Contingency Factors in Leadership Research - Task characteristics - Follower characteristics - Characteristics of the leader - Characteristics of the environment
Assumptions of the Contingency Theory - task-oriented vs relationship-oriented - there is no best-style of leadership, the leader's style should match the situation - effectiveness criteria: group performance, later: group satisfaction
3 Factors that capture a situation's favorableness - Member Relations (group atmosphere, confidence, loyality, attraction of followers to leader -> high deree of subordinate trust, liking, positive relationships) - Task Structure (if task is clear+spelled out -> rules are clearly stated, limited correct solutions) - Position Power (amount of authority a leader has to reward/punish -> strong power: hire+fire, raises in rank or pay)
Consequence of Mismatch between Leader and situation 1. Experience of stress because of mismatch 2. Under stress, less-mature coping styles are chosen 3. Less-mature coping styles result in poor decision making
Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) To figure out if a task or people oriented behaviour is appropriate. -Leader-Member-relation: good or poor? - Task structure: high or low? -Position power: strong or weak? -> Highly (un)favorable situations: task-oriented leaders -> Moderately favorable situations: relationship oriented leaders
Evaluation of Contingency THeory Strengths: - relevant information regarding the type of leadership that is most likely to be effective in particular contexts - leaders should not expect to be effective in every situation Weakness: - not a full explanation to why leaders of particular styles are only successful in specific situations - leadership style is seen as personality trait - Critisism of LPC scale - Problem with practical use of the model (complex variables)
