Theories
Transactional vs.Transformational (Bass 1985) leadershipTansactional: Leader action only in returnfor work action/outputTransformational: Leaders are interested in the whole individual - not just the workerProblematic: Only correlational data for impacof style on output / satisfaction available
3 Features of his model
Laissez faire leadership
leaders areindifferent
undesirable
Transformational Leadership
interested in thethe whole inivid.
esearch suggests: most importantfor effectiveness and satisf. are- idealiszed influence (l= role mod)- inspirational motivation
Transactional leadership
interested in the ind.only in terms of enhancingwork output
Contingendy Theories(Styple depends on circumstandes - suggestingthat no style is appropriate for all situations)
Vroom and Yetten's normative decision model (1973)Using a decision tree- focuses on decicsion makeingand the degree to which dec. mak.involve subordinates.Postive: Reseach indicates that diverse methods of dec. making are seenas more effective.
Five Styles but no best style:Range from autocratic-consultative -group centered.
Style used depends on diff.variables
acceptance
Quality needed
information / time
Fred Fiedlers contingency model (1967)dep on both a) personality character.b) amount of control over sit.Assumes that for extreme cont. var. task centered leaders are best.Problematic: only leadership perspective butunclear how LPC influences the teamsperformance

Style Approach(what leaders do, nothow they describe themselves)Problematic: a) assume subordiatepespective is correct but attribut. theory. b) causality betw. leadershop stye and output unclear because studies based on correleational analyisd) suggests that leader performa uniform style across all persons and sit. e) leaders may not be real leaders
Blake and McCanse (1991)Combination (on Leadership Grid)five mayor leadership styles:- Team Management (most for peopleand most for production)
Ohio Univesity - consideration- Initiation Structure- Production emphasis- Sensitivity
Later Studies just focus on first 2 of those, now:- Employee centered- Production centeredjust one but not both
Stogdill (1963)Considerate leaderscreate pleasant atmoand high morale
Michigan University (1960)Effective Leaders are:- more employee centred- more concerned about thewelfare of subordinatesIneffective Leaders:- more task centered approach
Trait Approach("Great man theories") early work focussing on what personality traits makea good leader)--> Problematic becausea) characteritics are not expressedconsistently across all studies and situations. b) Environmentshave an impact: 1. leadership taskand and 2.) group characteristicsc) some traits may develope in theleadership role
Kirkpatrick & Locke (1991)cognitive ability-drive- honestyintegrity-motivation-persistance-selfconfidence- and knowledge ofbusiness
Lord et al (1986)Leaders: more conservatve- dominant - extrovert- intelligent-masculine- and better adusted
