| Abstract
|
:
|
Leadership entails leading and following. However, unlike leaders, not much has been studied about followers and the question of whether how people follow determines how they lead had not been conclusively established. Specifically, it was not known if the five dimensions of courageous followership behavior predict transformational and transactional leadership styles. A convenience sampling method was used to collect data from the target population of Christian lay leaders in Nigeria. The final sample contained 114 participants. The study was based on the courageous followership theory, the followership theory, and the full range of leadership model. The researcher used multiple linear regression analysis to address two research questions that examined whether the five dimensions of courageous followership behavior predict transformational and transactional leadership styles. The results revealed that the overall model of courageous followership behavior was statistically significant in predicting transformational leadership, F(5, 108) = 16.76, p = .001, and accounted for 43.7% of the variance in the transformational leadership score. The overall model of courageous followership was also statistically significant in predicting transactional leadership F(5, 108) = 4.06, p = .002, and accounted for 15.8% of the variance in the transactional leadership score. However, only four dimensions of courageous followership behavior significantly predicted transformational leadership style and two dimensions of courageous followership behavior significantly predicted transactional leadership style of Christian lay leaders in Nigeria.
