Description
Summary:Responses from randomly sampled U.S. Catholic priests were analyzed to determine how they perceived their bishop's use of his power and status as he related to subordinates. Respondents had a moderate concern for the misuse of power by their bishop. In a backward multiple regression analysis (adjusted R2 = .511, F = 48.08, p < .001) these perceptions were affected by three variables in the final model: (a) my bishop knows my personal worth, (b) most bishops are concerned about their power and status, and (c) the approachability of most bishops. Implications of these perceived beliefs are considered against research relating to destructive leadership and respectful leadership.
