leadership: Example data set on leadership style and job satisfaction

Description

This data set is a slightly altered version of the data set simulated by Paul D. Bliese as described in Klein et al. (2000). The data set consists of 750 employees, nested within 50 work groups. The data set features employees' ratings on negative leadership style, job satisfaction, and workload as well as a measure for each work group's cohesion.

The original data set is available in the multilevel package and was altered by (a) transforming workload into a categorical variable, (b) transforming cohesion into a group-level variable, and (c) by inducing missing values.

Usage
