Abstract
The authors used measures of leadership, locus of control, and support for innovation to predict the consolidated-unit performance of 78 man agers. Results revealed that 3 transformational-leadership measures we re associated with a higher internal locus of control and significantl y and positively predicted business-unit performance over a 1-year int erval. Transactional measures of leadership, including contingent rewa rd and management by exception (active and passive), were each negativ ely related to business-unit performance. Causal relationships between the transformational-leadership behaviors and unit performance were m oderated by the level of support for innovation in the business unit.
