Week 10: Positive Organizational Psychology – exam preparation part IITheme 5: Leadership
Fact: Bonon and Judge (2004) examined the relationship between personality traits
and leadership style.
Statement: The results showed that transformational leaders are born rather than made. Not
100% true, so false. Leadership can also be developed over time and is depending on context.
Breevaart and colleagues (2014) showed that some transactional leader behaviors are
also able to stimulate followers' work engagement. True
Einarsen et al. (2007) state that leadership behavior that can be characterized as pro-
subordinate AND pro-organization can be labeled as constructive leadership. True

Although strengths are trait-like, how strengths are used is dependent upon context,
values, interests and other strenghts. True

proactive behaviors via self-efficacy and work-engagement. True
