Contingency theory

Maybe you wounder about the concept of Contingency Theory. Well, gather around the fireplace, kids, and Ill tell you!

Contingency theory is a leadership theory developed by Fred Fiedler.

Leaderships effectiveness depends on both the leaders personality and the situation. Certain leaders are effective in one situation but not in others.

That means that there is no "best way of leading"

There are 3 devices to determine leader personality and the situation:
1. Least Prefferred Coworker (LPC) Scale
2. Situational Favorableness
3. Leaders-Situation Match and Mismatch

Best Regards
Arnt van Norway!
