    RESUMEN Este estudio se llevó a cabo en empleados de diversas empresas (N = 260). Investigamos las relaciones que había entre los dos estilos de liderazgo (predictores) y diversos resultados laborales tanto individuales como de la organización en dos categorías de edad. En el grupo de edad de joven a adulto, tanto el liderazgo transformacional como el transaccional se asociaron positivamente con la justicia organizacional; la justicia organizacional se asoció positivamente con el compromiso de trabajo y con la motivación de trabajo; el liderazgo tranformacional y el transaccional se asociaron positivamente con la motivación de trabajo, y únicamente el liderazgo transformacional se asoció positivamente con el compromiso de trabajo. El liderazgo transaccional y el compromiso de trabajo no correlacionaron signficativamente. En el grupo de más edad, el liderazgo transformacional se asoció positivamente con la justicia organizacional; sin embargo, el liderazgo transaccional se relacionó con ella negativamente. La justicia organizacional se asoció positivamente solo con el compromiso de trabajo. La justicia organizacional y la motivación de trabajo no se relacionaron significativamente. Importantes implicaciones se discuten.

    ABSTRACT The current study was conducted among employees in several organizations (N = 260). We investigated the relationships between the two leadership styles (the predictors) and several individual and organizational work outcomes among two age categories. For the young-to-adults age group, both transformational and transactional leadership associated positively with organizational justice; organizational justice associated positively with work commitment and work motivation; both transformational and transactional leadership associated positively with work motivation; and only transformational leadership associated positively with work commitment. Transactional leadership and work commitment were not significantly correlated. For the older group, transformational leadership associated positively with organizational justice; however, transactional leadership linked to it negatively. Organizational justice associated positively only with work commitment. Organizational justice and work motivation were not significantly related. Important implications are discussed.
