NORENA-CHAVEZ, Diego; CELIZ KUONG, Jorge Orlando  and  GUEVARA, Rubén. Influence of leadership styles on the innovative behavior of Peruvian cadets. Rev. Cient. Gen.

This research identified the influence of transactional and transformational leadership styles on innovative behavior. The research followed a cross-sectional quantitative methodological approach, with a correlational explanatory scope and non-experimental design. A sample of 386 cadets from the Chorrillos Military School, Coronel Francisco Bolognesi (Peru), was used. The results were assessed by modeling structural equations using partial least squares (PLS-SEM). It was found that there is an influence of the two leadership styles studied on the innovative behavior of the cadets. According to the variance explained, transactional leadership would explain 22%, and transformational leadership 31% of the variability of innovative behavior. Therefore, this research contributes to understanding the relationship between leadership and innovative behavior in the military.

Keywords : innovation; leadership; military training; transactional leadership; transformational leadership.
