Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fiedler's contingency theory suggests that task-oriented leaders perform better in situations that are either very favourable (where the situation is highly structured and the leader has a high degree of control) or very unfavourable (where the situation is ambiguous and the leader has low control). Fiedler referred to these situations as "favorable" or "unfavorable" in his theory. However, in moderate situations (where there is some degree of structure and the leader has moderate control), relationship-oriented leaders tend to perform better.
