The purpose of this study is to identify the transformational or transactional leadership styles of Korean dietitians. The study was completed with Korean dietitians(n = 268, 67% response) using mail survey. The leadership styles were divided into transformational(including charisma, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration) and transactional(contin-gent reward, management by exception) leadership found in the several literature. Overall, the score of Korean dietitians transactional leadership was higher than that of the transformational leadership(p < .05). Among thre sub-dimensions of the transformational leadership styles, the score of individualized consideration was higher than charisma and intel-lectual stimulation. Betwen two sub-dimensions of the transactional leadership styles, Korean dietitians used more ma-nagement-by-exception than contingent reward. ANOVA results suggested that the transformational leadership was more likely to be used by the younger dietitians, while the transactional leadership was more likely to be used by the older dietitians(p < .05) - 6 year dietetic experience used more transformational leader-ship than other experienced dietitians(p < .05). It was also found that the Korean dietitians leadership styles were influen-ced by the type of dietic practice area. Data showed that charisma, intellectual stimulation, individualized conside-ration and contingent reward were more likely to be used by Korean dietitians from schol than by dietitians from health care and industry(p < .05). This study will be useful for dietitians to guide the application of appropriate leadership style in order to increase employees' job satisraction as well as organization performance
