Leader Behavior: Autonomous or Interactive.

Abstract

The paper experimentally examined Fiedler's (1972) hypothesis that relationship-motivated (high LPC) and task-motivated (low LPC) persons differ in their responses to favorable and unfavorable leadership situations. Subjects were asked to react to role-played, pre-recorded leadership situations which varied in their degree of situational favorability. The 'leader's' verbal behavior was recorded and classified as to it's interpersonal or task relevance.
