Abstract

Previous research reveals that when leaders enact environmentally specific transformational leadership, they positively affect corporate environmental responsibility. While this research provides important insights into how leaders create and shape corporate environmental responsibility, confidence in the validity of these findings is limited because the psychometric properties of the measurement of environmentally specific transformational leadership has not yet been assessed. The goal of the current research was to develop and validate a measure of environmentally specific transformational leadership. To this end, four studies were conducted, which together produced a reliable and valid scale from which future research can stem. Theoretical and practical limitations are discussed.

Due to copyright restrictions, sample items from the MLQ or the modified version of the MLQ cannot be provided.

Results from the Levene’s test revealed unequal variances between the three conditions for all items, except ETFL 6, 10 and 13. In these cases, the Welch’s F statistic was used.

Due to copyright restrictions, sample items from the MLQ cannot be provided.

Given the insignificant findings from the correlational analyses that tested the relationships between gender and all of the ETFL sub-scales and the short-form scale, the t test was conducted using the overall measure only.
