The main conclusions are attained using data gathered via a previously tested and validated questionnaire. Overall, we conclude that subordinates don’t consider that their leaders show behaviors that they can associate with a totally positive and effective leadership although they are pleased with the fact that they are not extremely controllers and that they seek to do what the majority of the subordinates wants.engLeadershipPositive OrganizationsPublic Administration OfficeZoom StarPaired-Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank TestAscendant Hierarchical Cluster Analysisjournal article
