PM-LEADERSHIP PATTERNS AND PERCEPTUAL RESPONSES (I)

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE MEASURE FORTHE EMOIIONALITY TO LEADERS THROUGH PERCEPTUAL RESPONSES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between each of the PM-leadership patterns and a member's emotion toward his leader. To measure the member's emotion toward his leader, the authors used his perceptual responses to a photograph of his leader on the size-distance table. As a result, those members who worked under the PM and M leadership loaded the positive emotionality to the photograph of their leader, and those who worked under the P leadership loaded the negative emotionality to it.
