Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The University of Michigan studies identified two types of leadership styles: job-centered and employee-centered. The employee-centered leader focuses on the people doing the work, creating a supportive work environment, and delegating decision making to aid followers in satisfying their needs. This is consistent with the description given in the question. Choice A refers to a leader who is task-focused, while choice C refers to a leader who initiates structure and direction. Choice D refers to McGregor's Theory Y, which suggests that people are inherently motivated and enjoy work if conditions are favorable. While related, it does not directly address leadership style.
