In order to determine which leadership dimension added most predictive value, all 9 variables (4
strategic leadership and 5 transformational leadership) variables were added into a regression using
the stepwise method. The results are presented in Table 8.2, showing only those variables that would
improve prediction of job satisfaction at an appropriate F-ratio level (F to enter equal to or greater
than 3.96).
