Durkheim, Weber, Mazlish, and Covey also noted that the ascetic is likely to be viewed by those around him or her as the object of a special respect. A review of the leadership literature identifies several major themes which have emerged. Those which are related to asceticism are transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and charismatic leadership. Asceticism was expected to predict all these types of leadership, and these, in turn, were expected to predict positive organization-level results. Reports with regard to personal asceticism were obtained from 84 Methodist ministers. Descriptions of leadership behaviors were obtained from 307 members of these pastors' churches. The cases used in this study were the 69 pastors for whom three or more leadership descriptions were provided. No significant correlation was found between self-reports of asceticism and observer-reports of leadership behavior. Stepwise regression identified two conceptual leadership factors which were predictive of organizational results. These were Inspiring a Shared Vision (a transformational leadership behavior) and Modeling the Way (a transactional leadership behavior). These two factors, however, were not empirically distinct. This research's important contribution to the leadership literature lies in its discovery that Attributions of Charisma was not an empirically distinct factor. The relationships which this work has created within the church will lead to future research opportunities with regard to the relationship between organizational effectiveness and (1) organizational structure and (2) organizational value systems.
