  2. Objective To integrate the two major behavioral aspects of the leader, task and relationship, in order to influence subordinates to reach a predefined goal. Develop a “style” for effective leadership.

  3. Definition Focus is on the behavior of the individual in terms of what leaders do and how they act.

  5. Application Suggests that leaders should modify their behavioral style in order to increase their effectiveness People sometimes use different styles just to get what they want at that point in time Trade-off between task and relationship is not the same for all situations Employee satisfaction is not always the best measurement of leadership

  6. The Style Theory What leaders do (not who they are) Task-oriented behavior Relationship-oriented behavior Universal theories of leadership: Most effective 9,9—both task- and relationship-oriented Most effective when leader changes the situation rather than adapting to it

  7. The Style Theory Began to blend with situational and contingency theories, which emphasize environmental variables over the leader’s behavior style The two dimensions of behavior: consideration and structure were tested in military leadership environments

  8. The Style Theory in Military Environments During Training Crew members’ satisfaction with their commanders during training was positively related to consideration and negatively related to structure Supervisors viewed the commanders more positively if they were high on structure and low in consideration

  9. The Style Theory in Military Environments During Combat Crew members felt more effective when their commanders scored high in both consideration and structure Supervisors of the commanders again were more positively oriented towards commanders high in structure

  10. Style Theory in Military Environments Stoghill, 1974 Military groups tend to be more cohesive when their leaders score high in both consideration and structure—however: They remained skeptical that either measure was highly related to effectiveness of accomplishing organizational goals

  11. Style Theory and Police Leadership Kirmeyer & Lin, 1987 Studied relationship between police dispatchers and their supervisors Effective communication was best facilitated when the subordinated felt they received social support from their supervisors—therefore, they responded better to managers whose style was high on the relationship-oriented continuum
