Summary
Conceptual parallels among various taxonomies of leader behavior descriptions are investigated empirically, and a cybernetic framework is employed as a guide to the interpretation of factors. 300 respondents from 10 organizations completed a leader behavior description questionnaire consisting of 73 items assembled from standard sources. A hierarchical analysis was performed by rotating (varimax) successively two, then three, and so on, up to 12 principal components. At each level, interpretable solutions reflecting familiar leader behavior factors emerged. Factoring the matrix of intercorrelations generated by oblique rotations of the original 12 principal components produced two clusters. (Modified author abstract).
