The Relationship

This study tested the hypothesis that “reciprocal leniency” moderated the relationship between Consideration scores on the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire—Form XII and performance ratings. Reciprocal leniency was defined as a response style in which scores on the questionnaire are affected by harsh, lenient, or fair ratings made by the supervisor. Results partially supported the hypothesis.

Behavior Description

A factor analysis of responses from 136 Georgia public school superintendents to the short-form Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire yielded a single factor, Global Perceptions of Leader Behavior, instead of the usual two factors, Consideration and Initiating Structure. This factor accounted for 41.1% of the variance. The two factors were correlated .69. Plausible interpretations of the nonindependence for this population were discussed.

The Impact

Two previous investigations revealed that grouping (rather than randomizing) questionnaire items measuring similar constructs (in subsections) resulted in impaired discriminant validity (Schrie-sheim and DeNisi, 1980) and that grouping also strengthened the impact of leniency response bias (Schriesheim, 1981). This study reanalyzed the data of the two earlier investigations to determine whether the impairment of the discriminant validity of the grouped questionnaire items might be due to spurious correlations attributable to leniency. The responses of thirty discount store employees to a questionnaire containing grouped items measuring leniency in leader behavior descriptions (Schriesheim, 1980) and four similar constructs from the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (Stogdill, 1963) and Four-Factor Theory Questionnaire (Taylor and Bowers, 1972) were examined for convergent and discriminant validity by using a traditional zero-order multitrait-multimethod correlation matrix analysis (Campbell and Fiske, 1959) and by statistically controlling the effect of spurious correlation attributable to leniency (by computing a first-order partial multitrait-multimethod correlation matrix, controlling for leniency as measured by the leniency scale). It was found that controlling for leniency resulted in a slight decrement in convergent validity, but that discriminant validity was substantially improved. Implications for questionnaire validity and further research are discussed.
