Leaders are facing unprecedented challenges in the beginning of this new century. According to the United States National Military Strategy (NMS), the military is not immune to these challenges and must improve its leadership development to effectively execute its role in the National Security Strategy. One way to develop leadership is by improving the General Self-efficacy (GSE) of the future senior military leaders, as GSE has been empirically correlated with leadership effectiveness. The purpose of this quantitative study was to analyze which leadership behaviors can be applied to most effectively foster positive GSE. To explore this concept, 339 active duty United States Air Force (USAF) company grade officers (CGO) were surveyed to assess their perception of their superior officer's leadership behaviors as defined by the Full-Range Leadership Model utilizing the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and their level of perceived general self efficacy as measured by the New General Self-Efficacy survey. Pearson's correlation analyses revealed that GSE was positively correlated with idealized influence (behaviors) (r = .140,p = .01), inspirational motivation (r = .134, p = .014), and individual consideration (r = .110, p = .044). Stepwise multiple linear regression also revealed that idealized influence (behaviors) alone was a significant predictor of GSE ( p =.01). Participant age was also found to be a moderator such that the correlation between idealized influence (behaviors) and GSE was of great significance for those respondents in the older than average age group (M= 31.4, B = 0.02, p = .001). The results of this research support current literature on the impact of Transformational leadership on subordinate GSE but narrow the predictive qualities to the specific leadership behavior of idealized influence (behaviors), especially in those over 31 years old. This knowledge is important to help develop current junior USAF leaders to be effective senior leaders in the new century. However, further research is recommended to better define the relationship between idealized influence (behavior) and GSE as well as other cultures to effect further generalization.
