Purpose – The correlation between transformational and contingent reward leadership behaviors
and desired organizational outcomes is well established. The degree to which these behaviors can be
taught and deployed for organizational benefit is considerably less well documented. Explored even
less is the extent to which transformational leadership training impacts desired organizational
outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which the positive correlational
relationship among transformational leadership, organizational outcomes, and productivity,
extensively reported in the leadership literature, can be affirmed.
