    Abstract

    The study examined the role of substitutes for leadership within Australian local councils. Data from 177 local council employees indicated significant positive effects of some substitutes for leadership on performance outcomes. Furthermore, some substitutes for leadership moderated the effects of transactional leadership behaviours on performance outcomes, whereas another sub-component of substitutes for leadership moderated the effects of social processes of leadership on performance outcomes. In addition, some substitutes for leadership partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and performance outcomes. Theoretical and managerial implications following on from this study are discussed.
