Fiedler‘s Contingency Model
Situational characteristics that determine, how favorable a given situation is for leading
- Leader-member relations (how much do workers like and trust their leader)
- Good leader-member relationships are favorable for leading
- Task structure (extent to which workers tasks are clear-cut)
- Clear issues make a situation favorable for leadership
- Position Power (amount of legitimate, reward, & coercive power in a leader position)
- Strong positional power is favorable for exertion of leadership
