Abstract

Though a number of models of leadership have been presented so far, they are almost exclusively focused on setting up the relation of such variables that have influence on the leadership effect. Therefore, the precise definition of leadership effect was usually less noticed than other variables in the leadership research. In this study the leadership effect was tried to define operationally concerning military groups, and the empirical data were factor-analysed. As a result, two independent leadership effects were extracted, which could be named as 'positive' and 'negative' effcts. This concept of two dimensional leadership effects implies 2 points: first, to the contrary of one­-dimensional concept, leaders must seperately take notice of the 2 aspects as leadership goal, in order to reach effective leadership. And second, this result indirectly suggests a new direction in order to develop a more efficient leadership model.
