	Fiedler contingency model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fiedler contingency model is a leadership theory of industrial and organizational psychology developed by Fred Fiedler (born 1922), one of the leading scientists who helped his field move from the research of traits and personal characteristics of leaders to leadership styles and behaviours.
		Fiedler’s contingency theory has drawn criticism because it implies that the only alternative for an unalterable mismatch between leader orientation and an unfavourable situation is changing the leader.
		Despite of all the criticism, Fiedler's contingency theory is an important theory because it established a brand new perspective for the study of leadership.

		Fiedler’s master’s thesis was on ‘The Efficacy of Preventive Psychotherapy for Alleviating Examination Anxiety’, and his dissertation, entitled ‘A Comparative Investigation of the Therapeutic Relationships Created by Experts and Non-experts of the Psychoanalytic, Non-directive, and Adlerian Schools’, is one of his most frequently cited works.
		A key component in Fiedler’s contingency theory is the least preferred co-worker (LPC) scale, an instrument for measuring an individual’s leadership orientation using eighteen to twenty-five pairs of adjectives and an eight-point bipolar scale between each pair.
		Fiedler was recognized by the American Psychological Association for counselling research in 1971 and for his contributions to military psychology in 1979.

		Fiedler suggests that it may be easier for leaders to change their situation to achieve effectiveness, rather than change their leadership style.
		This model separates leadership behaviors into two general categories: Task Behavior, which is the communication and management of the work tasks that the group must accomplish with the follower(s), and Relationship Behavior, which is the creation and maintenance of personal or emotional connections between the leader and follower.
		This model is known as a contingency model in that it recognizes that different styles of leadership are necessary in different circumstances.

	Leadership
		The functional leadership model conceives leadership as a set of behaviours that helps a group perform a task, reach their goal, or perform their function.
		In the path-goal model of leadership, developed jointly by Martin Evans and Robert House and based on the "Expectancy Theory of Motivation", a leader has the function of clearing the path toward the goal(s) of the group, by meeting the needs of subordinates.
		For example, the Managerial Grid Model, a behavioral leadership-model developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton in 1964, suggests five different leadership styles, based on leaders' strength of concern for people and their concern for goal achievement.

		Fiedler's logic is that individuals who rate their least preferred coworker in relatively favorable light on these scales derive satisfaction out of interpersonal relationship; those who rate the coworker in a relatively unfavorable light get satisfaction out of successful task performance" (Gray, Starke 264).
		"According to Fiedler, the effectiveness of a leader is determined by the degree of match between a dominant trait of the leader and the favorableness of the situation for the leader....
		Fiedler then extends his analysis by focusing on three key situational factors, which are leader-member, task structure and position power.

	Section Review
		Fiedler proposed that a key factor in leadership success was an individual’s basic leadership style, either task oriented or relationship oriented.
		The model is what we call a normative one, because it provided a sequential set of rules that the leader follows in determining the form and amount of participation in decision-making, as determined by the different situations.
		Path-goal theory is the theory that it is the leader’s job to assist his or her followers in attaining their goals and to provide the direction or support needed to ensure that their goals are compatible with the overall goals of the organization.

	Fiedler contingency model
		The Fiedler continengency model is a leadership theory.
		It states that leaders generally fall into two categories—relationship-oriented and task-oriented—and that a leader of one type could not easily function as a leader of the other type.
		The model supports delegating leaders to various tasks depending on their predominant leadership type.

	LEADERSHIP THEORY FOR PASTORS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Fiedler’s contingency model is grounded in an abundance of research findings and is both descriptive and predictive (Northouse, 2001).
		However, Fiedler’s assumption about the static nature of a leader’s style has been largely ignored by the billion dollar worldwide leadership training industry—which is based on the assumption that a leader can indeed change his or her behavior, and that changing a leader will change the results.
		Though Fiedler’s model is widely accepted in academic circles, many church leaders naturally resist its assumptions.

	SITUATION AND CONTINGENCY
		Knight Fiedler fashioned the LPC colony and held that leader style and trait does not change to fit situation; best to just find the right style and fit them into their favorite situation.
		Fiedler moved away from the Great Man, heroic trait theories of Carle and combined the Behavioral theory (Ohio State initiating structure vs. consideration) with the Bureaucratic theory of Weber and the Structural theory of Woodward to create his contingency model.
		The basic issues is that while Fred Fiedler says the leader does not change his or her stripes, all the other situation models posit that the leader does (perhaps Substitutes is somewhere between).

		Fiedler's Contingency Theory, as discussed in chapter 11 of our text, states that people's leadership styles tend to be either task motivated or relationship motivated.
		The model proposes that a task-oriented leader will be most successful in situations of either very high control or very low control, and that a relationship-oriented leader will be most successful in a position of moderate control (Schermerhorn and Chappell, 176).
		According to Fiedler's model, neither task or relationship motivated styles are effective all the time.
