Abstract

This paper sets out to provide evidence of the convergent and discriminant validity of a recently developed leadership questionnaire, the Transformational Leadership Questionnaire (Local Government Version) (TLQ‐LGV). Evidence is presented, from a random, stratified sample of 1,464 male and female managers, working in local government, that each of the scales was significantly correlated with each of five criterion variables, even when the sample was divided by level, sex, and level x sex. Multiple regression analyses suggested differential patterns of relationships between the scales and the criterion variables among different groups and sub‐groups of managers, divided by level, sex, and level x sex. These latter data were interpreted as evidence of the discriminant validity of the instrument.
