Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Ohio State studies identified consideration (referring to a leader's ability to create a supportive work environment and show concern for employees) and initiating structure (referring to a leader's ability to organize work and define roles and responsibilities) as the two dimensions by which managers can be characterized. Option A is incorrect because achievement orientation and participation were identified as part of the Michigan studies, not Ohio State studies. Option B is incorrect because the studies did not suggest that middle-of-the-road management produces satisfactory results. Option D is incorrect because laissez-faire leadership was found to be the least effective leadership style in the studies. Option E is incorrect because the studies did not suggest that leaders cannot effectively perform both dimensions of leadership.
