Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i1 Transformational leadership (β = -0.123) and servant leadership (β = -0.186) each showed a significant negative association with workplace harassment. → Alave Mamani 2026

q2 · i1 · associational · r2
Structural equation model (WLSMV, N=506 Peruvian university teachers) estimating direct paths from both leadership styles to workplace harassment. The article reports "negatively associated with workplace harassment" for both styles, with standardized coefficients β = -0.123 and β = -0.186, both significant.
"Both transformational (β =-0.123, p0.01) and servant (β =-0.186, p0.001) leadership were negatively associated with workplace harassment."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Workplace harassment did not significantly degrade teacher self-efficacy, plausibly due to a ceiling effect — related
- Measurement invariance across gender is supported, but full structural equivalence is rejected, with differences localized to transformational-leadership paths — related
- Servant leadership exhibits complementary partial mediation via self-efficacy, whereas transformational leadership shows a small indirect-only effect — related
- Transformational leadership's protective effect against harassment operates among women but not men, while its self-efficacy effect operates among men but not women (exploratory) — related
