The purpose of this research was to serve as a pilot study to investigate the association between occupational therapy practitioners' perceptions of rehabilitation managers' leadership styles and the outcomes of leadership. Data for this study were collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire Form 5X and a self-designed demographic questionnaire. The study working sample included 73 occupational therapy practitioners. Major findings from the study indicate that overall, transformational, and transactional leadership styles are associated with leadership outcomes. Transformational leadership had a significant (p < 0.01) positive association with the leadership outcomes, whereas transactional leadership had a significant (p < 0.01) negative association with the leadership outcomes. The contingent reward leadership attribute (although belonging to the transactional leadership construct) was found to be positively associated with leadership outcomes, similar to the transformational leadership constructs. The results of this research suggest that transformational leadership styles have a positive association with leadership outcomes, whereas transactional leadership styles have a negative association, excluding the positive transactional contingent reward attribute. A larger, random sample is recommended as a follow-up study.
本研究的目的是作为一项试点研究，以调查职业治疗从业者对康复管理人员领导风格的认知与领导结果之间的关联。本研究的数据通过使用多因素领导问卷表5X和自行设计的人口统计学问卷收集。该研究的工作样本包括73名职业治疗从业者。该研究的主要发现表明，总体而言，变革型和交易型领导风格与领导结果相关。变革型领导与领导结果呈显著（p < 0.01）正相关，而交易型领导与领导结果呈显著（p < 0.01）负相关。发现权变奖励领导属性（尽管属于交易型领导结构）与领导结果呈正相关，类似于变革型领导结构。本研究结果表明，变革型领导风格与领导结果呈正相关，而交易型领导风格呈负相关，但积极的交易型权变奖励属性除外。建议后续研究采用更大的随机样本。
