LEADER COMPLEXITY AND LEADERSHIP STYLE

Abstract

The document is concerned with an esteem for one's least preferred co-worker (LPC) scale as positively correlated with an individual's cognitive complexity. This hypothesis was tested in a variety of ways. The LPC score was correlated with a measure of cognitive complexity. High LPC subjects also were rated in their complex cognitions in making judgments about task settings against low LPC subjects. And finally, high LPC subjects' complex cognitions in perceptions of actual behavior and of other co-workers were evaluated. This information was integrated into a theory of leadership effectiveness.
