Lesson 3: Contingency \/ Situational theory of Leadership<\/h2>\n

Fiedler’s Contingency Model
\n<\/h3>\n

The Fiedler Model is a leadership contingency theory developed by Fred Fiedler, which suggests that the effectiveness of a leader is determined by the extent to which their leadership style matches the situational context in which they operate.<\/h5>\n
The model proposes that the effectiveness of a leader is influenced by two primary factors: the leader’s style, which reflects their orientation towards either task or relationship, and the degree of control that the leader has over the situation.<\/h5>\n
The model assumes that leaders have a stable and permanent leadership style, which aligns with the degree to which they use initiating structure or consideration behaviors. Therefore, to achieve optimal group performance, it is essential to match the leadership style with the situational context.<\/h5>\n
The Fiedler Model assesses the situation or context in terms of three dimensions:<\/h5>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Leader-member relations
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
\u00a0This is the level of confidence, trust, and respect that group members have in their leader.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Task structure
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
This dimension measures the extent to which job assignments are structured or unstructured.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Position power
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
This refers to the degree of influence or control that a leader has over important power variables such as hiring, firing, promotions, discipline, and salary increases.<\/h5>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Fiedler Model says that a leader’s control over a situation depends on how structured their job is and how much power they have.<\/h5>\n
Situations where a leader has a lot of control, such as when they have good relationships with their team, specific tasks, and the power to reward and punish, are favorable.<\/h5>\n
In these favorable situations, task-oriented leaders perform better.<\/h5>\n
In contrast, relationship-oriented leaders perform better in situations that are moderately favorable. Unfavorable situations, where the leader has little control, are not good for any type of leader.<\/h5>\n
\u00a0<\/h5>\n

\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n

How to use Fiedler’s theory of leadership to build a more successful team?<\/h3>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Step 1- Identify your leadership style:
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
This involves taking the least-preferred co-worker (LPC) test to determine your leadership style. If you score 73 or above, you’re a relationship-oriented leader. If you score 54 or below, you’re a task-oriented leader. If you score between 55 and 72, you’re a mix of both leadership styles. Once you know your leadership style, you can determine which environment suits you best.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Step 2 – Analyse your situation:
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
You need to assess the situational favorableness of your working environment by asking questions like: Is trust with your team high or low (leader member relation score)? Are tasks vague or clear-cut and well-understood (task structure score)? Is your authority low or high (leader’s position power score)? By analysing the situation, you can determine whether your leadership style is a good fit.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Step 3 – Determine if it’s the right style for the situation:
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
If you find that you’re not in the right role for your leadership style, you may want to transfer to another department. Alternatively, you may want to try and tweak the situation or work on your leadership style. For example, if you’re a task-oriented leader in an environment with very high or very low situational favorableness, you may want to change your style or change the situation.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Step 4 – Find the right leader:
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
If you’re a middle manager, you may want to consider implementing supervisors to help support your team in the areas that don’t compliment your leadership style. You can use the LPC survey to determine if a candidate is a good fit for the team.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n

\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Step 5 – Change the situation:
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
If your leadership style doesn’t fit perfectly with the situation, you can try to change the situation. For example, you can bring clarity to the tasks by outlining expectations more clearly or improving business processes. You can also increase your authority as a leader by taking on a more senior role or requesting more power.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n
