TYPE AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP - COMPARISON OF SUBORDINATES' AND LEADERS' RATINGS

Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the personality types, which have given themselves and/or got from subordinates, the highest points concerning transformational leadership. The high results (25% quartiles) were compared to the rest. Concerning leaders' own ratings of highly transformational leaders were ESTJ, ENFP, ENTJ, ENTP, ESFP and ESFJ. Subordinates' opinion indicated that those are ESFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ and ENTP. When comparing these subordinates' ratings with the leaders' own, the ISTJ, ENTJ, ENFP and ESTJ leaders do not have the same picture of themselves as their subordinates have of them. Thus, these results indicate that there are differences with regard to how the different personality types perceive themselves and are perceived concerning transformational leadership. When looking at the results overall, leaders' self-ratings indicated that ENTJs are among the highest in transformational leadership. On the contrary, subordinates' appraisals indicated, that most transformational are ESFJ leaders. The comparison of subordinates' and leaders' ratings indicated that ENTJs tend to overrate themselves and ISTJ s to underrate themselves.
