According to the LPC (Least Preferred Coworker) theory, leader-member relations, or the extent to which the leader has positive or negative feelings towards their coworkers, is presumed to have the biggest effect on the favorableness of a situation. A leader with positive feelings towards their coworkers will rate their least preferred coworker more favorably, indicating a more favorable situation, while a leader with negative feelings towards their coworkers will rate their least preferred coworker less favorably, indicating a less favorable situation.
