The Effect of Changes in Command Environment on the Behavior of Relationship- and Task-Motivated Leaders.
Abstract
This study, based on the Contingency Model (Fiedler, 1967), examines the effect of job rotation, succession and reassignment of superiors on the behavior and performance of a sample of 115 infantry squad leaders tested first at the beginning of their training cycle and again six to nine months later. Task-related behaviors were primarily affected by changes in job relationships (sometimes moderated by leader experience), whereas person-related behaviors tended to be a function of individual leadership style (LPC).
