Abstract

Questionnaires were developed and refined to measure two dimensions of leadership attitudes, "Consideration," and "Initiating Structure." Comparisons of scores on various forms of the questionnaires among various levels of supervision were made, and interpreted. Comparisons between workers and foremen, leading workers and leading foremen, were also made. Departmental grievance rates were related to questionnaire scores.
