In their classic Journal of Applied Psychology research article, Julian Barling and co-authors study a leadership training intervention in the structure of PICO (a common model for systematic reviews) and in doing so have been cited over 2640 times by their peers in the field. One such citation is in Gubbins’ and Rousseau (2015:111).

  • Participants: Managers in transformational leadership
  • Intervention: The design of effective training
  • Comparison: No training or ineffective training
  • Outcome: attitudinal and financial outcomes
