This study examined the relationship of adult 4-H volunteers\&$\#$39; perceived leadership styles of Oregon 4-H youth development educators (YDE) to the adult 4-H volunteer sense of empowerment. The study found a significant negative correlation when comparing transformational leadership style to transactional leadership styles, meaning that 4-H YDE who are rated as using transformational leadership are very likely NOT to use transactional leadership. A significant positive relationship was found when the 4-H YDE was using transformational leadership. They are very likely to be empowering adult 4-H volunteers.</p>},
