Introduction
The aim of this term paper is to discuss the review article Relationships between Leader Reward and Punishment Behavior and Group Processes and Productivity by Philip M. Podsakoff and William D. Todor. The article was published in Journal of Management in 1985.
The leadership issue had been discussed since decades. After the failure of Traits theories, which considered personal characteristics and qualities as the main attribute of a leader, the Behavioural theories developed in late 40´s to 60´s (Robbins, Judge & Campbell, 2010). These theories proposed that what makes difference between leader and non-leaders is a specific behaviour.
Since then, many different leadership theories and approaches were developed. One of them differentiates between Transactional and Transformational leadership. Robbins, Judge and Campbell (2010) defines Transactional leaders as leaders who “guides and or motivate their followers in the direction of established goals by clarifying role and task requirements” while Transformational leaders “inspire followers to transcend their own self-interest for the good of the organization and are capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on followers”(p. 345).
