| Abstract | It has been long argued that female leaders exhibit a distinctive and effective leadership style. However, the insignificant percentage of female managers at senior management level has raised questions of what defines an effective female leader in the employees' perspectives. This study adopts a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews to solicit employees' perception of leadership effectiveness of female leaders. Farey's (1993) Transactional and Transformational Leadership were used to infer the leadership styles and behaviour of these leaders. Results revealed that effective female leaders in Malaysia are more likely to exhibit transformational leadership styles and have high concern for both production and people. The research also shows that different work contexts do influence employees' perceptions on the leaders' effectiveness. |
