Supervisors have primary responsibilities for achieving the
task and maintaining the wellbeing of the team. As they
structure, coordinate, and facilitate work activities, both
transactional and transformational leadership behaviours are
very relevant at this level of management. Zohar18 19 has
shown by using careful worksite observations and monitoring
in manufacturing that when supervisors are encouraged
to talk more about safety (transformational) and this is
reinforced (transactional), then safety behaviours, such as
wearing protective equipment, improve.
