Implication

Laboratory experiment evaluates idea generation impact of transformational leadership and anonymity in undergraduate groups, suggesting important implications for group dynamics.

Key Points

This research examines how transformational leadership and anonymity affect idea generation in computer-mediated groups.
Laboratory experiment with 36 undergraduate student work groups using a Group Decision Support System.
Transformational leadership was manipulated through confederate leaders displaying specific behaviors.
Analysis of variance was applied to evaluate outcomes.
Groups under high transformational leadership generated more original solutions and supportive comments.
Anonymous groups produced more critical remarks and fewer problem clarifications than identified groups.
Higher perceived performance, extra effort, and satisfaction were reported in high transformational leadership groups.
