Influencia de los estilos de liderazgo en el comportamiento innovador de oficiales del Ejército peruano

This research replicates the study of the influence of leadership styles on the innovative behavior of Peruvian cadets by Norena-Chavez et al. (2021), this time with officers from the Escuela Superior de Guerra del Ejército del Perú, involving a random sample of 103 middle command officers. The data were evaluated by structural equation modeling using partial least squares (PLS-SEM). A statistically significant influence of the leadership styles studied on the innovative behavior of the officers was found, with a higher influence shown by the transformational leadership style than transactional leadership. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between leadership styles and innovative behavior in the military.
