Levels of participation:
AI - autocratic process (leader solves the problem or make decision on own
CI- consultative process (leader shares problem with relevant followers individually - not in a group and makes a decision
CII - leader shares with followers in a group meeting obtains ideas/suggestions then makes a decision that may or may not reflect input
GII- Group process - shares with group, together they generate alternatives, come to consensus on a solution
The Situational Leadership model (SLT situational leadership theory): optimum way to adjust behaviors and work with followers to increase their success that may be different i.e. intelligence, personality, values, preferences, technical competencies etc.
Task Behavior: spelling out responsibilities for followers
What to do, how to do it, when to do it, and who to do it
Relationship Behavior: how much the leader engages in 2-way communication
Listening, encouraging, facilitating, clarifying, explaining why a task is important, gives support
Follower Readiness: ability and willingness to accomplish a task (not an assessment of personality, values, age etc.
Developmental interventions: boost follower readiness by adjusting the task and behaviors to move the follower readiness up a level
The Contingency Model: leadership effectiveness depends on both the leaders' style and the favorableness of the leadership situation
consistent, less flexible, choose a leader for the situation (opposite of SLT)
Least preferred coworker (LPC): think of the individual that was the most difficult to work with and describe with bipolar adjectives - convert to a numerical score
LPC Low - task motivated
LPC High - Relationship/people motivated
The Path -Goal Theory: most sophisticated and comprehensive - deals with expectancy. A cognitive approach to understanding motivation where people calculate effort to performance probabilities, performance to outcome probabilities and assigned valences or values of an outcome.
Leader Behaviors: Depending on the followers situation, different leader behaviors can increase followers acceptance of the leader, enhance level of satisfaction, raise expectations that effort with result in effective performance - valued rewards
