Discussion
First of all, PLCQ-OR’s good model fit provides first evidence for a onedimensional
structure of leadership communication as perceived by followers.
Regarding the path coefficients in this model, Item 3 of the PLCQ-OR—reflecting
communication satisfaction—showed the lowest loading (.34). This may be due to
the communication satisfaction in this sample or the item wording. We addressed
this issue in Study 4.
