This statement is true. The Least-Preferred Coworker (LPC) scale is used to measure an individual's leadership style by asking them to describe a coworker they have worked with who they liked the least. The highest scores on the scale (between 64- LPC score 80) indicate a leader who is more relationship-oriented, while the lower scores (between 20- LPC score 39) indicate a leader who is more task-oriented. A positive evaluation of the least-preferred coworker suggests that the leader is more focused on building interpersonal relationships and values the people they work with, which is associated with a more relationship-oriented leadership style.
