Part A:
Trait theory and behavioral theory offer many different perspectives on what constitutes an effective leader. Contingency theory and path-goal theory were developed as a result of the variety of traits that influence effective leadership and the restrictive nature of behavioral theory.
In various ways these theories address the way the situation influences effective leadership.
Fiedler’s contingency theory is discussed in detail. The discussion emphasizes his contention that no one leadership style is most effective, but rather that there must be a match between the style of leadership and the environment in which the leader is operating.
Also emphasized is Fiedler’s belief that it is more effective to change the job to fit the individual than to try to change the individual.
The impact of this philosophy on selection and training is examined as well.
