Abstract

This study investigates the degree to which a conductor's transformational leadership and orchestral musicians' positive group mood have a beneficial effect on orchestral performance. The authors study the assertion that there is an interaction effect of conductor's transformational leadership style and group mood in the orchestra. In this view, neither the conductor's transformational leadership nor the musicians' positive group mood alone foster success; only the interaction between transformational leadership and positive group mood is effective at promoting orchestral performance. An empirical study of 208 musicians from 22 German symphony orchestras reveals the assumed interaction effect of a conductor's leadership style and musicians' group mood on the artistic quality of the orchestra.
