Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fiedler's theory of contingency leadership proposes that a leader's effectiveness is based on situational factors, including leader-member relations, task structure, and positional power. Leader-member relations refer to the degree of confidence, trust, and respect that subordinates have in their leader, making option E the correct answer. Task structure refers to the degree to which tasks are clear and unambiguous while positional power refers to the amount of formal authority a leader has. Follower variables are not a component of Fiedler's theory, and path-goal frameworks are a separate leadership theory.
