Transactional Leadership - clear expectations + monitoring + rewards/corrections. (1) CONTINGENT REWARD (CR): the leader CLARIFIES EXPECTATIONS + provides RECOGNITION + REWARDS contingent on performance; agreements + objectives + standards + measurable goals + reward systems aligned with outcomes; positively + constructively recognizes goal achievement; sometimes called CONSTRUCTIVE TRANSACTIONAL. (2) MANAGEMENT-BY-EXCEPTION ACTIVE (MBEA): the leader PROACTIVELY MONITORS performance + INTERVENES TO CORRECT deviations + failures + before they become serious; ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT + early-warning systems + corrective action; can be effective when paired with transformational + but excessive monitoring + micromanagement may have negative effects. TRANSACTIONAL POSITIONING: less effective than transformational + but MORE EFFECTIVE THAN PASSIVE-AVOIDANT; effective transactional + transformational coexist + augment; in high-uncertainty + creative + knowledge-work contexts transformational dominates; in routine + standardised + safety-critical contexts transactional is essential. CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS: contingent reward + recognition styles vary cross-culturally; high-power-distance cultures may need different forms.
