Phychometric measure used
The following two psychometric instrument measures were used for data collection
1. Organizational leadership questionnaire (OLQ). The OLQ was developed by pareek(2003) and it has 12 situations/statements to which the respondent is asked to respond.this scale is based on hersey and blanchard’s (1982) conceptualization of leadership in organizational context whereby they proposed four style of leadership. The style 1 was named “directive” and person displaying this leadership style is considered to be high on regulating but low on nurturance behavior. The style 2 was named “supportive” and is characterized by leader to be hight on both regulation and nurturance behavior which is low on regulation but high on nurturance. Finally, the style 4 was named “delegating” which is characterized by leadership behavior that is low on both regulation and nuturaance. Pareek (2003) also provides norms of the scale to be used for interpretation of the finding of the study. To know the internal consistency of the OLQ scale, the invstigatop calculated Cronbach alpha coefficients for all the four styles of leadership which varies from 0.744 to 0.801. these obtained alpha coefficients indicate that the instrument used to measure leadership styles possesses relativeky hight amounts of reliability coefficients and they have been depicted in table l.
