Replication Data for: Leadership preferences in modern construction projects

The questionnaire was sent to site managers and construction managers working on chosen construction sites in Poland. The questionnaire was sent by an electronic method (e-mail) from 15/01/2021 to 28/01/2021 (within 2 weeks) which was conditioned by limited access to other, especially personally administered, methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 41 questionnaires were received out of 60 sent out, which gives a response rate of 68.3%. The screening phase included questions focused on the role of the respondents at the construction site and their experience. Among the surveyed sample everyone was experienced in the execution of construction projects and represented a leader’s point of view which enabled a further step of the study. Regarding product-specific questions, it was intended to ask nine scaled questions related to three specific leadership models (3 questions to each): transformational (TF), transactional (TA), and passive/avoidant (PA) – Table 1. The rating scale consists of five levels, from 0 to 4, showing how often the respondent shows the given features. The frequency of occurrence of a given leadership style represented by a respondent (according to his/her opinion) can be 0 (if the context, described in the question, never takes place), 1 (if rarely), 2 (if sometimes), 3 (if quite often), and 4 (if very often/always).
