A laboratory experiment investigated leadership-style effects of two management levels on team performance and various measures of satisfaction. Twenty-six teams, each headed by an executive, performed a complex problemsolving task. Each team had two interdependent sections, each with a manager and two subordinates. The teams were grouped into four executive-manager leadership-style combinations according to Fiedler's Least Preferred Coworker scale. Criteria were compared for each combination as well as for executive leadership alone and manager leadership alone. The additive combination of executive-manager leadership style predicted performance, but not satisfaction significantly better than either leadership measure alone although executive leadership style was itself significantly related to performance
