Leadership Questionnaire (From the perspective of leaders)

10 Path-Goal Theory Leader is seen as important in providing a path for employees to attain desired goals Directive [leader tells subordinates how to perform tasks; provides guidelines and structure] Supportive [leader shows caring and concern for subordinates’ well- being] Participative [leader involves subordinates in decision-making] Achievement-oriented [leader sets specific and challenging goals; promotes high work-related aspirations and goal attainment] Leadership Behaviors (must be able to use all four types when necessary. Use varies with such factors as employee ability, work environment, group size)

11 Path Goal (cont.) What can leaders do to help employees attain goals? 1)Remove obstacles/problems to gain attainment 2)Provide valued incentives to employees 3) Clarify paths to goals (e.g., use of feedback) Job Rewards Satisfaction Leader Rewards Acceptance of Leader Effort Performance Performance Rewards Motivation

12 Vroom-Yetton-Yago Model [A Model of Decision Making] Autocratic A1: Use available information; makes sole decision A2: Get employee to acquire some information; makes sole decision Consultative C1: Leader gets individual input regarding a decision; makes sole decision C2: Leader get group input regarding a decision; makes sole decision Group G2: Total group decision-making; leader is an equal member in the group

13 Vroom-Yetton-Yago Model (cont.) General Criteria for Selecting Decision-Making Strategy A) Time (e.g., immediate decision vs. ample time available) B) Decision Quality (e.g., routine decision vs. high quality decision required) C) Group Acceptance (of the decision itself and the process used)

14 1.Does the problem require a quality solution? 2.Does the leader have enough information to make a high-quality decision? 3.Is the problem structured? 4. Is acceptance by subordinates important for the effective implementation of the solution? 5. Is the leader certain that the decision will be accepted by subordinates if he/she makes the decision alone? 6. Do subordinates have the same organizational goals that will be obtained by solving the problem? 7. Is conflict among subordinates probable in obtaining a solution? ~ Specific Vroom-Yetton Decision-Making Tree Questions ~

15 Participative Decision-Making Pros: Increases cooperation and communication Enhances employee identification & acceptance of decisions Can lead to better quality decisions Gives employees better understanding of decision complexity and issues Cons: Takes more time to make decisions Who to involve in decision-making (e.g., employee knowledge & motivation issues) What decisions to involve employees in making (all, some) and who decides Incentives for employees (increased costs?)

16 Leader-Member Exchange Theory (LMX) Leader Subordinates Evaluation of subordinates on: Ability Trust Responsibility In-Group [e.g., better job duties, greater rewards, more visibility, treated with warmth and caring by the leader, greater access to information] Perceived similarity Gender

28 “... the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.” --- Ralph Nader ~ Interdependence of Leaders and Followers ~ Some Basic Points Leadership is a process, not a person Process is dynamic and reciprocal (not top down) Situational context is crucial (e.g., demands, resources) Importance of follower characteristics (needs, expectation, perceptions) and their responses
