Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contingent reward factor is a process where follower effort is exchanged for specified rewards. It is a form of transactional leadership where the leader sets expectations and goals for the followers, and in return, the followers are rewarded for achieving those goals. This is not a reciprocal process of mutual influence or a negotiated process with equal rewards for follower and leader, which eliminates options A and D. It also does not involve a reciprocal process between two followers, eliminating option B.
