“…We assessed task performance using two separate indices, one based on ratings provided by squad peers and the other from drill sergeants. For both sets of ratings we used three items adapted from Hoffman, Muraca, Heffner, Hendricks, and Hunter (2008) including, “This trainee exhibits strong basic soldier skills,” “This trainee effectively performs all training tasks,” and “This trainee behaves in a way that represents Army ideals and values.” Respondents rated them on a 7-point Likert-type scale, ranging from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 7 ( strongly agree ). To measure peer-rated task performance, respondents were asked to rate each other’s task performance “overall, based on what you have observed during this training program” using the same three items as the drill sergeants.…”

We develop a model in which transformational leadership bolsters followers' internalization of core organizational values, which in turn influences their performance and willingness to report peers' transgressions. The model also specifies a distinct process wherein transformational leadership enhances follower performance by promoting followers' role self-efficacy. We tested the model on 2 large units (i.e., companies) of soldiers undergoing training and socialization. The study bracketed changes in soldiers' internalization of the organizational values and role self-efficacy over a 14-week period. The results support the widely held but empirically unestablished views that transformational leadership promotes change in value internalization and that this partially explains its influence on follower performance. Findings also indicate a distinct intervening process through which transformational leadership promotes performance by enhancing followers' beliefs in their own capabilities (i.e., self-efficacy). This research thus shows that 2 key processes both contribute to the understanding of how transformational leadership transforms followers and influences their behavior.
