Traits = personal qualities or characteristics -
physical, personality, skills & abilities, social
factors
Early research, few common characteristics
found in successful leaders
Intelligence, dominance, aggressiveness &
decisiveness likely determinants (Lord, De
Vader & Alliger)
5. IDENTIFYING LEADER BEHAVIOURS: IOWA,
MICHIGAN & OHIO STATE STUDIES
Iowa - Kurt Lewin & others - compared
autocratic, democratic & laissez-faire leaders
Problem - democratic leadership = satisfied
workers, but not always optimal performance
Michigan - employee-centred rather than job-
centred or production centred approach superior
Ohio State studies - initiating structure (core
managerial
functions, planning, organising, controlling), &
consideration (mutual trust with
employees, respect & concern for feelings)
6. DEVELOPING SITUATIONAL THEORIES:
FIEDLER’S CONTINGENCY THEORY
Theory: effective groups depend on match between a leader’s
style of relating with subordinates & the extent to which the
situation gives control to the leader.
Leader’s style:
High member relations leader is concerned with people
Task-structure leader reduces ambiguity - “Do I know what
I am supposed to do?”
Position power - how well supported is the leader by his/her
superiors?
Least-preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire used to
measure whether a person is task or relationship orientated.
