low
transformational leadership characteristics attributed to these causes as sho%%rn in table
No. 6.17. With mspect to the nature of the job of the leaders (transformational and
non-transformational), the jobs of all the leaders were concerned with manufacturing
operations, but some leaders were more concerned with fabrication operations, some
with assembling operations, and some of them were related to manufacturing
management. It was noted that leaders made attribution (internal as well as external) in all types ofjobs, whether it is related to fabrication, assembly, or management. 7`he
type of attribution (internal or external) made by the leaders was not dependent upon
the nature of the job; it was observed that, leadcr's attribution towards the causes of
244
poor performance was dependent upon their leadership style. I lowcvcr, Dobbins and
Russell (1986), suggested that if poor performance is attributed towards internal
factors, which may result in resentment, dissatisfaction, absenteeism, and sabotage by
followers, and Wood and Mitchell (1981), obscrvcd that if a followcrhad a poor work
history, the likelihood of an internal attribution is greater. T'he previous poor work
historY makes it more likely that the follower will be blamed for the causes of poor
pcrformancc rather than other factors. If the effects of poor performance: arc scrious or
harmful, the internal attributions arc even more likely. However, if followers make
cxcuscs or apologisc for the poor performance,, the leader is less likely to make
internal attributions.
Attribution theory is a cognitive theory that has been used to explain how a leader
interprets information about the poor performance and decides how to rcact to ale
poor performance. Green and Mitchell (1979) described the reaction of a Icadcr to
poor performance as a two-stagc process. The first stage is to dctcrmine the cause of
poor performance, and the second stage is to select an appropriate response to correct
the problem. The type of attribution made by a leader influences the response to the
problem. When an external attribution is made, the leader is more likely to respond by
trying to change the situation, such as providing resources as required. When an
internal attribution is made and the leader determines that the follower had insufficient
ability, the likely response is to provide dcWlcd instruction, monitor the follower's
work more closely, set easier goals or dead lines, give warning or reprimands to the
follower. The assumption considered while answering the question was that, what
results if leaders make internal or external attribution? Podsak-off ct al (1990) defined
transformational leaders behaviour as, to demonstrate the leader's expectations for
cxcellence, quality, and /or high performance on the part of followcrs and he/she
rcspccts followers and is concerned about their pcrsonal feelings. Transforniational
leaders behaviour challenges followers to rc-cxamine some of their assumption about
thcir work and rc-think how it can be improved. For example, if leaders tend to make
external attributions for the causes of poor performance, although, it is actually due to
follower's mistakes (internal causes), followers had the chance to improve their
performance. NVhcn leaders make external attributions, and take appropriate stcps to
solve the external factors causing poor performance, followers wcrc lcft with no
245
cxcuse but to improve their performance. T'hadorc making cxtcmal attributions by
tmnsfonnational leaders for the causes of poor pcrfonnancc is observed as one of the bchaviour of transformational Icadcrship cffcctivcness.
It was further noted in the data analysis of qualitative data, that a quarter of the
population of leaders of the sample with transformational leadership characteristics
attributed their followers as hard working and cfficicnt. IIowcvcr none of the leaders
with low transformational leadership characteristics attributed their followers as hard
working or cfficicnt as shown in category No. 4 of table 6.18. This shows that
transformational leaders show respect and have concern for the personal feeling of
their followers. Transformational leaders don't let their followers down, but showing
themselves as a parent, who ignores the mistakes of their child and always appreciates
them as hard working. Similarly, although there has been some dcricicncy in the
followers, leaders have not high-lightcd them, but viewed their followers as hard
working. Popper and Mayseless (2001) reviewed studies dealing with parenting, and
compared them with studies with transformational leadership. This comparison
reveals a strong similarity between the developmental cffccts of good parents and
those of transformational leaders. It was further noted that none of the leaders with
high transformational leadership characteristics attributed the causes of poor
performance to technical problems or delays in procurement. Only 10% of leaders
-. %ith normal transformational leadership characteristics attributed causes of poor
performance either to technical problems or delays in procurement and none of the
leaders with low transformational leadership characteristics attributed to these causes,
as shown in the graph of figure 6.2.
From the data obtained in phase-I (qualitative data), it was further noted that leaders
%ith high or normal transformational leadership characteristics, attributed causes of
poor perfomiancc to external factors, i. e., matcrial/tool problems, or technical
problcms as shown in table 6.18. However leadcrs with low transformational
leadership characteristics attributed causes of poor performance to internal factors,
i. e., follower's inciTicicncy, follower's lack of interest or inexperienced followers. It
may be noted that in phasc-1, leaders were selected for personnel interviewing on the
basis of trans formational leadership characteristics rated by their followers using
246
Podsak-off ct al (1990) transformational leadership inventory questionnaire. Tcn
leaders were selected on the basis of highest score on trans formational leadership
characteristics, another 10 leaders were selected on the basis of lowest score and 13
leaders on a mean normal score.
In phasc-II, quantitative data collection, the sample size was extended to study the
whole organisation, since in phasc-I of qualitative data collection, 33 leaders were
selected on the basis of transformational leadership scale for intcrvicwing. In phasc-11,
a total of 76 leaders, 43 leaders whose score were more towards trans formational
leadership characteristics, 24 leaders attributed the causes of poor pcrronnancc more
towards external factors in some forni or the other.
Examining the attributional aspect of the leaders in more dctail, it was observed in the
data analysis of phase-11 that most of the leaders, irrespective of trans formational
leadership characteristics (more than 80%) were concerned about the opinion of their
followers or concerned about the opinion of their leader. When they responded to the
question I should be concerned about the opinion that my followers have about md"
as a leader and when they responded to the question, "I should be conccrned about
the opinion that my leader has about me" as a follower. The logic behind asking this
question was to observe the attributions they had about each other and, whether
followers and leaders were respecting fcclings of cach other, if they am respecting
each other feelings, they will also pay attention towards the attribution they made
about each other. Data showed that both (leader and follower) were concerned about
the opinion of each other, i. e., leaders to followers and followers to leaders as shown
in table 6.46 question number I of section 2(B). According to Fiedler contingency
theory (1967), leadership behaviour is a personality trait. According to Fiedler. how
positively the leaders views his or her least preferred co-work-cr (LPQ depends upon
LPC score. High LPC leaders arc classiried as relationships or people oriented (they
tend to feel fairly positive even about people they don't like very much) and low LPC
leaders are classified as task oriented. Fiedler's research indicates that when the
situation is either favourable to the leader or highly unfavourabic group pcrfonnancc
was the best if the leader had a low LPC score (i. e., task oriented leaders) whereas in
situations of moderate or low favourability to the leader, high LPC score (i. e., person
oriented leader) had the best group performance. Favourable or unfavourable
247
Behavioural Asrscts of Tr3nsfonmtion3LLeadcrshigift-tianufacturing QrganisatioUs
situations rcfcr to the extent to which the leader has control over the situation;
According to Shacklcton (1995) it is more sensible to match the lcadcr's style with the
situation, rather than the individual to change to adapt to difrcrcnt situations. Ficdlcr
suggests that a leader should deliberately try to change the situation favourablcncss by
cnhancing relations with followers, changing the amount of structure in a task or
gaining more formal power. The results of data analysis shows that transformational
leaders respect the concerns of their follower's more than non-transformational
leaders do. Lcadcrs irrespective of transformational leadership characteristics arc
generally trying to establish good relations widi followers to improve performance.
Ilowcvcr, when the leaders response was analysed for the question about the
attribution they had about their followers for the causes of poor performance in phase-
If of data analysis, for the question, "My followers arc the cause, when things do not
go as planned". It was observed that leaders with a low score on the trans formational
leadership scale made more attribution towards the followers for the causes of poor
performance or failure in achieving targets. While, leadcrswith a Wgh or normal score
on transformational leadership characteristics agree less for the causes of poor
performance towards the followers, as shown in table 6.46 question number 2 of
smtion 2(B).
To look further into the attributions made by leaders to external cnvironmcnt (e. g.,
vcndors problems, material shipment or customs clearance problems) when leaders
wcrc asked the question "rhe external environment of the rirTn plays a major role in
failure or success of the planned processes" as the causes of poor performance. 11c
general response of the leaders irrespective of trans formational leadership
characteristics was on the neutral side, that is, it may be or may not be, and it depends
upon the circumstances of the situation they had at that particular time.
As the aim of the research question about attribution was to look into the behaviour of
transformational leaders and to find if they attribute the causes of poor performance to
internal or external issues? Ilis study has provided some insights into understanding
transformational leaders bchaviours; with respect to their followers, that is, how
u=formational leaders exert influence on their followcrs to perform beyond the
leaders expectation for excellence, quality, and/or high performance as described by
248
Dchavioural Aspccts of Trans fonrmlional Leadashipinhianufacturing Omanisati -
Podsak-off ct al (1990). The data colicctcd from the lcadcrs of manuracturing
organisations, indicate that trans formational leaders tcnd to make cxtcrnal attribution for the causes of poor performance as shown in category 2 and 3 of table 6.17.111C
cause of making external attribution by transformational leaders, show that
trans formational leaders respect followers and are concerned about the pcrsonal
feelings of their followers, which is defined as one of the transformational leadership
characteristics by Podsakoff ct al (1990). As yet thcrc arc no dircct mcasurcmcnts
available in the literature for the attribution made by transformational Icadcrs.
flowcvcr, literature on attributional research states that Icadcrs generally make internal attribution for the causes of poor performance, and followers make external
attribution for the causes of poor performance, Shackicton (1995). 1"his is a general
tendency of human nature, to blame others for the causes of failure, and take credit for
the success. By making external attribution for the causes of poor pcrfonnancc,
transformational leaders see followers' mistakes as a learning opportunity, and they
tend to improve the external criviroruncrit, provide better opportunities for the
performance of the job, and leave bchind no clue through which performance may be
affected. As a result of leader's actions, followers modify their bchaviours towards the
job performance because there was no reason to blame performance to the external
cnviroruncnt.
Tbe findings of the research question arc consistent with the characteristics of
transformational leadcrship as described by Bass (1990) that transformational leaders
elevate the desires of followers for achievement and sclf-dcvclopmcn% while also
promoting the development of groups and organisations. Instead of responding to the
immediate self-interest of followers with either a carrot or a stick, transformational
leaders arouse in the individual a licightcried awarcncss of key issues, of the group and
Organisation, so increasing the confidence of followcrs, and gradually moving them
from concerns for existence to concerns for achievement, growth and dcvclopmenL
IIL. ncc irrespective of the actual circumstance by making external attributions for the
causes of poor performance even when an internal attribution would have been
cqually valid, trans formational leaders tend to favour the followcrs dcvclopmcnt and
conridcncc. They arc leadcrs who tend to ignore followcr's mistakcs, and convcrt
mistakes into a learning experience for their followcrs.
249
The findings from data analysis answer the research qucstion No. 2, that
trans forl-national leaders' generally make external attributions for tile cause of poor
pcrformance in manufacturing organisations.
The study has showed that, transformational leaders tend to make external
attributions for the causes of poor performance In manufacturing organisations.
The findings from the data analysis can bc stated as hypothesis 2 (112) dcscribing
trans formational Icadership and attribution as:
112: Transformational leaders tend to make external attributions for the
causes of poor performance In manufacturing organisations.
Research into the attribution theory of leadership is still in its infancy, Shackicton
(1995) but now thcre is evidence to reveal the type of attributions made by
transformational Icadcrs in a manufacturing cnvironmcnt and the cffccts that these can
have. However, this hypothesis is formulated from the data collected from Pakistani
manufacturing organisations only and requires testing in other countries before being
conclusively proved and gencralised.
7.4 Transformational Leadership and Feedback
For most of this century, scholars have been intcrested in the link between fccdback,
motivation, and performance (Ammon, 1956; Klugcr & DcNisi, 1996). Feedback
racarch continues because of a possible performance-cnhancing cffcct, although the
literature increasingly suggests that the cffects of feedback on performance and
follower attitude are quite variable. Cybernetic theorist Weiner (1948) is credited with
introducing the concept of feedback into general usage defining it as "a mcthod of
controlling a systcmý' (Weincr, 1954). Cusclia (1987) obscrvcd that despite the
Systematic origins of the feedback conccpt, almost all models Of feedback and
fccdback research emphasized the internal psychological processes of feedback
sending and receiving. Whether the emphasis was on fccdback characteristics, (goals,
250
Dch3vioural Asl! rcts of Transfoumlion3l Leadershipla-Manufactuflng Orranisatiom
sources, types, functions) or its relationship to motivation and pcrformance, the
intcrnal psychological state that formed the basis for fccdback choices, rathcr than
actual fcodback process, was the primary focus. According to Fisher (1978J fccdback
is a process that takes place in a circular closed loop of intcraction.
To cxamine the bchaviours of transformational leaders and to determine how they gct
foedback about their actions, qualitative data was colloacd by personal intcrvicwing
of manufacturing Icadcrs from the selected sample on the basis of Podsak-offs ct al
(1990) questionnaire completed by their respective followcrs. From the sample of 50
leaders of phasc-I from five manufacturing organisations in Pakistan, 23 lCadcrs; (10
leaders of highest score on transformational leadcrship characteristics and 13 leaders
on normal score on transformational leadership charactcristics) wcrc selected for
personal intcrviewing, to find how they get fcodback about their actions and the
progress; of the job done in their sections. Anothcr 10 leaders were selected on the
basis of lowest score on transformational leadership characteristics. Leaders responses
wcrc noted on contact summary shocts with the details of leader, organisational
details, date, time and place of intcrvicw. Those contact summary shocts were
analysed using interview analysis procedure described by Fink (2003).
From the data analysis it was noted that, leaders with a high score on the
trans formational leadership characteristics, prefer to directly discuss with followers
about the progress of the job done or had close contact with their followers by having
daily short review meetings with them as shown in table No. 6.22. As described by
these leaders, this feedback enabled them to build good working relationships with followers and provide opportunity for followers to discuss day-to-day problems
concerned with their jobs, as well as it enables leaders to rcvic%v their actions if there
is any problem in the process or in performing the job. The argument involving the
systematic aspects of feedback concerns the cultural manifestations of consistent
patterns of fcedbacL These patterns create feedback cnvironmcnts %vhcrc cultural
norms and values emerge around the sources of feedback and the types of information
conveyed. Cusclia (1987) argued that when the study of feedback is conccptualiscd in
terms of feedback loops and fccdback cnviro=cn4 the internal psychological (individual) and external communicative (system) arc jointly operative. I Ic noted "a
communication perspective to fccdback processes, while representing a clear
251
Behavioural Aspccts of Trans forrmtion3tlcadershipin-Minufactudng CýC nissfioDS
separation from cognitive models of fccdback is, nacrtlicless, intcrdcpcndcnt with
them" (Cusclia, 1987). The psychological views of sending and receiving feedback
include sources of fccdback, its credibility. goal-sctting and sclr. rcgulatory
mechanisms. Rescarch on sources of fccdback by Ilanscr & Muchinsky, (1978),
11crold & Grcllcr, (1977) established differences in the perceived inrormativeness of
rive sources of performance fccdback, in rank order dicy arc, i. e., 1) oneself, 2) the
task, 3) supervisors, 4) co-workcrs, 5) the organisation. 11crold, Liden, and
Lcathcr%vood (1987) presented confirmatory results to this rank order. However, this
order has been disputed (Bcckcr & Klimoski, 1989), and there is some controversy
over whether the scif and task arc distinct sources of feedback.
It is to be noted that some jobs require more feedback than others. For example
whenever, there arc quality problems in production, leaders generally require timely
fccdback to take immediate action to correct the problem, and this fccdback may be
directly obtained from followers as well as from the task itself. 71crcforc in general,
leaders require or seek feedback about the progress of the jobs done in their
departments, in some form or the other. It was noted that feedback seeking by leaders
does not depend upon the type of leadership style, whether trans ron-national or not. As
this study was focussed on the bchaviours of transformational leaders in
manufacturing organisations, and how transformational leaders behaviour is distinct
from non-transformational leaders. The data collected from the leaders of the five
manufacturing organisations indicate that leaders with high transformational
leadership characteristics have more direct contact with their followers than leaders
with low transformational leadership characteristics in the form of receiving feedback
rom their followers. Studies show that good leaders communicate fcclings and ideas. f
actively solicit new ideas from others, and cffcctivcly articulate argurncnts, and
persuade others (Bcnnis & Nauus, 1985. Kanter, 1983, Parks, 1985). Effective
communications skills arc important because they provide leaders and followers with
Srieater access to information relevant to important organisational decisions (Ficchtncr
& Kraycr, 1986). However only 2 out of 10 leaders with a high score on the
transformational leadership scale prefer to get feedback through management reports
concerning productivity, quality, e. g., daily production rcports, reviewing of
production targets or through indirect sources.
252
From the sample of 10 leaders, 6 leaders who had a low score on the transrormational
leadership scale prefer to get fccdback through daily production reports instead or direct face to face contact with followers as shown in table 6.23.11iis shows that non-
transformational leaders instead of getting information from their followers prefer to
get fccdback from indirect sources, e. g., production reports, quality control reports ctc.
Ilowcvc; for leaders with normal score on trans formational leadership scale, it was
found that 4 out of 10 leaders get fccdback directly from followers, and asked
followers about the progress of the job done. Five out of ten leaders with a normal
score on the transformational leadership scale had daily review mcctings with
followers, and 3 out of 10 leaders with a normal score on the transformational
leadership scale prefer to get fccdback through production reports as sho%vn in table
6.24. Therefore it can be stated that leaders with high or normal transformational
leadership characteristics try to build working relationship with their followers, and
prefer to get feedback directly from the followers. The assumption in defining the
fccdback mechanism whilst exploring transformational leaders behaviour is that
transformational leadership is concerned with follower's skills dcvclopmcn4 e. g.,
individualized consideration or leadership while developing people. 71ýs indicates the
level of care that the leader shows towards their followers about both their
professional development and about them as individuals. The leader is alcrt to the
followers' needs, provides challenges and le=ing opportunities and delegates tasks
to raise their skills and confidence. Such intellectual stimulation by the leader
cncourages followers to use their imagination and to challenge the accepted ways of
doing things, and presents an idealized influence in which the leader shows great
persistence and dctcmiination in pursuing objectives for followers. 11creforc, to see
whether transformational leader bchaviours arc actually consistent with their
characteristics, and whether these characteristics can actually be observed in their
behaviour in a manufacturing cnvironmcnL Do they in reality prefer to have close
contact with their followers since when Icadcr-followcrs communication is high, their
working relationship is believed to be high creating a climate that ultimately raises the
morale and confidcnce of their followers. Some of the views of the leaders showing
these cornments about feedback arc:
253
'I usually havc casual mcclings ivithfollourrs to build a closc contact ivith thcm,
and encouragc thefollowers by apprcciating any goodjob donc by thern and
motivate thcm to pcrform a good standardjob. " (Lcadcr No. 12, leader with high

any problem occurring in the performance of the job. Nomially I have short

tmnsforTnational leadership scale)
-]got feedback from daily production rcports, i. e. the targets achicned. and

the causes, and take action as required " (I=dcr No. 30, L=dcr %%ifli low Scorc
on tr=forinational Icadership charactcristics)
To verify the statements by the leaders about feedback-, followers were asked to
describe their leader's behaviour about them. Sixty five percent of the followers of
transformational leaders told the researcher, that their leader used to visit them during
the performance of the jobs, and their leader checked the progms of the job done and discussed with them any problem in the performance of the job or any requirements
needed for the completion of the job. However, 5019 of the followers of non.
transformational leaders informed the researcher, that they see their leader sometimes
and the leader gets feedback through production reports, but whenever there arc
problems in meeting the targets or quality problems, their leader calls for an
explanation from them to know the cause of the problem and action they arc taking.
To establish credibility of the follower's responses, the follower's responses were
noted on the contact summary sheet against their respective leaders. One of the
interpretations of feedback seeking by transformational leaders from followers seems
an atternPt to establish a close contact with followers, and to build a good working
254
13chavioural Aspscts of-Trans formational leaderft- in ManufacturingOrganisationj
relationship. Since one of transfonnational leadership characteristics is 'individually
considerate' as dcrincd by Bass (1985) that indicates transformational leaders pay
individual attention to followers. While seeking feedback fmm followers,
trans fonnational. leaders, on one side arc aware of the progress of the job done and on
the other side they get information about followers problems concerning the execution
of thcirjobs.
The findings from the result as show in category I and 2 of table No. 6.25 show that
transformational leaders maintain a close contact with their followers and regularly
, seek feedback from them. By having regular contact with followers or having short
review meetings with followers, transformational leaders actually try to maintain a
good working relationship, and seek to minimise the communication gap. It was also
found by Scarborough (2001) that transformational leaders openly talk to their
followers about their beliefs, what is right, wrong, and ethical in both company
contexts and outside the company contexts whenever possible. As defined by llicbcrt
& Klatt (2001) feedback is generally acknowledged as an essential ingredient for
cffcctive leadership. It is a fundamental part of the process leading people towards
behaviour and performance that is appropriate to any given situation. Leaders and
followers can enhance the clarity of their communications in several ways; the leader
may present a new organisational policy to followers, and they may come up with
different interpretations of this policy based on different values and expectations. By
being sensitive to followers' frames of reference and modifying messages accordingly,
leaden can minimize communication breakdowns. According to Fairhurst (2001)
cognitive models of leadership suggested that leadcr-followcr rclationsWip is a context
for communication. Drecksel (1991) observed, "I=dcrship is located, observed and
interpreted as a communicative process comprising cxtcrnalised and directly
observable behaviour. Other leadership communication researchers focus on
conversational practices and naturally occurring talk. Scholars argue that research
practices should include the study of actual communication because that which is
relational is social and between people. Montgomery (1992) noted that O'social
phenomena arc defined by the relations among their charactcristics-be the people,
places, goals, or bchaviours-not by the characteristics themselves"; hcncc tile
instantiation of relationships in communication. As Bateson, (1972) observed,
255
communication is the relationship. Bums' (1978) dcrines transfomiing leadership as,
when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and
followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality ... power bases
are linked not as countcnt-cights but as mutual supportfor [a common puqWel. ... Transforming leadership ultimately moral in that it raises the level of human conduct
and ethical aspiration of both leader and led, and thus it has a transforming effca on
both ... the leader makes the initiative in making the leadcr-Icd connection, - it is the
leader who creates the links that allow communication and exchange to take
place ... Leaders. ... will have the major role in ultimately carr)*tg out the combined
purpose of leaders andfollon-crs ... and address themselivs tofolloswrt wants, needs,
and other motivation, as ivell as to their own, and thus thcy scn-c as an indcpcndcnI
force in changing the makeup of the followers motive base through gratif)ing their
moijivs. (p. 20)
From the findings of data analysis as sho, %m in table No. 6.25 and above discussion
about feedback and transformational leadership, the third hypothesis can be stated
about feedback and transformational leadership. It was also stated by Atwater ct al
(199.5), that perhaps one day, upward feedback (feedback receiving from followers) in
organisations would be as common as downward feedback (fccdback giving to
followers) and perhaps morc effective for improving pcrformancm According to
Piclstick (1998) the transformational leaders listen to fully understand the pcrccptions
of followers, their needs, and their concerns. 'Mis requires asking probing questions
and feedback as well as thinking reflectively to enhance understanding. Such leaders
display a willingness to be influenced and to use their understanding to further shape
the vision, cvcr increasing the shared nature and support for the vision. 'I'licrcrorc a
third hypothesis is formulated as:
113: Transformational leaders seek more feedback from followers In
manufacturing organisations than non-transformational leaders.
This hypothesis may be used as a guiding behaviour for the leaders in a manufacturing
Organisation to build in them transformational leadership characteristics. It can also be
256
Behavioural Asrscts of Transfonmtional Leadcnhipjn Manufacturing Ofganisations
used as a part of an assessment tool for the evaluation of transformational Icadcrship
characteristics for the up-and coming Icadcrs of manufacturing organisations, as wcll
as also being used in training programmes for the dcvclopmcnt of manufacturing leadcrs.
7.5 Transformational leadership and Organisaflonal Cul(urc
The interaction between leadership and organisational culture has been rccogniscd by
Bass who stated, "Organisational culture affccts leadership as much as lcadcrship
affccts organisational culture, Bass (1998). The importance of leadership in relation to
organisational culture is par=ounL as leaders can become sources of values within an
organisational culture and thus have an impact on followers, Bennis & Nanus (1985).
Several studies suggested that leadership is the driving force in organisational culture,
Avolio & Bass (1998); Badaracco & Ellsworth (1989); Bass & Avolio (1993,1994);
Burm (1978); Dcn Hartog, Van Muijcn & Koopman (1996); Fairliolm, (1991);
Kuczmarski & Kuczmarski (1995); Schein (1985).
According to Schein (2004) when we examine culture and leadership closely, we scc
that they are two sides of the same coin; neither can be understood by itself. On the
one hand, culture norms define how a given nation or organisation will dcrinc
leadcrship-who will get promoted, who will get the attention of followers. On the
other hand, it can be argued that the only thing of real importance that leaders do is to
create and manage culture; that the unique talent of leaders is their ability to
understand and work- with culture and therefore the ultimate act of leadership is to
destroy culture when it is viewed as dysfunctional.
According to Bass, transactional leaders work within thcir organisational cultures
following existing rules, procedures and norms; transformational leaders changc thcir
culture by first understanding it and then realigning the organisation's culture with a
new vision and a revision of its sharcd assumptions, values and norms, Bass (1985).
Ijus, there is constant interplay between culture and leadership, as leaders can be
both transactional and transformational in organisations.
257
To study organisational culture and trans formational leadership, we used the
organisational Cultural Assessment Instrument (OCAI) developed by Camcron &
Quinn (1999), to measure the organisational cultural cffects for trans formational
leadership in the fivc manufacturing organisations of the sample. Ilic Organisational
Cultural Assessment Instrument developed by Camcron and Quinn (1999) is bascd on
the Competing Values Framework (Quinn & Rohrbaugh 1981,1983, I'hompson,
McGrath & Whorton 1981). It was designed to narrow and focus the search for key
cultural dimensions helpful in organising and intcrprcting organisational phenomena.
Camcron and Quinn acknowledge that "organisational culture is extremely broad and
inclusive in its scope", a reason why there are so many dimensions or pcrspcctives.
DiPadova and Facrman (1993) found "the Competing Values Framework to be a
useful tool for helping organisational members better understand the similarities and differences of managerial leadership roles at various levels of hierarchy. Managcrs
were able to use the framework as a basis for organisation and management development with surprising disregard for privileges of rank. " This framework was
chosen for this study because it was experimentally dcrivcd and found to have a high
degree of face and empirical validity. Additionally, the organisational Cultural
Assessment instrument was idenfified as having a high level of reliability matching or
exceeding that of other instruments commonly used in the social and organisational
sciences (Cameron and Ettington, 1988; Cameron and Quinn, 1999; Bcrrio, 2003).
All the leaders from the five manufacturing organisations of the sample were asked to
complete the OCAl toolkit by indicating their perception of the culture that they
thought was appropriate for their organisation to be highly successful. 11c majority of
the transformational leaders perceived their organisation to have a clan culture, and few perceived the culture to be adhocratic or hierarchical. Clan culture as dcrined by
Cameron and Quinn (1999), as a friendly place to work whcrc people share a lot
themselves- it is more like an extended family than economic entities. Sonic basic
assumptions of clan culture arc that the environment can be best managed through
team work and employee development, customers arc best thought of as partners, the
organisation is in the business of developing a liumanc work- environment, and the
major task of management is to empower employees and facilitate their participation,

it was observed from the results that transformational leaders rated clan type
organisational culture more than adhocracy, market, or hierarchy culturcs. Ilowcvcr
pockets of these cultures arc also resident in the organisation as sho%%m in figurc No.
6.6, figure No. 6.8 and figure No, 6.14. From the results of the data analysis of the
organisation cultural assessment instrument, it was also noted that in the organisations
used in this study, the leaders that created weak- situational strength for their followcrs
also perceived the organisational culture to be more associated with clan and
adhocratic cultures. Studying the definitions of Clan and Adhocratic culture, it is
cvident that both of these culture types are associated to some extent with ambiguity
and individuals having discretion and power to decide their course of actions.
As derined by Hooijberg (1996), there is strong support for the quadrant structure of
the Competing Values Framework for distinguishing leadership roles. The framework
identifies eight leadership roles along the two dimensions of intcmaVcxtcmal focus
and flexibility/prcdictability resulting in two leadership roles in each quadrant. Each
role is juxtaposed with roles on the opposite side of the modcl.
Ibc upper left quadrant (clan) focuses on the people issues of the organisation and is
charactcrised by a flexible orientation and a focus on the internal functioning of the
unit. The two leadership roles in this quadrant are the facilitator and mcntor roles. The
facilitator encourages the expression of ideas, seeks consensus, and negotiates
compromise. As a facilitator, the leader fosters collective cffort, builds cohesion and
teamwork, and manages interpersonal conflict. 711c: leader's aim is to encourage group
mcmbers to see their involvement in the team as having meaning and value that is
more important than their own self-interest. I'lic, leader is rcsponsibic for
implementing lessons from the past and for creating a climatc that supports initiativcs;

and undcrwrites honest mistakes. A "zcro-dcfccts" atmosphere stifles learning and
reduces performance proficicncy to a level that only maintains the status quo.
flooijbcrg, (1996) furthcr described that, the upper right quadrant (Adhocracy) focuses
on organisational adaptation and is charactcrised by a flexible orientation and a focus
on the cnvironmcnt external to the unit, and cmphasises developing innovations and
obtaining resources for the unit. Two leadership roles arc dcrincd for this quadrant,
namely the innovator and broker leadership roics. I'lic innovator is creative, and
cncourages and facilitates change. The broker is politically astutc, acquires resources,
and maintains the unit's external legitimacy through the dcvc1opnicnt, scanning, and
maintenance of a nctwork of cxtcmal contacts. Consequently, the leader exerts
upward influence on decisions made at higher levels in the organisation.
Quinn (1996) also suggested that the upper quadrants (clan & adhocracy) of the
Competing Values Framework describe transformational leadership roles as %vhcre the
leader is portrayed as a motivator, attending to commitmcnL cmphasising company
values, and challenging people with ne%v goals. In addition, the leader is a vision
sctter, focusing on the purpose and direction and communicating a sense of where the
Organisation will be over the long term.
The right lower quadrant (market) focuses on determining and accomplishing the
organisatiorfs tasks and is charactcrised by a control orientation and a focus on the
environment external to the unit. The two leadership roles in this quadrant arc the
producer and director roles. The producer is task oriented and work focused and has
high levels of intcrest, motivation, energy, and personal drive. Leaders in the role of
producers drive themselves and their tcarns unrelentingly to%vard a stated objective to
achieve the completion of the unit's task 71c director cmphasiscs setting and
clarifying goals by defining problems, selecting aitcmativcs, dcrining roles and tasks,
generating rules and policies, and giving instructions. People who excel at the director
role are often highly competitive, decisive, and make their expectations clear.
The left lower quadrant (hicrarchy) focuses on maintaining flic stability of the
organisation and is ch=ctcrised by a control oricntation and a focus on the intcmal
functioning of the unit. In other words, the leader brings a scnsc of ordcr into the unit.
260
The two leadership rolcs in this quadrant arc the co-ordinator and the monitor. The
coordinator maintains structure, does the scheduling, co-ordinating. and problem
solving. and sees that rules and standards arc met. People who excel in this role arc dependable and reliable. I'lic monitor collects and distributes information, checks on
performance, and provides a sense of continuity and stability. I'lic monitor role
requires the leader to pay attention to dctail, to maintain control, and undcrtake
analysis.
Quinn (1996) suggested that the lower quadrants (hierarchy & market) of the frwnc%vork describe transactional leadership roles where the leader is portrayed as a
taskmaster attending to pcrfonnancc and focusing on results, and as an analyscr
concentrating on the efficiency of operations. The Competing Values Framework
recogniscs that leaders oflcn face paradoxical rcquircmcnts in meeting the competing dcrnands of stakeholders. The eight roles highlight actual ways in which leaders can deal with these competing requirements. A study of bchavioural complexity
conducted by Denison ct al. (1995) of 176 executives concluded that less cffective leaders (as assessed by superior ratings) exhibited one central cluster of three poorly differentiated roles: Co-ordinating, producing, and dirccting. Research indicates that
highly cffcctivc leaders as rated by superiors, peers, and subordinates have developed
capabilities and skills that allow them to succeed in cach of the four quadrants (Denison et al, 1995).
Findings from this study arc inconsistent with the litcraturc about leadership and
organisational culture. In this research the trans formational leaders rated their choice
1nore towards the upper quadrants of the Competing Values framework more than the lower quadrants as shown in figure No. 6.6, figure No. 6.8. and figure No. 6.14, i. e.,
rating of transformational leaders in the upper quadrants of OCAI, i. e., more towards
clan and adhocracy cultures than hierarchy and market cultures. I'lic clan and
adhocracy cultures as derined by Cameron and Quinn (1999) are concerned %%ifll
cmployccs empowerment and flexibility in the performance of task. Transformational
leaders give discretion to their followers in decision making and created a weak-
situation for their followers to make the job more flexible as found in the analysis of
research question No. I of tmnsfonnational leadership and situational strength.
261
Figure 7.1 presents a framework that represents organisational culture, Icadcrship
style, and situational strength in a cohesive structure. It comprises of 4- quadrant grid
organiscd around two factors: Icadcrship stylc and organisational culturc.
Quadrant I- Transformational lcadcrship and Adhocracy/Clan culture Quadrant 11 - Non- transformational leadership and Adhocracy/Clan culture Quadrant III- Transformational Icadership and Ilicrarchy/ Markct culturc Quadrant IV- Non- transformational leadership and Hicrarchy/ Nlarkct culture
The framework suggests that a combination of Transformational Icadcrship with Adhocracy/ Clan culture (Quadrant 1) would generate a weak situational strcngth in
the organisation providing more discretion and capability to the followers to manage
their tasks. The combination of Non-Transformational and Hierarchy/ Marka
(Quadrant IV) would generate a strong situational strength in the organisation
providing strict guidelines and structure to the followers for completing their tasks.

From this model it can be hypothesiscd that:
1. Transformational Icadcrs prcfcr to work in Adhocratic or Clan typc culturc. 2. Non-trans formational Icadcrs prcfcr to work in Hicrarchy/ hlarkct typc
culturcs. 3. Transformational Icadcrs prcfcr to crcatc working cnviro=cnts with a wcak

strong situational strcngth for tlicir followcrs.
I'lic framework depicts the organisational perspective in regards to die Icadcrship
style, culture, and the situational strength. It can be argued that thcrc may be a ccrtain
organisational culture but different departments in the organisation may have their
respective cultures. In addition, each individual dcpartmcnt may be headed by a leader
who may influence the culture and situational strength of the dcpartmcnt. This is
shown in figure 7.2, which depicts the internal leadership and cultural systems in
organisations.

AfIcr analysing the questionnaires, the data was inserted into the rcscarch model (figure 7.3). The variables used in the questionnaire were primarily trans formati onal
variables; hence even a low score meant that the leader had some qualities of a
transformational leader. But in the context of dcvclopmcnt of organisational culture
and situational strength model it was decidcd to focus on high transrormational
behaviour, all leaders having a score of ; -*4.0 (mean- 4.0) wcrc considered as
trans rormational leaders and the rest of the sample %vas considcrcd to be non-
transformational. Thus out of the sample of 76 leaders, 37 leaders were considered to
be transformational as shown in appcndix-D. The leaders who had a score bctwccn 3.0
and 4.0 could be considered to be transformational based on certain critcria, but for
developing organisational culture and a situational strength model it was decided to
consider only those leaders as transformational who had a score over 4.0.
The 76 leaders were then asked to complete two questionnaires. One dealt with the
issues of situational strength, focussing on the aspccU of discrction that lcadcrs
provided to their followers, whereas the other was the "Organisational Culture
Assessment Indicatoe, (oCAI) questionnaire developed by Camcron and Quinn. The
OCAI questionnaire was used for getting an insight into the organisational culture
based on the OCAI typology viz. Adhocracy, Clan, Ilicrarchical, and hlarkcL I'lic
respondents were asked to complete the OCAI questionnaire to depict thcir pcrccption
of the culture in their organisations. The questionnaire measuring situation strcngdi
comprised of six questions, which looked at the level of discretion provided by the
leaders to their followers to take decisions, monitoring of followers, having a clear
standard of praise and punishment, setting of clear goals, and lcvcI of discipline in the
working environment. A 5-point scale ranging from I-docsn't emphasise to
5=strongly cmphasise was used. Leaders having a score of )18.0 (mean score 18.0)
were termed to perceive the situations that they work in as having a strong situational
strength. Leaders having a score of (18.0 were termed to perceive the situations that
they work in as having a weak- situational strength. For leaders with scores of 18 and
19, the score for the question on discrction rules %vlicthcr they were in the strong or
weak category. Where the question on discrction generated a high score on
cmphasising discretion given to followers, the situation was tcrmed as weak- and
where there was no discretion given to followers, the situation was tcrmed as strong.

It can be clearly seen that the preference of trans fonnational leaders is to create a working cnviroruncnt with a weak situational strength for their followers. It can also be infcrrcd that Non-transformational leaders would generally prefer to create working
environments with a strong situational strength for their followers. It can also be sccn that the results did not provide a complete correlation between type of Icadcrship and
situational strength. 65% of the transformational leaders showed a preference for a
weak situational strength, whereas 35% showed a prcfcrcncc for strong situational
strength. Studying each variable affecting the situational strength and the leaders
preference could rectify the discrepancy in these results. Similarly, 74% of the non- transformational leaders showed a preference for a strong situational strength, whereas 26% showed a preference for a weak- situational strength, details as shown in
appcndix-N.
The results from the OCAI questionnaire showed some discrepancy bctwccn the
hypothesised research model and the actual data. The hypothesis that trunsformational
leaders prefer to work in Adhocratic or Clan type culture has been supported by the
data. 94.5% of the transformational leaders showed preference for a Clan culture,
whereas only 5.5% have shown preference for a Hierarchy / Market culture. The
discrepancy arises in the preference of non-tram formational leaders. Ibc hypothesis
that non-transformational leaders prefer to work in Hierarchy/ Mark-ct type cultures is
not supported. A detailed analysis regarding the cultural preference of non-
transformational leaders is required to ascertain whether the leaders in this sample have not been able to draiv out the differences between clan and hierarchy as die
hierarchy culture is next after clan in the evolution of organisational culture. This
hypothesis could be supported if based on the previous hypothesis rcgardinf;
situational strength. Since non-transformational leaders showed a preference for
strong situational strength and since the Hierarchy/ market cultures arc associated with
strong situational strength, it can be inferred that non-transformational leaders woulld
show a preference for working in Hicrarchy/ Markct type cultures.

In the context of this research, the systems model of Icadcrship and culture proposed
in figure 7.2, is also important as the respondents who were tcrmed as lcadcrs wcrc
not only the top management but also were Project Directors, Gcncral Managcrs,
Deputy General Managers, and Officer in-chargc of manufacturing units, hianagcrs,
and Foremen. The respondents wcrc tcrmed as leaders in the context of this research
by virtue of being in charge of a working group and had people reporting to them.
Hence, the systems model is important as it dcpicts that even though a leadcr (top
management) has a certain preference for organisational culture and situational
strength, a leader (as defined in the context of this research) of a section in the
organisation may have his/ her own preference for culture and situational strcngth.
Ibis may lead to either the leader in the section changing his preference in order to
align with the organisational preference (top management) or will maintain the
difference but will flind away to align with the organisational goals. Top management
however, if not satisfied with the difference in the prcf=nces bctwccn the section and
the organisation, may either replace the leader with one who maintains their
preference or who would initiate to transform. the leadership style of the section
leader.
The research model is particularly useful for deciding whcthcr it would be possible to
transform leadership style without changing cultural and situational strcngth
prcfcrcnccs. As shown in figure 7.4, we can h)pothcsisc that if the lcadcr is in
quadrant III and would like to maintain his/licr trans fonnational style of lcadcrship,
hc/she should change the prcfcrcncc for culture to Adhocracyl Clan. If the leader is in

Figure 7.4: The Alignment model of Leadership
"crefore it seems that the appearance of transformational leaders in the upper
quadrants of the OCAI is a clear indication of their leadership style i. e.,
transformational leadership style. Those transformational leaders see their
organisational culture more in terms of clan and adhocracy environment. However,
the results show that there exist distinct hierarchy and market cultures -although to a
less, er extent- rated by transformational leaders but in minor forms as shown in figures
No. 6.6,6.8,6.10, and 6.14. This may be because the OCAl asks the leaders to rate
their choice of culture more towards the culture that is most similar to their
Organisation and does not ask to ignore other forms of culture. However, in the
organisational profile for leaders with transformational leadership characteristics for
Organisation No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5, trans formational leaders rated the upper
quadrants more than lower quadrant. In the organisational profiles for organisation
No. 3 and No. 4, transformational leaders rated lower quadrants too. The difference in
the profiles between organisation No. 1, No. 2, No. 5, and that of organisations No. 3
and No. 4 seems to relate to the ditTerences in the organisation ownership of the
companies. As organisation No. I to No. 3 were governnicrit owned and organisation
No. 4 and No. 5 were public and pfivate limited companies rcspccti%, cly, for which
267 lkk,
organisational, cultural difference may have occurred. It may also be noted that
government owned organisations had more hierarchy in terms of positions of leaders
than public and private limited organisations, as well as number of people cmploycd
in both type of organisations, which may affect organisational culture.
When looking at the organisational proriles for leaders with low transformational
leadership characteristics, market and hierarchy cultures (lower quadrants) sccrn more dominant for organisation No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, while for organisation No. 5
it is more towards adhocratic culture (upper right quadrant).
Rating by transformational leaders to clan culture on OCAI more in organisation No.
1,2, and 5 shows that transformational leaders were more focussed to clan type
culture, as the leader in a clan culture is considered to be mcntor and cvcn parcnt figures, which is also one of the transformational leaders charactcristics. A leader in
the adhocracy culture was considered as an innovator and risk taker. In a hierarchy
culture the leader was considered as a good organizcr, coordinator, and in a market
culture the leader was considered as hard driver, competitor and producer. Ilowcvcr,
rating by transformational leaders on OCAI in organisation No. 3 and organisation No. 4 to clan culture is not very high as compared to hierarchy. adhocracy or market
culture. This shows a cultural incongruence, and these cultures arc also rated by
transformational leaders but the dominant culture they prefer is clan t)Pc culture. It
was described by Camcron and Quinn, that in a congruent culture, the strategy leadership style, reward system, approach to managing employee and dominant
characteristics, all tend to emphasise the same set of cultural values, i. e., each of the
individual ratings would be same for all quadrants. However in an incongruent
culture, individuals would rate each quadrant differently. The presence of cultural
incongruence in any organisation would cmphasisc different culturc t)pcs and shoW
no particular pattern of similarity. Cultural incongruence often leads to differences in
perspective, differences in goals, and differences in strategies within the organisation. However, from the results of data analysis, it is evident that trans formational leadcr-S
rated more towards clan type culture in their organisation, and clan culture is the most
common culture rated by transformational leaders in manuracturing organisations. 71ir,

profilcs obtained of organisational cultures from data analysis as shown in chaptcr 6,
h)pothesis 4 can be stated as:
114: Clan culture Is the most common cultural environment created or existing In paralld with transformational leadership.
71c stated hypothesis can be a guiding direction for the researcher interested in the
research of organisational culture. This hypothesis can be used to change a culture for
trans fon-national leadership in manufacturing organisations. By creating a clan culture in manufacturing organisation, one can expect the presence of trans formational
leadership in manufacturing organisation.
7.6 Effectiveness of the analysis techniques:
in this study, a mixed methods technique was used. As pointed out by Tashakkori and Tcddlie (1998), mixed methods arc useful because they provide bcttcr opportunities for answering research questions. Mixed method designs incorporate techniques from
both qualitative and quantitative research traditions and combine them in unique ways to answer research questions that could not be answered in any othcr way. According
to Tashakkori and Taddlie (2003) mixed mcthcAs design %ill be the dominant
methodological tools in the social and bchavioural sciences during the 21" ccntury. The major strength of mixed methods designs is that they allow for rcscarch to develop as comprehensively and completely as possible. When compared with a
single method the domain or inquiry is less likely to be constrained by the method itself Because the supplementary data arc oftcn not completely saturated or as in-
depths as they would be if they were a study in their own right, certainty is attained by
verifying supplemental data with data strategies used within the core study.
In this study, qualitative data was analysed follo%%ing the steps of qualitative data
analysis of open-ended questions by Fink (2003). The use of computer software for
the analysis of interviews was not possible because transcript or audio tapes of the interviews were not recorded so as to keep the promise made by the researcher about
conridcntially and anonymousness to the rcspondcnts. Ille procedure described by
269
Fink (2003) was found appropriate and valid where respondents were reluctant to
allow recording of interviews, and arc willing to respond to tile questions without
recording to avoid any identification of personal or organisational dctails. 111c
responses were noted on contact summary shect with personal and organisational details coded in the form of numbers. Ilowcvcr, rcspondcnts read over the statements
noted on the contact summary sheet by tile researcher to confirm the responses or to
clear any ambiguity while noting the responses on the contact summary slicct. Data
was analysed in phasc-11 using quantitative data analysis techniques described by Fink
(2003). Leaders were asked to rate their choices on the questionnaire in which a Likert
scale of I to 5, was used, where "I" corresponds to leaders emphasising that choice at
all the time, and, and 'T' corresponds to leaders not cmphasising that choice at all,
and 'T' as the ncutral responses i. e., leaders emphasisc that choice some time. %Vllilc
compiling the results, the mean responses from all the leaders were calculated for each
type of leadcr (transformational and non-transformational) and then an overall mean
for all the five organisations used in the sample was calculated. llowcvcr, ror
organisational cultural profiles, data was analysed following the procedure of data
analysis of Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), as described by
Cameron & Quinn (1999). Responses from the leaders on the OCAI were r-atcgoriscd
on the basis of transformational IcadcrsWp characteristics as low. high or normal
transformational leaders, and the mean response was calculated for each category. The
means obtained wcrc plotted as per OCAT procedure to obtain organisation culture
profiles. This was done because individual responses if plotted, produce a multitude of
graphs and hencc it would be difficult to observe the overall difference. All the data
obtained was analysed using standard procedures of data analysis and hypotheses
wcrc stated as a result of findings from the data analysis.
7.7 Limitations of the Experiment
Results of this study are, of course, limited by sample size. Ilic data arc sclf-rcportcd
and subject to biases, and may not accurately describe the relationship, although as
pointed out by Spector and Brannick (1995) that scif-rcported data are not as limited
as commonly expected. This study was focussed only to study transformational
leadership in manufacturing organisations in Pakistan and to know about the
270
psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders that "'makes
them better than non-transformational leaders. Ilic study was aimed at exploring
trans formational leaders behaviour in manufacturing organisations, and how they
developed this behaviour. Although all tile data obtained was limited to manufacturing
organisations in Pakistan, I believe the results am probably representative of othcr
counhics certainly those with similar cultures and it would need sonic form of cultural
assessment to extend the result to very different cultures. 71c Hypothesis stated needs
further testing, which is beyond the scope of this study, due to time and economic
constraints. The stated hypotheses needs to be tested by confirmatory factor analysis
-. vith comparatively larger sample size to assess the convergent and discriminant
validities of all the situational variables on trans formational leadership within this
study. Convergent validity is used to look at the differences in test scores between
groups of people who would be expected to score differently on the test. Discriminant
validity, in which the test scores arc unrelated to tests and bchaviours in different
domains, seems to be less often assessed than is convergent validity. However, the
question of discriminant validity is important when one is trying to distinguish one
theory from another. The subtitle of Daniel Golernans book Emotional Intelligence is
"%Vhy it can matter more than IQ. " His argument is that emotional IQ is different from
traditional IQ and so measures of emotional IQ should not correlate very highly with
measures of traditional IQ. This is a question of discriminant validity.
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) seeks to determine if the number of factors and
the loadings of measured (indicator) variables on thcrn conform to what is cxpectcd on
the basis of prc-established theory. Indicator variables arc selected on the basis of
prior theory and factor analysis is used to see if they load as predicted on the expected
number of factors. The rcsearchcrs apriori assumption is that cacti factor (the number
and labels of which may be speciricd a prion) is associated with a speci red subset of
indicator variables. A minimum requircmcnt of confirmatory factor analysis is that
one hypothesize beforehand the number of factors in the modcl, but usually the
researcher %vill also posit expectations about which variables will load on which
factors (Kim and 1%fucllcr, 1978b). The researcher sccks to dcterminc, for instance, if
measures created to represent a Went variable rcally belong togcther.
271
Confirmatory factor analysis can mean the analysis of alternative measurement
(factor) models using a structural cquation-modclling package such as AMOS or
LISREL. While structural equation modelling is t)pically used to model causal
rclationships among latent variables (factors), it is equally possible to use structural
equation modelling to explore confirmatory factor analysis mcasurcmcnt models. nis
is done by removing from the model all straight arrows connecting latcnt variables,
adding curved arrows representing covariancc between every pair of latcnt variables,
and leaving in the straight arrows from each latcnt variable to its indicator variables as
well as leaving in the straight arrows from error and disturbance tcrms to their
respective variables. Such a mcasurcmcnt model is run like any oflicr model and is
evaluated like other models, using goodness of fit measures gcncmtcd by the
structural cquation-mod cl ling package.
7.8 Significance of the Results
7bc results of this study are important for several reasons. Firstly, undcrstanding the
relationship among situation strength, attribution, kedback and organisational culture
can help to reveal the psychological substructure, the intcrnal. world of
transformational leadcrs, namely what 'ýrnakccs them tick", and how thcy dcvclopcd
this way.
For example, if the situation strcngth in the organisation %%-as strong, cvcn then
transformational leaders still give discrction to their fallowcrs, to build conridcncc in
them and to do their jobs more cffectivcly. Sccondly, rcsults can help business
Inanagcrs or other pcrsonncl in leadership positions in manufacturing organisations,
like supervisors and others, a guidcline for building in thcrn transformational
Icadcrship characteristics, and how to have a good working rclationship with
followers, which is essential to achieve maximum output and organisational success.
As stated by Ashkanasy and Tse (2000) that Icadcr-mcmber rclationships can have a
profound impact on cmploycc motivation and work- cfrcctivcncss. Gcrstncr and Day
(1997) rcported that leadcr-member relationship quality is Mated to job pcrformancc,
satisfaction with supcrvision, overall satisfaction, commitmcnt, role conflict, role
clarity, member compctcncc, and t=ovcr intcntions. Rciclilicld (2001) notes
272
similarly that exemplary organisational leaders maintain high-quality relationships
with all stak-choldcrs, including employees.
Thirdly, it can also help business managcrstlcadcrs to create a culture, which is tile
key to organisational success. Last but not the least, the academician may bcncrit
through the findings of this study and discussing the findings of this study may
provide a concept of how to build good leadership characteristics and provide training
to increase transformational leadership characteristics among future lcadcrs in
manufacturing organisations. Academics can discuss with students about the outcome
of this research and propose how transformational leadership characteristics can be
developed as when they leave their educational institution to go into the industry, they
will expected to lead, understand how to lead, and possesses mcntal modcls of
successful leadership.
Hypotheses are expressed that would need further testing across a wide range of
manufacturing organisations and national cultures to be conclusively proved. As this
study was focussed on the research to find out the psychological substructure, the
internal world of transformational leaders, namcly what "makes thcm tick-,,. and how
they developed this way, an attempt was made in this respect.
The final purpose of this study was to cxplore the applicability of organisational
theories in Pakistan as mentioned in chapter I. Ile data obtaincd from five
manufacturing organisaflons in Pakistan using Podsak-off ct al (1990) trans formational
leadership inventory questionnaire for identification of transformational leaders. The
scale used to evaluate transformational leadership characteristics by PodsakofT ct al
was a 7-point scale ranging from I=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree, with 4 as
the neutral poinL which show neither agreement nor disagreement of the response. An
average score of more than 4 was considered to be more on the trans formational side
and a score less than 3 was towards the less trans formational side.
It was obscrvcd that 37 out of a total of 76 leadcrs in fliesc rivc manufacturing
organisations possess transformational leadership charactcristics. I lowcvcr, very fcw
leaders possessed high transformational leadcrsllip charactcristiCs, i. e., only 6 Out of

strengthen transformational Icadcrship charactcristics among Icadcrs. as well as to
train more leaders to develop transfortnational leadcrship charactcristics and to bcncrit
from the acquisition of modcrn Icadcrship techniqucs.
7.9 Summary
From the results of data collection, it was found that transformational leaders crCatc a
weak situation for their followers in manufacturing organisations. Trans formational
leaders favour giving discretion to their followers by setting less clear goals and
delegating decision making to followers to build conridcncc, which can help them to
facilitate their job performance without compromising the quality of the product.
However, they do not compromise on working discipline among followers.
Transformational leaders look at the end results and they arcn't constantly monitoring followers, instead they give freedom to followers to Unk how a job can be improved
or performed in a better way. The study showed that, transformational leaders create a
weak situation for their followers even if the organisational situational strength was
strong.
Transformational leaders elevate the desires of followers for achievement and scif-
dcvclopmcn4 while also promoting the development of groups and organisations.
instead of responding to the immediate self-interest of followers with either a carrot or
a stick, transformational leaders arouse in the individual a heightened awareness of
key issues, of the group and organisation, while increasing the confidcnce of
followers, and gradually moving them from concerns for existence to concerns for
achievement, growth and dcvclopmcnL By making external attribution for the cause
of poor performance, although sometimes it may be due to internal factors,
transformational leaders for the sake of increasing conridcncc and scIf-dcvclopment,
attribute causes of poor performance towards external factors. They arc leaders who
ignore follower's mistakes, and consider mistakes as a learning experience for
274

followcrs and make cxtcrnal attribution for the cause of poor pcrroniiancc in a
manufacturing organisation.
Trans fon-national leadcrs maintain a closc contact with tlicir followcrs and rcgularly
scck fccdback from thcm. By having rcgular contact with followcrs or having short
rcvic%v mcctings with followcrs, trans fon-national leadcrs actually try to maintain a
good working rclationship, and succccd in minimising the communication gap. Transformational Icadcrs scck morc fccdback from followcrs in manufacturing
organisations than non-transformational Icadcrs.
With respect to organisational culture, it can be stated that transformational leaders
rated more towards a clan type culture in their organisation, and clan culture is the
most favoured culture rated by trans formational leaders in manufacturing
organisations.
To conclude this chapter, results of the data analysis were discusscd. with rcfcrcncc to
research questions and literature review. I'lle cffcctivcness of the analysis techniques,
limitations of the study, and significance of the rcsults %ý-as also discusscd. Mic last
chapter is aimed at concluding this study and it will also suggest some guidelines for
future research work- and a model of transformational leadership as a rcsult of the out
come of this study.

Chapter 8 Conclusion and Implications
8.1 Conclusion
This study has tried to answer the research questions about trans formational leadership
that chapter 3 posed. Wherever possible, it has appealed to logical explanation and the
results of cxpcrimcntal findings to try to provide the answers. Clearly, much ground has
been covered but more needs to be done before we can fully understand and confidcritly
make use of the transformational leaders behaviour in manufacturing organisations.
Ibc main objective of this research was to study transformational Icadcrship in Pakistani
manufacturing organisations, and it was observed from data analysis that 52 out of a total
of 76 leaders from rive manufacturing organisations in Pakistani manufacturing
organisations possess transformational leadership characteristics. Ilowcvcr, few Icadcrs
possessed very high transformational leadership characteristics using the Podsakoff ct al (1990) tram formational leadership scale for the evaluations of transformational leadership characteristics. Irwas noted that only 6 out of 76 leaders scorcd more than 5
out of 7 on transformational leadership scale, 31 out of 76 leaders scored between 4 and 5
on transformational leadership scale, and 15 out of 76 leaders scored between 3 and 4 on
trans formational leadership scale as shown in appcndix-D. Ibcsc results show that transformational leadership does exist in Pakistani manufacturing
oTganisations, however there is a clear need to further strengthen transformational
leadership characteristics among leaders, as well as to train more leaders to develop
transformational leadership characteristics and modem leadership techniques.
The hypotheses developed as a result of outcome of this research can be helpful in
understanding the internal world of transformational leaders, that "makes them tick" and
transformational leaders bchaviours with their followers in a manufacturing environment. The aligrunent model developed as a result of data analysis is particularly useful for
deciding whether it would be possible to transforin leadership stylewithout changing the
organisational culture and situational strength preferences as shown in figure 7.4. For
exampic, if a leaderwould like to maintain his/her trans formational style of leadership,
helshe should change his/her preference for organisational culture to Adhocr-acy/ Clan
276
type. However, if the leader would like to maintain histlicr non- transrormational Icadcrship style, he/she should change the prcfcrcncc for organisational culture to Ificrarchy/ Markd type.
Tbc study has been an attempt at understanding the psychological substructure, the internal world of transformational leaders, namely what "makes them tick, " and how they developed this way (Popper & Maysclcss (2002). Kark & Shamir (2002) have also statcd, Grcscarch on trans formational leadership has not fully explored the qucstion of what arc the underlying processes and mechanisms by which trans formational leaders exert influence on followers and ultimately on performance. Judge and Bono (2000)
highlighted 'Even if one considers transformational leadership to be a bchavioural theory,
the origins of the bchaviours arc unclear. ' Transformational leaders bchaviours have been
explored in a manufacturing context with the concepts of situational strength, attribution
theory, feedback, and organisational culture in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. The importance of the study stems from the argument that transformational leaders
behaviour influences to a significant degree how follower's work arc given freedom to
work, in organisations. 71is is useful when human resource departments of
manufacturing organisations study issues of motivation, job satisfaction, employee
morale, and employee training. Knowing that the leadership is transformational can make it easier for change and innovation in organisations; as it is now known that
trans formational leaders will thus try to create a weak- situation where followers arc given discretion and freedom to take decisions in their work-, hence increasing follower's
morale, and confidence. In addition, in this research, it was noted that leaders who create
weak situafion for followers try to promote clan culture in their organisations. Ibc clan
culture is called a clan because of its similarity to a family-typc organisation. It was also
stated by Bass & Riggio (2006) that to facilitate growth of a transformational culture in
an organisaflon there should be a sense of purpose and a fccling of family. Ile basic
assumpfions in a clan culture arc that the environment can best be managed through
teamwork and follower dcvclopmcnL Ile clan culture of an organisation can have the
aim of developing a humane work environment, and a major task of leadership in a clan
culture is to empower followers and facilitate their participation, commitmcn% and
277
loyalty.
One of the major limitations when gcncmlising these rcsults is that all the companies
selected for the study were based in Pakistan with thrcc companics in public scctor and
two in the private sector, hence the cffcct of the national culture may be significant. Since
we do not have any other sample of organisations; for comparison. at this momcnt, the
researcher suggests that the results and discussion are valid for die scicctcd sample. Ilowcvcr with respect to the difference in the public, private, and Govcmmcnt
organisations, there seems to be no difference in the score of trans formati onal lcadcrS
from these organisations as shown in appcndix-D and appcndix-E. It has also bccn noted by Dumdum ct al (2002) that there is no significant diffcrcncc in the transformational
leadership score of leaders from public and private sector organisations.
The manufacturing leaders behaviour was evaluated with rcspect to attribution theory and fccdback received by leaders in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. It was found that
trans formational leaders generally made external attributions for the causes of poor
performance, and appreciated their followers as hard working and cfficicnt. Attribution
theory, which is used to explain how leaders judge people diffcrcntly, does depend upon
the way attributions are made about the causes of poor pcrformancc. Ilowcvcr, the
tendency is to underestimate the influence of external factors and ovcrcstimatc the
influence of internal factors (when making judgments about the causes of poor
performance). Moreover, it includes the tendency of individuals to attribute their own
successes to internal factors while putting the blame for failures on external factors.
Transformation, al leaders generally blame external factors for the causes of poor
performance, and so, they tend to improve the external cnviroruncnt to improve
performance, e. g., to make task structures flexible, expedite the availability of all rcquircd
material/ equipment, and minimise any possible cause of poor performance.
Another factor that was researched together with leadership style was the receiving of fccdback by Icadcrs in manufacturing orgailisations. According to Ilicbcrt & Klatt, (2001)
that feedback is generally acknowledged as an essential ingredient for cffcctivc
278
leadership. It is a fundamental part of the process or leading people towards the bchaviour
and performance appropriate to any given situation. Transformational Icadcrs generally
prefer to seek feedback directly from followers. 11cy build close contact with their followers by having casual meetings with followers, and discuss with them the progress
of day-to-day working. Transrormational leaders discuss problcms or difficulties with
their followers concerning their jobs and take appropriate action as required. Scarborough
(2001) stated that trans formational leaders talk openly to their followers about their bclicrs; what is right, wrong, and ethical whenever possible both within company context
and outside of the company context. As feedback strategies are pivotal to both involving
others and providing a sense of direction and achievement. Ixadcrs need to communicate in a variety of ways. For example, written communication, although extensive, often
cannot be accessed by followers due the difference in educational background or
problems in interpreting the written communication, which can also lead to developing
fcclings of followers of being excluded. However direct personal communication may
serve as a catalyst to followers, and cnablc inclusivity. By welcoming fccdback from
followers this helps leaders to cultivate a more authentic and powerful leadership
presence; enabling them to rcccivc new ideas, practices and relational support that they
can use to transform their experience of leading. Transformational leaders do not pinpoint
Tnistak-cs but transform the mistakes of followers into opportunities to learn.
8.2 Implications
Most of the cfforts in leadership research have focussed on examining relations between
leaders' behaviour (i. e., leadership style) and outcome Variables such as performance and
satisfaction (Bass, 1990). However, there has been less systematic and empirical work
conducted in so far as the understanding of the internal world and the development of leaders is concerned, particularly with regard to those leaders who arc not historical
leaders, but leaders at different levels of the hierarchy in organisations; individuals who
might be labelled "leaders in everyday lifc", Popper & Mayscless (2002).
The focus of this rcsearch was on transformational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing
279
organisations. For this, the researcher believes that thcrc is grcat, ), ct untapped transformational leadership potential in Pakistani manufacturing organisations. I lowcvcr.
thcrc is a need to train more manufacturing leaders in trans formational Icadcrship styles,
as transformational leadership is associated with high lcvcl or individual and
organisational performance, Barling, Weber & Kclloway (1996). One must ensure that
the Pakistani manufacturing sector benefits from transformational leadership and builds
cffectivc leader-followcr relations and confidence in its followcrs to ultim: Itcly improve
the performance and innovative capability of the manufacturing organisations. As
Andersen (1999) mentioned, the old attitude that leaders arc born, not made, is rcvcrsing,
and instead today's philosophy is to develop Icadcrs. Because leaders dcvclop and learn
through real leadership cxpcricnccs, it is very important to train Icadcrs at all levels,
including supervisors and persons at all Icadcrship levels in manufacturing organisations. Extensive transformational leadership training programs are available worldwide and can be undertaken by senior leaders of manufacturing organisations who can ultimatcly train
middle and lowcr hierarchy leaders in their organisations. Some useful wcbsitcs for
gaining access to training in transformational leadership are givcn below as a guideline:

w%vw. icadershipchallcnge. com
11owcYcr, business schoolstmanagcmcnt institutions arc also offering executive cducation
programs that can develop leadership skills in general, and transformational leadership, in
particular.
In addition, when developing a theoretical understanding, the hypotheses (if they can
continue to be supported) have important practical implications towards developing
transformational leadership characteristics among manufacturing leadcrs, especially in
280
Pakistani manufacturing organisations. By adopting the statcd hypothcscs; manuracturing leaders can strengthen their trans formational Icadership charactcristics. Findings from the data analysis are important for both acadcmicians and industrial traincrs. Results of the data analysis can be discussed with students of manufacturing cnginccring and can give
them the conccpt of how to build a transformational leadcrship style within thcmsclvcs,
so when they go into industries, they understand how to lead and possess firmly
cmbcddcd mcntal models of succcssful leadcrship.
8.3 Contribution to Knowledge
*rbc work and experiments described in this thesis contribute substantially to the main
aim and objcctivcs of this research which wcrc to study transformational leadership in
pakistani manufacturing organisations and to know about the psychological substructure,
the internal world of transformational leaders, namely what "makes thcm tick. " and how
they developed this way (Bass and Avolio). Judge and Bono (2000) have also highlighted
this in their statement 'Even if one considers transformational leadership to be a bchavioural theory, the origins of the behaviours; arc unclear. '
Transformational leaders' bchaviours were explored with respect to situational determinants, i. e., situational strength, attribution theory, feedback, and organisational
culture. In addition, transformational leadership in Pakistani manufacturing organisation
, was cxplorcd, as it was also pointed out by Avolio & Yammarino (2002) that leadership
research has become increasingly cross-cultural, exploring whether transrormational leadership is universal and how transformational leadership is moderated and mediated by
cultural differences. Some thoughts were developed that helped in understanding transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations. Hypotheses were stated in
terms of situational strength, attributional aspect, receiving of feedback by leaders, and
organisational culture with respect to trans formational leadership. These h)Pothcscs can
provide better understanding of transformational leaders behaviour in manufacturing
organisations, and guidelines for existing manufacturing leaders in terms or industrial
281
training, and for future manufacturing leaders in terms of academic
undcrstanding/knowledge of transformational behaviour in the manufacturing
environment.
According to Avolio & Yammarino (2002) there have only been a handful of studies,
which have examined how to develop transformational leadership. Many of these studies
have shown, through rigorous experiments, techniques of how to "create" constructs like
transformational leadership. There is considerably more attention required to
systematically manipulate leadership through such experimental interventions because
managers are looking for the "total solutions" to leadership development. Such
demonstrations will come about through rigorous experimentation. which %vill be an
important factor towards advancing the field of transformational leadership research. An
attempt has also been made by the author in this respect. These hypotheses also make a
practical contribution implicit in the selection of leaders, placement in leadership roles.
and development of transformational leadership in manufacturing organisations. As a
result of the data analysis a proposed model of transformational leadership in
manufacturing organisations is described in figure 8.1.

Adhocracy culturc is also a common culturc for trans formati onal Icadcrship.
rw- The alignment model dcvclopcd as a result of analysis of data for
organisational culture is useful for dcciding whahcr it would be
possible to transform leadership style without changing cultural and
situational strength preferences. As shown in figure 7.4. it can be
hypothcsisc that if the leader is in quadrant III and would like to
maintain his/her transformational style of leadcrship; he/she should
change the preference for culture to Adhocracy/ Clan. If the lcadcr
is in quadrant 11, and would like to maintain his/her non- transformational leadership style. he/she should change the
preference for culture to Hierarchy/ Market.
8.4 Success of the Research
Tbc study has been successful in studying transformational lcadcrship with the concepts
that leadership research has become increasingly cross-cultural, exploring whether
transformational leadership is universal and how transformational leadership is modcratcd
and mediated by cultural differences, in this context Pakistani manufacturing
organisations have been studied. The importance of the study stems from the assumption
that trans formational leadership behaviour can influence to a great degree how followers
work and arc given freedom to work in organisations. This is useful when the human
resource departments of manufacturing organisations study issues of motivation, job
285
satisfaction, employee moraic, and employee training. Knowing that thc leadcrShip is
transformational can makc it easier for changc and inno%-ation in organisations as it can bc inferred that trans formational leaders will thus try to create weak situations whcre in
cmployccs arc givcn discretion and freedom to take dccisions in thcir work licnce
increasing employee morale, and confidence. In addition, the Clan culture associated with
weak situations promotes team working and innovation. One of the major limitations for
gcncralising thcsc results is that all the companies scicctcd for the study wcrc based in
Pakistan, and this may bring out some differences in the results if they arc studied as an
cffcct of national cultures. The proposed alignment model nccds furthcr testing and would bcncrit by testing it within diffcrcnt national cultures. This would provide more support
and would help in gencralising it.
8.5 Recommendation For Future Work
It is recommended that since the outcomes of this study tire stated in the form of hypotheses, which require further testing (across a %%idc range of sampics and with different national cultures). The hypotheses, which are the outcome of this, rcscarch
nccds further testing by researchers. Ile statcd h)pothcscs nccds to be tcstcd by
Confirmatory Factor analysis w&ith a comparativcly largcr sample size to assess the
Convergent and Discriminant Validities of all the situational N-ariablcs or trans ronn3tion3l
leadership within this study. Convcrgcnt Validity is uscd to look at the diffcrcnccs in tcst
scorcs bctwcen groups of people who would be cxpectcd to score diffcrcntly on the tcst,
and Discriminant Validity in which the test scores are unrclatcd to tests and behaviours in
diffcrcnt domains.
Another direction for follow-up studies is the recommendation th3t, to further understand
transformational leaders' bchaviours in manufacturing organisations, more situational
%, ariables need to be investigated, e. g., how transformational leaders set examples for their
followers to follow; how transfomational leaders create new opportunities, develop,
articulate and inspire followers with his/her Nision of the future in manufacturing

organisations. In addition, furthcr situational dctcrminants likc compctcncc of IcadcrS,

of transformational Icadcrs in manufacturing organisations.
To sum up, this research is an attempt to address questions already raised in Bass's early book (Bass, 1985), namcly: who arc transformational leaders and how do they develop?
An attempt is made in understanding the behaviour of trans forma tional lcadcts', the internal world of these leaders, and what "makes them tick. " I'lic suggested directions and
concepts discussed here and their expansion can broaden our perspective an the less
visible and less observed aspects underlying many of the bch3viours and outcome
%-ariables so frequently investigated, mcasured and discussed in trans formational
leadership literature.

Abstract: This paper provides a new leadership alignment model Incorporating %-arious concepts focusing on leadership styles, organizational leadership. and situational strength. These concepts are brought together to Introduce a leadership model, which looks not only at Individual leadership and the effect of that on the organization but also at an organization as a system and how leadership behaviour and culture In Individual departments of sections In an organization can be explained. Based on the work of Podsakoff ct aL. a 23-ltcm measure of transformational leadership questionnaire was employed to evaluate transformational leaders. 339 followers from fi%v manufacturing companies %cre asked to complete the questionnaire about their leaders and It was analysed to Identify transformational leaders. The 76 manufacturing leaders then completed the organizational culturý assessment instrument and a situational strength questionnaire, which %%-as used to study the hypothesis.

I INTRODUMON
Leadership Is one of the most researched areas around the globe. It has gained importance In every walk of life from politics to business and from educa. tion to social organizations. Leaders must prepare to address the changes that will come about as a conse- quence of the globalization of the market. Business markets are becoming unstable, customer needs and desires are changing, and Information flow is becoming more diverse and complex 111. These changes require leaders and organizations that are able to respond to continuous changes In resources, technologies, marketing methods, and distribution systems.
This leadership project deals with the effect of enterprise context upon leadership behaviour and vice versa, in the manufacturing sector. There is little
theory or eAdence concerning the kinds of leader behaviour required In vaflous organizational settings. It Is likely that either different bcha%jours or differential importance of bcha%iours %jU be associated %ith differences In organizations. organ. izational %rariables such as size, organizational environment. type of strategy. technology, and org3. nizational forms are likely to impose different demands on leaders and thus rNuIre spedfic leader behaviours 121.

in this particular project. A study of the psychologi. cal focus will be made In order to support and provide towards understanding the effect of context upon the manufacturing leadership scenario.
2 RESEARCH CONTEXT
Burns (31 described leadership as 'a stream of evolving Interrelationships In which leaders are continuously evoking motivational responses from followers and modifying their behaviour as they meet responsiveness or resistance, in a ceaseless process of flow and counter flow'. According to Bass [4), transformational leaders possess good visioning, rhetorical, and Impression management skills, and they use these skills to develop strong emotional bonds with followers. The Idealized Influ-
ence aspect of transformational leadership Is very close to the charismatic leadership; however, according to Bass [4) there are major differences between transformational and charismatic leaders. Charisma is a necessary but not sufficient compo- nent of transformational leadership. Some leaders may be charismatic but may have no transforma- tional leadership characteristics. He used followers' perceptions or reactions to determine whether or not a leader was transformational.
Bums 131 described transformational leadership as a process in which 'leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of morality and motivation'. Transformational leaders seek to raise the consciousness of followers by appealing to higher Ideals and moral values such as liberty, jus- tice, equality, peace, and humanitarian, and not to baser emotions such as fear, greed, jealousy, or hatred. In terms of Maslow's 151 need hierarchy. transformational leaders activate higher-order needs in followers. Research by Krishnan 161 suggests that superior performance Is possible only through stimulating and motivating followers to higher levels of performance through transformational leadership. Superior performance is possible only by transforming followers' values. attitudes. and motives from a lower to a higher plane of arousal and maturity. Boehnke et aL 171 even found support for the claim that the main dimensions of leadership for extraordinary performance are universal. Studies have found significant and positive relatlon. ships between transformational leadership and the amount of effort that followers are willing to exert. satisfaction with the leader, ratings of job perfor- mance, and perceived effectiveness of leader 141. In
a research study conducted by Podsakoff et aL 181,
an examination was made of the Impact of transfor. mational leadership behaviour on organizational citizenship behaviour and the role of followers' trust
and satisfaction In that process. Six main transfor- mational behavlours were Identified as follows: articulating a vision. providing an approptlate model. fostering die acceptance of group goals, high performance expectations. Individualited sup- port. and Intellectual stimulation. In contrast. orga- nizational citizenship bchavlours that were tested were the follo%%ing- altruism. conscientiousness, sportsmanship, courtesy, and civic virtue. It Is reported from this study that. although transforma- tional leader beha%iours had no direct effect an orgi- rilzational citizenship behaviour. they Influenced both employee trust and satisfaction. Employee trust Influenced organizational citizenship bcha%iour. but employee satisfaction did not.
Transformational leadership could be potentially effective across a variety of situations. although certain contextual factors such as structure or the organization could facilitate the emergence and impact of transformational leadership 191. Bunu 131 also stated that transformational leadership may be exhibited by an)mne In the organization In any type of position. It may ln,. ol%v people Influencing peers and superiors as %-cH as Mowers. It can occur in the day-to-day acts of ordinary people. but It Is not ordinary or common. Bureaucratic organizations emphasize legitimate po%%cr and respect for rules and traditlom rather than Influence based either on exchange or inspiratiom
Transformational leadership has become a ncces. slty in the post-industrial %orld of wotk 1101. It has been specified as an important mechanism for Introducing organizational change and has rmcl%vd substantial research attention over the last two decades. As a result. there Is now considerable Lmo%%icdge about the transformational leadership phenomenon. It. however. has also generated several conceptual Issues. such as the need for more kno%i- edge about the relationship of transformational Ica. dership %ith business contextual Issues. as several researchers noted 111.121 that transformational Ica- dership research Is at a stage %Aicre Its conceptual exan-driation Is important. In the last two decades there has been accumulating eAdence to suggest that transformational leadership Is an Influential form of leadership that Is associated %ith high levels of Indhidual and organizational performance (see, for example, references 1131 and 1141). Ilo%vver. research on transformational leadership has not fully explored the question of whit am the unded), ing processes and mechanisms by which transforma- tional leaders exert their Influence on folloKvrs and ultimately on performance 114).

Influence processes'. In a study conducted by Scarborough 116) the emphasis to understand the underlying psychological processes was achieved by differentiating transformational leadership with transforming leadership. It is suggested In the study that transforming leadership as defined by Bums 131 requires a moral and ethical component to leadership behaviour, whereas transformational leadership as defined by Bass [41 contains more Inspiration and charisma and does not require the moral component of transforming leadership. in the context of this paper, the main focus is to gain Insight into the leadership of today's manufacturing companies within the perspective of the definition of transformational leadership. It is suggested that transformational leaders can have a dual effect. exerting their Influence on followers through the creation of personal Identification with the leader and social identification with the work unit, and that these different forms of identification can lead to differential outcomes.
Although Bass treated charisma and trans- formational leadership as distinct concepts, many researchers do not. The work of Tichy and DeVanna 1171 on transformational leadership, for example, talks about articulating a vision, which enthuses followers and creates considerable loyalty and trust. This sounds very similar to charisma. Therefore. while conceptually they may be distinct, much of the writing fails to make It clear that they are. Trice and Beyer (181 made the distinction between charisma and transformational leadership by suggesting that charismatic leaders often create new organizations, while transformational leaders change existing organizations.
An important source of insight into the dynamics of transformational leadership Is provided by research and theory on organizational culture 119). Organizational culture Is the 'glue' that holds the organization together as a source of Identity and distinctive competence [20). Can organizational cultures usefully be described in terms of how transactional or transformational they are 1211? The organizational culture is a learned pattern of behaviour, shared from one generation to the next 1221. It includes the values and assumptions shared by members about what Is rightý what Is good, and what is important. Most organizational scholars and observers now recognize that organ- izational culture has a powerful effect on the performance and long-term effectiveness of organ. izations. Empirical research has produced an impressive array of findings, demonstrating die Importance of culture to enhancing organizational performance 123-25). Kotter and lieskett 126) defined culture as a critical factor In long-term financial success.
3 ORGANIZAMONAL CULTURU
Most organizational scholars and observers recog. nize that organizational culture has a 1-4wctful offect on the performance and long-term cffcctlvcncss or organizations. It was not until the beginning or the 1980s that organizational scholars began paying scr- lous attention to the concept of culture (ice, for example. rercrences 1221 and 1271 to 1291). This Is one or the few areas, In fact. In which organizational scholars led practising managers In ldentif)ing a cru. cW factor affecting organizational performance. Organizational culture has been an area In which conceptual work and scholarship have provided gui. dance for managers as they have scarclied for ways to Improve the effectiveness of their organizations. Of course, there are many kinds or levels of culture that affect Individual and organizational behaviour. At the broadest level. a global culture. such as a world religion's culture or the culture of the Eastern hemisphere would be the highest level. Researchers such as 11ofstede 1301, Aiken and Bacharadi 1311. and Trompenaars 132) have reported marked differences between continents and countries based on certain key dimensions. For example. national differences exist among countries on the basis of universalism versus particularism. Individualism versus collectivism. neutrality versus emotionality, specificity versus diffuseness, focus an achievement versus ascription. focus on past versus present versus future, and an Internal focus versus an external focus 132).
There are many kinds or levels of culture that affect Individual and organizational behaviour. Researchers such as I lofstede 1301 and Trompcnaars 1321 have reported marked differences between continents and countries based on certain key dimensions. An organization's culture Is reflected by what is valued. the dominant leadership styles. the language and symbols, the procedures and routines, and the definitions of success that makes an organization unique 1331. Camcron and Quinn 1331 have derined four different types of organiza. tional culture. These are represented as adhocracy, clan. hierarchy, and market. They have suggested the different leadership styles or managerial styles pertaining to the respective organizational culture. When an organization Is dominated by the hierarchy culture. the leadership style sho%m Is that of organizing. controlling. monitoring. adminis. tering. coordinating. and maintaining effidency. %Vhcn an organization Is dominated by (lie market culture. the managers am good at dirmflng, produ- cing results. negotiating. and motivating others. When the organization is dominated by the clan culture. the most effectivc leaders are parent figures, team builders, facilitators. nurturcrs. mcntors. and

supporters. Effective leaders In organizations dominated by the adhocracy culture tend to be entrepreneurial, visionary, Innovative, creative, risk oriented, and focused on the future. Adhocracy leaders are rule breakers, for example. whereas hierarchy leaders are rule rein forcers. Clan leaders are warm and supportive, whereas market leaders are tough and demanding.
3.1 The hierarchy culture The organizational culture compatible with this form is characterized by a formalized and struct- ured place to worL Procedures govern what people do. Effective leaders are good coordinators and organizers. Maintaining a smooth-running organ. ization is Important. The long-term concerns of the organization are stability, predictability. and efficiency. Formal rules and policies hold the organization together. Large organizations and government agencies are generally dominated by a hierarchy culture, as evidenced by large numbers of standardized procedures, multiple hierarchical levels, and an emphasis on rule reinforcement.
32 The market ctdture Tbe term market Is not synonymous with the mar- keting function or with customers In the market- place. Rather, It refers to a type of organization. which functions as a market itselL It Is oriented towards the external environment instead of Internal affairs. It Is assumed that a clear purpose and an aggressive strategy lead to productivity and profitability.

commitment to employees. Iliese characteristics were evidenced by seml-autonomous work team% that received rewards on the basis of team (and not Individual) accomplishment and that hired and fired their own members, quality circles that encouraged workers to voice suggestions trgattling how to Improve their own work and the performance of the company, and an empowering cWronment for employees. Some basic assumptions In a clan culture are that the environment can best be managed through teamwork and employee dc-, -cl- opmcnt. customers are best thought of as partners. the organization Is In the business of dcmloping a humane work environment. and the major task of management Is to empower employees and to facilitate their participation. commitment. and loyalty.

presence of formal rules and regulations are a few of the situational variables that can affect the leader. ship process. The situation can constrain or facilitate a leader's action and leaders can change different aspects of a situation in order to be more effective 1351. The concept of situational strength has been used to study the effect of various concepts of the leadership behaviour 136-38). A framework of situational strength proposed by Mischel 1391 segre- gated situations affecting human behaviour Into two types: strong situation and weak situation. Strong situations are those In which most actors construe the situation In the same way, most draw similar conclusions as to appropriate responses. and most are motivated and able to respond. In strong situa. tions, the situation Itself provides Incentives to make the appropriate response, and the necessary skills to respond are present In most individuals. A red traffic light Is an example of a strong situation. Mischel 1391 argued that In strong situations, but not weak situations, situational factors dominate Individual differences in determining decision maker's courses of action. Thus, the behaviour of drivers at red lights Is better predicted by the colour of the light than by the traits and dispositions of Individual drivers, even though a few drivers do run red lights. Conversely. weak situations are defined by Mischel as those In which there is ambiguity about the meaning of the situation and the appropri- ateness of various responses, where Incentives for any particular response are unclear. and where the ability of Individuals to respond may vary. According to Mischel 1391, individual differences play a more significant role In such situations (e. g. a yellow traffic light), since no clear directions are provided by the situation.
Among the most successful leadership models Is a group characterized as contingency or situational models. The common theme of these models is that there Is not one best %vay to lead; effective lea- ders adapt to their behaviours to each unique situa- tion 140). Situations may be defined entirely In terms of rule. Rules may specify what should and should not happen. what should be worn. and how to deal with different situations [411. It is also likely that the type of employee In the strong-situation company will have adapted to that strong situation and will not challenge the system. This Is not true of the weak situation where the Individual is prob. ably more used to. and accepting of. ambiguity and a lack of a strong company policy and Is likely to deliver an Individual response alln to their own -ways of behaving In the particular situation. The trait approach Is about how people behave in no%cL ambiguous, or what Is called 'weak-' situations. Situa. tions that are governed by clearly specified rules, demands, or organizational policies, Le. 'strong'
situations, often minimize the effects that traits lia%v on beha%riour 135).
5 ]RESEARCH MODEL
An Important source of Insight Into the d)-namlcs of transformational leadership Is provided by feseatch and theory on organizational culture 1191. Schein 1421 provided the most comprrhenslvv revim and Integradon of this literature. Schein 1421 defined culture as the basic assumptions and belick shared by members ora group or organization. Most organi. zational scholars and obscr%-crs now recognize that organizational culture has a po%vtful effect on the performance and long-term effcolveness of organi- zations 1331. Bass 1431 presumed that the clan cul- ture provides more potential for transformational leadership, and the market culture for transactional leadership. As indicated by Katk and Shamir 1141 research on transformational leadership has not fully explored the mechardsms by %rhich transformational leaders exert their Influence on follo%ers and ulti- mately on performance. It Is thus necessary to gathcr data from manufacturing leaders to gain further insights Into transformational leadcrihip In manu- faciuring organizations. FIgure I presents a framework that represents organizational cultum leadership st)ie, and situational strength In a colic. sive structure. It consists of a four-quadrant grid organized around two factors, namcly leadership st)rIe and organizational culture. %ith die quadrants as follovwi:

Considering the concept of situational strength within the perspective of the framework It can be assumed that a combination of transformational leadership with adhocracy-clan culture (quadrant 1) would generate a weak situational strength In the organization providing more discretion and capability to the followers to manage their tasks. The combination of non-transformational and hierarchy-market (quadrant M would generate a strong situational strength In the organization, providing strict guidelines and structure to the followers for completing their tasks.
From this model the following can be hypothesized.
1. Transformational leaders prefer to work In an adhocratic or clan-type culture.
2. Non-transformational leaders prefer to work In hierarchyý-market-type cultures.
3. Transformational leaders prefer to create working environments with a weak situational strength for their followers.
4. Non-transformational leaders prefer to create working environments with a strong situatiobal strength for their followers.
The framework depicts the organizational per- spective In regard to the leadership style. culture, and the situational strength. it can be argued that there may be a certain organizational culture but dif- ferent departments In the organization may have their respective cultures. Also. each Individual department may be headed by a leader who may Influence the culture and situational strength of the department.

6 RESEARCH WMIODOLOGY
The sample selected for this research was a total of 339 followers consisting of leadcr-subordinate dyads at middle and lower levels or management for 76 Ica. dcrs from rive manufacturing companies In Pakistan. The organizations used In the testing Included three large heavy-w0ght vehicle manufacturing orgatilta. tions, one medium-urcight vehicle manufacturing organization. and one discrete parts manufacturing Industry. Three organizations of the sample were located In the western parts of Pakistan and two organizations were located In the eastern liarts of Pakistan. Three of die organizations arc government owned, whereas the other two arc privately owned. The large heavy-%%eight vehicles manufacturing organization has In the range of 300-500 employees with 15-25 leaders, the mcclium-w0ght vehicles manufacturing organization has 100-150 employees with 10-15 leaders, and the discrete parts manufac. turing Industry has 30-M employees urith 5-8 Ica. ders. To manage the study within die time frame of the research work. It was decided to select a sample size of rive manufacturing organizations Including small to large manufacturing "c organizations based on a convcnience sampling strategy 14 4 1.

(For more Information on the questionnaire contact S.

of the sample was considered to be non-transforma. tional. Out of the sample of 76 leaders, thus 37 leaders were considered to be transformational. The leaders who had a score between 3.0 and 4.0 could be considered to be transformational on the basis of certain criteria, but In this research It was decided to consider only those leaders as transfor. mational who had a score over 4.0.
The 76 leaders were then asked to complete two questionnaires. (For more Information on the ques- tionnaire contact S. Dani@lboro. acuk. ) One dealt with the Issues of situational strength, focusing on the aspects of discretion that leaders provided to their followers, whereas the other was the OCAI questionnaire developed by Cameron and Quinn. The OCAI questionnaire was used to obtain an insight into the organizational culture based on the OCAI typology, namely adhocracy, clan, hierarchi- cal, and market. The respondents were asked to complete the OCAI questionnaire to depict their per- ception of the culture In their organizations. The questionnaire measuring situation strength con- sisted of six questions, which looked at the level of discretion provided by the leaders to their followers to take decisions, monitoring of followers, having a clear standard of praise and punishment. setting of clear goals, and level of discipline In the working environment. A rive-point scale ranging from I (does not emphasize) to 5 (strongly emphasim) was used. Leaders having a score of more than 18.0 (mean score, 18.0) were termed to perceive the situa- tions that they work In as having a strong situational strength. Leaders having a score of less than 18.0 were termed to perceive the situations that they work in as having a weak situational strength. For leaders with scores of 18 and 19, the score for the question on discretion ruled whether they were in the strong or weak category. Where the question on discretion generated a high score on emphasizing discretion given to followers, the situation was termed as weak and, where there was no discretion given to followers, the situation was termed as strong.

7 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
After analysing the questionnaires, the data were inserted into the research model (Fig. 3). It can be clearly seen that the preference of transformational leaders Is to create a working environment with a weak situational strength for their followers. It can also be Inferred that non-transformational leaders would generally prefer to create working environ. ments with a strong situational strength for their followers. It can also be seen that the results did not provide a complete correlation between type of

7he results from the OCAI questionnaire shm%ed some discrepancy between die hypothesized research model and the actual data. Vie hypothesis that transformational leaders prefer to work In adho. cratic or clan-type culture has been supported by die data: 94.5 per cent of the transformadonal leaders showed a preference for a clan culture. whereas only 5.5 per cent showed a preference for a hierarchy- market culture.

is also important as the respondents who were termed as leaders were not only the top management but also were project directors, general managers, deputy general managers, officers in charge of manufacturing units, managers, and foremen. The respondents were termed as leaders in the context of this research by virtue of being in charge of a working group and had people reporting to them. Hence, the systems model is important as it depicts that, even though a leader (top management) has a certain preference for organizational culture and situational strength, a leader (as defined in the context of this research) of a section in the organiza- tion may have his or her own preference for culture and situational strength. This may lead to the leader in the section either changing their preference in order to align with the organizational preference (top management) or maintaining the difference but finding a way to align with the organizational goals. The top management, however, if not satisfied with the difference in the preferences between the section and the organization, either may replace the leader with one who maintains their preference or would initiate to transform the leadership style of the section leader.
The research model is particularly useful for deciding whether it would be possible to transform leadership style without changing cultural and situa- tional strength preferences. As shown in Fig. 4, it can be hypothesized that, if the leader is in quadrant III and would like to maintain his or her transforma- tional style of leadership, he or she should change the preference for culture to adhocracy-clan. if the leader is in quadrant II and would like to maintain his or her non-transformational leadership style, he
or she should change the preference for ctflture to hierarchy-market.

Fig. 4 The alignment model of leadership
situational strength and organizational culture. The importance of the study stems from the assumption that transformational leadership behaviour can influence to a great degree how followers work and are given freedom to work in organizations. 111his is useful when the human resource departments of manufacturing companies study issues of moti- vation, Job satisfaction. employee momle, and employee training. Knowing that the leadership is transformational can make it easier for change and innovation In organizations as It can be Inferred that transformational leaders will thus try to create weak situations where employem are given discre- tion and freedom to take decisions In their work. hence increasing employee morale and confidence. Also, the clan culture associated with weak situa- tions promotes team working and Innovation. One of the major limitations for generalizing these results is that all the companies selected for the study were based in Pakistan. and this may bring out some dif- ferences in the results if they are studied as an effect of national cultures. The proposed alignment model needs further testing and would benefit by testing it within different national cultures. This would pro- vide more support and would help to generalize it.
