Abstract
Correlations were computed between airplane commanders scores on the and portions of a Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire and (1) superior's ratings of their combat performance and (2) crew's Satisfaction Index. A trend toward negative correlations was found between the superior's ratings and the Consideration scores, and positive correlations between these ratings and the Initiating Structure scores. Conversely, the correlations between the Satisfaction Index and the dimension scores showed a trend in the opposite direction. Thus, the superiors and subordinates were inclined to evaluate oppositely the contribution of these dimensions to the effectiveness of leadership.
