| dc.description.abstract | Despite long-standing claims that traits are ineffective predictors of leadership, some recent studies have demonstrated empirical support for traits as significant predictors of leadership effectiveness (e.g., Judge, Bono, Ilies, & Werner, 2001). This study examined the relationship between Dweck's (1986) goal orientation and leadership effectiveness. Building on Locke's (1991) Individual Characteristics Model of Leadership and Chan and Drasgow's (2001) Theory of Leader Development and Leadership Performance, the relationship between goal orientation and leadership effectiveness is hypothesized to be mediated by leadership self-efficacy and motivation to lead. Several individual difference measures were administered to 100 four-person teams. The teams completed a task designed for individuals to demonstrate their leadership abilities. The results provided support for an indirect relationship between goal orientation and leadership effectiveness. Implications for future research and practice are discussed. | en |
