Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fiedler's Contingency Model states that the effectiveness of a leader is dependent on three key factors - leader-member relations, task structure, and the leader's amount of power and control. These three dimensions determine the best leadership style for a given situation, with high or low scores in each dimension suggesting a different optimal leadership style. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B includes two factors that are similar to Fiedler's model but adds an irrelevant third factor. Option C and D do not incorporate all three dimensions of Fiedler's model, and option E only includes different leadership styles, without considering the situation and other key factors.
