Causal Model for Supportive Leader on Subordinate Effort Reduce boredom Make more tolerable Increase intrinsic Value of work Increase effort Supportive leadership Increase confidence And lower anxiety Increase effort-performance expectation *Yukl (1998). Leadership in organizations (4th Edition). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.

Leadership in organizations (4th Edition). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.

  11. Situational Leadership • Hersey & Blanchard (1977) • Leadership Depends of “Maturity” of Followers • Job Maturity (KSAs) • Psychological Maturity (Self-Efficacy) • Minimal to Moderate Maturity = Supportive • Moderate to Maximum Maturity = Directive • Developmental Interventions • Simple vs. Contingency Contracting

Fiedler’s Contingency Theory • Fiedler (1964, 1967) • Situation Moderates Leader Effectiveness and Subordinate Traits • Based on “Least Preferred Coworker” (LPC) • Indicates Leader’s Motive Hierarchy (nAFF) • High LPC is Considerate • Low LPC is Directive • Based on Situational Favorability • Leader-Member Relations, Position Power, Task Structure

  16. Fiedler’s LPC Model Leader’s LPC Group performance Leader-member relations Leader position power Task structure *Yukl (1998). Leadership in organizations (4th Edition). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.
