Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Transformational Leadership Behaviour Inventory (TLBI) (Podsakoff et al. 1990) and the Leader Reward and Punishment Questionnaire (LRPQ) (Podsakoff et al. 1984) as one transformational-transactional leadership instrument in the Estonian context. The sample group (N=797) consisted of military (N=373) and non-military (N=424) personnel who completed the Estonian versions of the TLBI & LRPQ scales. Both exploratory (EFA) and confi rmatory factor (CFA) analyses were used to analyse the data. The results validated the use of the original ten-dimensional structure: Articulating a Vision, Providing an Appropriate Model, Fostering the Acceptance of Group Goals, High Performance Expectations, Individualized Support, Intellectual Stimulation from the transformational leadership side and Contingent Reward behaviour, Contingent Punishment behaviour, Non-Contingent Punishment behaviour, Non-Contingent Reward behaviour from the transactional leadership side.
