现有的变革型领导研究主要集中在领导者的行为及其对追随者的影响。作者通过考察表现出变革型领导行为的管理者的社交网络来扩展这项研究。他们关注的是管理者建立的关系网络，以及他们是否在组织的非正式社交网络中担任关键职位。在一项实地研究中，作者使用了来自6个组织的39名管理人员和130名非管理人员的数据，发现在变革型领导方面得分较高的管理人员往往在组织建议和影响网络中占据更多的核心位置。此外，这些领导人的直接报告在非正式组织网络中也更重要。这些结果说明了一种方式，表现出变革型领导行为的管理者可能会在组织中发挥影响力。
Existing transformational leadership research has focused primarily on the behaviors of leaders and their effects on followers. The authors extended this research by examining the social networks of managers who exhibit transformational leadership behaviors. Their focus was on the network of relationships that managers develop and whether they hold key positions in the organization's informal social networks. In a field study using data from 39 managers and 130 nonmanagement employees of 6 organizations, the authors found that managers who score higher on transformational leadership tend to hold more central positions in organizational advice and influence networks. Furthermore, the direct reports of these leaders were also more central in informal organizational networks. These results illuminate one of the ways that managers who exhibit transformational leadership behaviors may exert influence in organizations.
