differentiate leaders from non-leaders.

19.
OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
STUDIES
• Sought to identify independent dimensions of leader
behavior.
TWO DIMENSIONS OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR
1. Initiating Structure – refers to the extent to which a leader
is likely to define his or her role and those of employees in
search for goal attainment.
– high initiating structure leader focuses on goals & results
– likened to production-oriented supervisor
– structure is initiated by assigning specific tasks, specifying
procedures to be followed, scheduling work, and clarifying
expectations.

20.
CONTINUED
TWO DIMENSIONS OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR
2. Consideration – describes the degree to which
leaders creates an environment of emotional support,
warmth, friendliness, and trust.
– leader’s behavior is friendly & approachable, looking
out for the personal welfare of the group, keeping the group
informed about new developments, and doing small favors for
group members.

21.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
STUDIES
• Attempts to locate behavioral characteristics of leaders.
EFFECTIVENESS CRITERIA USED
1. Productivity for work hour
2. Job satisfaction
3. Turnover, absenteeism, and grievance rates
4. Costs
5. Scrap loss
6. Employee & managerial motivation

22.
TWO DISTINCT STYLES OF
LEADERSHIP
1. Job-centered – managers set tight work standards,
organized tasks carefully, prescribed the work
methods to be followed, and supervised closely.
2. Employee-centered – managers encouraged group
members to participate in goal setting and other
work decisions, and helped to ensure high
performance by trust and mutual respect.

23.
YUKL STUDIES
• Tried to seek answers to specific behavior of leaders for varying situations.
NINETEEN BEHAVIORS OF LEADERSHIP
1. Performance emphasis 11. Role clarification
2. Consideration 12. Goal setting
3. Praise-recognition 13. Information dissemination
4. Decision-participation 14. Planning
5. Training-coaching 15. Coordinating
6. Problem solving 16. Representation
7. Work facilitation 17. Interaction facilitation
8. Inspiration 18. Conflict management
9. Structuring reward contingencies 19. Criticism-discipline
10. Autonomy-delegation

THE MANAGERIAL GRID
• A graphic portrayal of two dimensional view of leadership.
• An approach to understanding a manger’s concern for
production and concern for people.
• It proposes that there is a best way to manage people.

CONTINUUM OF
LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR
• This model consists of seven alternative ways for managers to
approach decision making, depending on how much
participation they want to allow subordinates in the decision
making process.

28.
LEADER’S CHOICE DEPENDS
ON THREE FACTORS
1. Forces in the manager – effective leaders are flexible, able to
select leadership behaviors needed in a given time and
place.
- consists of manager’s background, knowledge, values,
and experience.
Example:
If the manager worked for ten years as a subordinate of a
well-performing leader who adapted the participative style, he
will tend to be a participative leader himself.

29.
CONTINUED
2. Forces in subordinates – the leadership style of greater
participation and freedom can be exercised by the manager if
the subordinates:
 are craving for independence and freedom 
want to have decision making responsibility
 identify with the organization’s goal
 are knowledgeable and experienced enough
 have experience with the previous managers that lead
them to expect participative management

30.
CONTINUED
3. Forces in the situation – the organization’s preferred style,
the specific work group, the nature of the group’s tasks, the
pressures of time, and environmental factors.
Example:
the nature of the problem and time pressures

31.
CONTINGENCY LEADERSHIP
MODEL
• This model proposes that effective group performance depends
on the proper match between the leader’s style and the degree to
which the situation favors the leader.
• This model uses an instrument called Least Preferred Coworker
(LPC) Scale to assess the degree of positive or negative feelings
held by a person toward someone with whom he or she least
prefers to work.
• Low scores on LPC = task-oriented leaders, controlling and with a
structuring leadership style
• High Scores on LPC = relationship-oriented leaders, or passive
and considerate

32.
FACTORS TO DETERMINE HOW
FAVORABLE THE LEADERSHIP
ENVIRONMENT IS
1. Leader-member relations – the degree of confidence, trust,
and respect the followers have in their leader.
2. Task structure – the extent to which the tasks the followers
are engaged in are structured.
- HIGH when the task is clearly specified and known
- LOW when the task is unclear, ambiguous, or unspecifiable
3. Position power – the power inherent in the leadership position.
- greater authority means greater position power

33.
PATH-GOAL MODEL
• This model states that the leader’s job is to create a work
environment through structure, support, and rewards that
helps employees reach the organization’s goals.
TWO MAJOR ROLES INVOLVED
1. The creation of a good orientation
2. The improvement of the path toward the goals so that they
will be attained

34.

35.
FOUR LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS
1. The directive leader – type of leader who lets followers know
what is expected of them, schedules work to be done, and gives
specific guidance as to how to accomplish tasks.
2. The supportive leader – type of leader who is friendly and shows
concern for the needs of followers.
3. The participative leader – type of leader who consults with
followers and uses their suggestions before making a decision.
4. The achievement-oriented leader – leader who sets challenging
goals and expects followers to perform at their highest level.

36.
HERSHEY-BLANCHARD
SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP THEORY
• This theory suggests that a leader’s style should be
determined by matching it with the maturity level or
readiness of each subordinate.
READINESS CONSISTS OF TWO CONCERNS
1. Job readiness (or task competence) – knowledge and
abilities to perform the job without a manager structuring or
directing the work.
2. Psychological readiness (or commitment) – self-motivation
and desire to do high quality work.

37.
CLASSIFICATION OF
SUBORDINATES
1. Those with low competence and low commitment (D-1)
2. Those with low competence but with high commitment (D-2)
3. Those with high competence but with low commitment (D-3)
4. Those with high competence and high commitment (D-4)

38.
FOUR LEADERSHIP STYLES
1. Directing – best for low follower readiness.
- unable and unwilling
2. Coaching – best for low to moderate follower readiness.
- unable but willing
3. Supporting – best for moderate to high follower readiness.
- able but unwilling
4. Delegating – best for high readiness.
- able and willing

39.
LEADER-MEMBER EXCHANGE
APPROACH
• This theory recognize that leaders develop unique working
relationships with each group member.
• Leaders and their followers exchange information, resources,
and role expectations that determine the quality of their
interpersonal relationships.
EFFECT OF LEADER-MEMBER RELATIONS
1. Creates in-groups – subordinates in this group will have
higher performance ratings, less turnover, and greater job
satisfaction.

40.
EFFECT OF LEADER-MEMBER
RELATIONS
1. Creates in-groups – subordinates in this group will have higher
performance ratings, less turnover, and greater job
satisfaction.
- have attitudes and values similar to those of the leader and
interact frequently with the leader.
2. Creates out-groups – subordinates in this group are treated in
accordance with a more formal understanding of supervisor-
subordinate relations.
- less in common with the leader and operate in different ways
- less likely to experience good teamwork

41.
NORMATIVE DECISION MODEL
• aka “the leader-participation model”, “decision-making model
of leadership”
• The model views leadership as a decision making process in
which the leader examines certain favors within the situation
to determine which decision making style will be most
effective.

42.
FIVE DECISION MAKING STYLES
1. Autocratic I – the leader individually solves the problem using
the information already available
2. Autocratic II – the leader obtains data from subordinates and
then decides
3. Consultative I – the leader explains the problem to individual
subordinates and obtains ideas from each before deciding.
4. Consultative II – the leader meets with group of subordinates to
share the problem and obtain inputs, and then decides.
5. Group II – the leader shares problem with group and facilitates a
discussion of alternatives aiming to reach a group agreement on
solution.

43.
ASSUMPTIONS UNDER THIS
MODEL
1. The leader can accurately classify problems according to the
criteria offered.
2. The leader is able and willing to adapt his or her leadership
style to fit the contingency condition he or she faces.
3. The leader is willing to use a rather complex model.
4. The employees will accept the legitimacy of different styles,
as well as the validity of the leader’s classification of the
situation at hand.

44.
MUCZYK-REIMANN MODEL
• This model suggests that “participation” behavior is concerned
with the degree to which subordinates are allowed to be
involved in decision making.
• They propose that leaders should be allowed to adapt to
different situations.

45.
FOUR LEADERSHIP STYLES
1. The directive autocrat – leader makes the decisions
unilaterally and closely supervises the activities of
subordinates.
2. The permissive autocrat – leader makes decision unilaterally
but allows subordinates a great deal of latitude execution.
3. The directive democrat – leader wants full participation but
closely supervises subordinate activity.
4. The permissive democrat – leader allows high participation in
decision making and in execution.
