Hierarchical Level and Leadership Style: On the Resolution of a Contradiction.

Abstract

Previous research regarding the effects of hierarchical level on leadership behavior has produced seemingly contradictory results. The methodologies employed in the present investigation were able to produce both patterns of results from data obtained in the same organization. Analysis of data collected from managers at four different hierarchical levels and within the same level show opposite relationships. Reasons for the incongruity and its implications for the organization are discussed.
