    The document summarizes several leadership theories: 1) LPC theory suggests a leader's effectiveness depends on the situation and distinguishes between task and relationship motivation. 2) Path-goal theory focuses on leader behaviors and how they influence subordinate motivation to perform based on situational factors. 3) Vroom's decision tree approach prescribes leadership styles based on how decisions are made - whether the leader decides alone, delegates fully, consults individually/with the group, or facilitates group decision making.

    THE LPC THEORY OF LEADERSHIP

    • Least-Preferred Coworker
    • Developed by American scholar Fred Fiedler
    • Suggests that a leader’s effectiveness depends on the
    situation
    TASK VERSUS RELATIONSHIP
    MOTIVATION
    • TASK MOTIVATION closely parallels job-centered
    and initiating-structure leader behavior
    • RELATIONSHIP MOTIVATION similar to employee-
    centered and consideration leader behavior
    SITUATIONAL FAVORABLENESS

    • LEADER MEMBER RELATIONS refers to the personal


    relationship that exists between subordinates and their leader
    • TASK STRUCTURE second most important determinant of
    situational favorableness
    • LEADER POSITION POWER is the power inherent in the
    leader’s role itself.
    PATH GOAL THEORY OF LEADERSHIP

    • Developed jointly by Martin Evans and Robert House


    • Focuses on the situation and leader behaviors rather than
    on fixed traits of the leader.

    VROOMS DECISION TREE APPROACH
    TO LEADERSHIP
    • The earliest version of this model was proposed by Victor Vroom
    and Philip Yetton and later revised and expanded by Vroom and
    Arthur Jago
    • This approach attempts to prescribe a leadership style appropriate
    to a given situation
    • Vrooms approach concerns itself with only a single aspect of
    leader behavior: Subordinate participation in decision making
    5 DECISION STYLES
    • DECIDE: makes the decision alone
    • DELEGATE: allows the group to define for itself the exact
    nature and parameters of the problem and to the develop a
    solution
    • CONSULT(individually): presents the program to group or
    members individually, obtains their suggestions, and then makes
    the decision
    • CONSULT (group): presents the problem to group members
    at a meeting, gets their suggestions, and then makes the
    decision.
    • FACILITATE: presents the problem to the group at a
    meeting, defines the problem and its boundaries, and then
    facilitates group member discussion as members make the
    decision.
