Contingency Theory: Leadership approach asserting that the effectiveness of a leader depends on the fit between leadership style and situational variables. Success varies based on the situation's characteristics.
Fiedler’s Contingency Model: A theory proposing that a leader’s effectiveness depends on the match between their leadership style (task-oriented or relationship-oriented) and the favorability of the work situation, measured by three variables: leader–member relations, task structure, and position power.
Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) Measure: A self-report tool developed by Fiedler to determine a leader’s orientation. Leaders rate their least preferred coworker; low LPC scores indicate task orientation, high scores indicate relationship orientation.
Path–Goal Theory: A leadership model suggesting that leaders motivate followers by clarifying paths to goals, removing obstacles, and adapting their behavior (directive, achievement-oriented, supportive, participative) based on the task and followers’ needs.
