Abstract
Contingent-reward behavior and charismatic leadership were examined in this study of 186 United States Navy officers. As expected, contingent-reward behavior was significantly related to multiple measures of leader effectiveness. Hierarchical regression was used to show how charisma added unique variance beyond that of contingent-reward behavior for understanding leader effectiveness. Conversely, contingent-reward behavior had no effect beyond that of charisma. Results were discussed in terms of the potential need for charismatic leadership at various management levels to ensure effectiveness.
