Abstract: Relationships between gunas, karma-yoga, and transformational leadership were studied using a sample of 105 pairs of managers and subordinates of a large banking organization in India. Each of the three gunas--nates sattva, rajas, and tamas--was measured along 10 dimensions: attribution, leisure, interests, food, praise and criticism, sympathy, right and wrong, motivation to work, working with determination, and accepting pain. A scale was developed for this study to measure karma-yoga. Findings show that three sattva dimensions (sympathy, motivation to work, and accepting pain) enhance transformational leadership and two rajas dimensions (attribution, and right and wrong) reduce karma-yoga. Karma-yoga is not related to transformational leadership. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2003 APA, all rights reserved)(journal abstract)
