Robert House, Path Goal theory
Equations are omitted for technical reasons - download the original pdf
House's Path-Goal theory suggests that the most effective leaders are those who show employees how their performance will lead directly to tangible results. In House`s study two broad factors determine the appropriate leadership style: 1. Characteristics of the subordinate - age, ability, acceptance of authority. 2. Environmental factors - nature of the task, structure of the organisation. A general rule is that employees performing routine and highly structured tasks prefer a supportive leader, whereas employees performing unstructured tasks prefer a leader who directs the workforce.
