Resumen

This research replicates the study of the influence of leadership styles on the innovative behavior of Peruvian cadets by Norena-Chavez et al. (2021), this time with officers from the Escuela Superior de Guerra del Ejército del Perú, involving a random sample of 103 middle command officers. The data were evaluated by structural equation modeling using partial least squares (PLS-SEM). A statistically significant influence of the leadership styles studied on the innovative behavior of the officers was found, with a higher influence shown by the transformational leadership style than transactional leadership. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between leadership styles and innovative behavior in the military.
