A meta-analysis of 103 studies showed that initiating structure and consideration both had beneficial relationships with a number of outcomes.
For example, consideration had a strong positive relationship with perceived leader effectiveness, employee motivation, and employee job satisfaction. For its part, initiating structure had a strong positive relationship with employee motivation and moderate positive relationships with perceived leader effectiveness, employee job satisfaction, and overall unit performance.
In fact, a meta-analysis of 78 studies showed that initiating structure and consideration are only weakly related—knowing whether a leader engages in one brand of behavior says little about whether he or she engages in the other brand.
