Fiedler's Contingency Theory Questions
and Answers
Contingency theory - answer The association between leadership orientation and
group effectiveness is contingent on how favorable the situation is for exerting influence
1. Leadership Orientation - answer Which is measure by having a leader describe
their Least Preferred Co-worker(LPS): a current or past co-worker with whom a leader
has had a difficult time accomplishing a task
LPC score - answer An attitude for the leader toward work relationships. It reveals a
personality trust that reflects the leader's motivational structure.
High LPC score - answer The leader who describes the LPC relatively favorably can
be considered relationship oriented (despite the fact that the LPC is or was difficult to
work with, the leader can still find positive qualities in him or her) high LPC leaders are
motivated to maintain interpersonal relations
Low LPC score - answer The leader who describes the LPC unfavorably can be
considered task oriented. Low LPC leaders are motivated to accomplish the task
2. Situational Favorableness - answer It specifies when a particular LPC orientation
should contribute most to group effectiveness
Three factors of situational Favorableness - answer -Leader-member relations(good)

3. The Contingency Model - answer The model indicates that a task orientation(low
LPC) is most effective when the leadership situation is very favorable or when it is very
unfavorable. High LPC is most effective in conditions of medium favorability.

achievement of others in an organizational context.
