of analysis (i.e., individual or group); (c) type of participant (i.e., student, military, or worker); and (d) type of performance measurement (i.e., objective or subjective). Based on the correlational data from the studies in the research sample, the meta-analysis synthesis yielded medium to strong positive correlations between a transforming leadership style and follower performance and satisfaction. Smaller, but statistically significant, positive effect sizes from the experiments included in the study supported these findings. The four study characteristics explained little of the residual variance in the data. Research design and participant type explained a small, but statistically significant, amount of the unexplained variation. However, the impact of subject of analysis and type of performance measurement on the residual variance in the data was not statistically significant. Dr. Levasseur's study concludes with a series of recommendations based on these findings for further study and for proactive leadership actions to implement transforming leadership in organizations and thereby effect positive social change.
