Organizational level
Organizational level is measured, similar to the previous chapter, by means of the number of
subordinates reporting to the respective leader. Supervisors with between 1 and 10 subordinates were
labeled lower-level managers, supervisors with between 11 and 49 subordinates were considered
middle managers and supervisors with 50 or more subordinates were considered top-level managers.
The assignment of the focal managers across organizational levels was cross-checked on the basis of

organization.

factor structure for transformational leadership resulted in an acceptable fit. X2 = 839.799, df = 524,
p<.001, RMSEA = .058, AIC =- 12081.301, SRMR = .058. The descriptive statistics, internal
reliability and intercorrelations are shown in Table 8.1.
