✦ Synopsis

This study examined attributes of leaders that in¯uenced their use of contingent and noncontingent punishment and the results of using punishment on leader eectiveness. Results indicated that leaders with higher levels of physical ®tness and moral reasoning were more likely to use contingent punishment, while those with lower self-esteem were more likely to use noncontingent punishment. Noncontingent punishment negatively impacted leader eectiveness, while contingent punishment positively impacted leader eectiveness.
