3 Three contingency Models

Developed by Robert House , path-goal theory states that a leader can effectively affect performance , satisfaction and motivation of a workgroup . This he /she can achieve through : rewards for achievers of performance goals , specifying paths that leads to the goals , eliminating obstacles that hinder performance . The principle behind attribution theory in connection to motivation is that our perceptions or attributions for success or failure determine the amount of effort we will put on an activity in

the future

Leadership-member exchange theory conceptualizes leadership to be a process that is based on interactions between leaders and followers The dyadic leadership that exists between leaders and followers is seen to be the focal point of process of leadership . Leadership-member exchange theory is more appropriate to one as it guarantees the employees , the feeling of being part of the system (in-group ) and eliminates the negative impacts and inequalities associated with out-group

Fiedler 's leadership theory is a model based on both industrial and organizational psychology . It states that Leadership style can be generally termed on a consistent interaction that occurs between leaders and work groups . In Fielder 's view this relationship is dependent on the leader 's personality and as such is fixed and can thus , measured by the model he calls least Co-worker (LPC ) scale . It measures an individual 's leadership orientation . The scale is 1 - 8 a high LPC score shows that he /she is human relations oriented while a low LPC score suggests a task orientation . Fiedler urges that thee is no ideal leader , that both of these can be effective depending on whether this style fits the situation . When I was in high school mathematics was not my favourite subject , however , my teacher did not interact with at a personal level to understand my problem so I did not develop any interest at all and my grades got even worse
