Abstract

Is leadership a cause or result of group performance? Quasi-experimental design results from 420 subjects confirm attribution theory hypotheses that identical initiating structure and consideration style leaders are evaluated and described differently, depending on whether their groups are high or low performing. It is a result as much as a cause.
