The pur pose of this study was to compare the responses of Eastern and Western instr uments toward the transformational and transactional leadership. A quantitative survey and qualitative interview was used in this study. The participants included 57 directors, 285 followers, and 6 interviewees from Taiwanese universities. The results showed the transformational leadership had a significant positive correlation (rs = .81, p < .01) between the MLQ-5X (rater form) and the TFLQ. Transactional leadership also had a significant positive correlation (rs = .47, p < .01) between the MLQ-5X and the TSLQ. The summarized conclusions were the following: First, similar results indicated that both the MLQ-5X and the TFLQ/TSLQ were effective in the Taiwanese environment. Second, same leadership concepts may have contained specific thoughts, beliefs, understandings, or behaviors in one culture but not another; however, the concepts of transformational leadership may seem similar in different cultures but may be expressed differently.

轉型領導與交易領導行為是一種全球化的概念，但在不同的文化背景下，或許會有不同的詮釋。本研究採用西方學者所創立的「多元領導行為」問卷(MLQ-5X)，以及台灣學者所創立的本土化的「多元領導行為」問卷(TFLQ與TSLQ)，透過量化的問卷調查與質性的訪談研究，探討台灣地區大專院校體育室主任的領導行為。研究結果顯示，不同的東西方轉型領導與交易領導問卷研究結果具有一致性。
