Regarding transactional leadership behaviors,
the statistical test did not confirm a positive relationship
with shared vision. Hypothesis 4B was not
supported. In the interviews, employees did not
say much about transactional leadership behaviors.
In this organization, leaders displayed more transformational
behaviors than transactional behaviors.
Furthermore, transactional leaders normally focus
on getting things done, paying attention to mistakes
and waiting for things to go wrong before
taking action (Brower, 2011); therefore, they tend
to make employees focus on short-term objectives.
Consequently, they may not be able to make staff
have a shared vision.
