• Contingency Model
• Proposes that success of a manager as a leader is contingent on two factors: the leadership style of the
manager and the favorableness of the leadership situation
• Leadership style according to Fred E. Fielder’s theory can either be relationship-oriented (emphasize
good interpersonal relationships as an important means of accomplishing work) or task-oriented ( focus
on completing a job first and taking care of people as secondary to accomplishing their primary mission
• Favorableness- the amount of power , control, and influence wielded by a manager in a particular set of
circumstances
• Three components establish the favorableness dimensions of a situation:
• Leader-member relations
• Task Structure
