Present data are gathered from a sample of civil population (n = 1003) and military cadets (n =488). The main objective of this study was to obtain the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the Organizational Description Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1992). In reference to reliability, results show good levels of internal consistency for both dimensions, although they are a little bit lower for the transactional culture dimension for both populations. In reference to validity, the evidence allows affirming that the test is valid. The factorial analysis showed that the items group in 2 factors that respond to the theoretical proposal made by the authors of the test. Lastly, we have found differences between leaders and followers on the perception of organizatio-nal culture for both populations.

The generalizability of a theoretical model is studied in several regions of Argentina. Participants were 1009 people (440 men and 569 women) from four regions. We analyzed the differences in the variable values at work to confirm if the regions were culturally different from each other. Next we designed a theoretical model where the variables were: discrepancy between implicit theories, quality of relationship with the superior and wellbeing in the organization. Results showed that the four regions displayed differences on values orientations. The Northwest and Patagonia regions showed the greatest differences in comparison with the two remaining regions. The model is partially generalizable since there are differences between regions in some of the proposed theoretical relations.

Basados en la teoría de Bass (1985, 1990), se adaptó el cuestionario M.L.Q. (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) para la evaluación de los estilos de liderazgo civiles y militares argentinos. Se recogieron datos de 363 sujetos, civiles (53%) y militares cadetes y oficiales (47%). Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio y luego confirmatorio resultando una escala de 34 ítems que responde a un modelo de siete factores agrupados en tres estilos de liderazgo. Los resultados señalan mejor ajuste del modelo para población civil que para militar. Se encontraron diferencias individuales entre los estilos de liderazgo de civiles y militares. En los primeros predominan las características relacionadas con el intercambio y la negociación. En los ámbitos militares predomina el estilo de liderazgo transformacional. En ambas poblaciones las características más valoradas de los lí...

Based on Bass' Jeadership model (1985, 1990), the M.L.Q. questionnaire (Multifactor Leader­ship Questionnaire) was validated for the assessment of Jeadership styles in Argentinean civil and military population. Data were gathered (N=363) on military (cadets and officers) and ci­ vilian population. A factorial structure of seven grouped in three styles of Jeadership (34 items) was obtained and it was confirmed by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The results point out better adjustment of the obtained pattern for civil population than for military. Individual differences were also found among the styles of leadership of civilians and military population. In the first ones characteristics related with the exchange and the negotiation prevail. In the mi­ litary environments The style of transformational Jeadership prevails in military environments. In both populations valued...
