his theory believes in situational behaviour of
the leaders & holds that the leadership is strongly
affected by the situation in which it works. he theory
believes that is the situation which develops a
leadership & form which a leader emerges. According
to this theory, leadership pattern is the product of
situation in a particular group & the nature of
leadership differs in different situations. he great
leaders like Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy,
Mao se ung in China & Shivaji Maharaj of our
Maharashtra, emerged as a result of particular
situation in their respective countries.

his theory tells that, leadership is developed on
the basis of acceptance from followers. Leadership
cannot exist without group. A study of the
characteristics of the follower·s group is also necessary
to understand the nature of leadership. If leader is
successful in leading his group, satisfying them &
motivating them, he will be assumed to be a goal
leader. According to this theory, people tend, to follow
those persons who, according to them will satisfy their
personal wants & desires. he followers should feel
that the leader is a source of information & satisfies
their needs. hus according to this theory, an
individual can become the leader, if the group
members accept him so.

Fred Fielder & his associates conducted a
comprehensive research at University of Illinois, U.S.A
over the leadership styles & effective group performance.
his theory is not particularly associated with the
emergence or development of leadership as in case of
earlier three theories.
According to this theory, a leader may take into
account two extreme approaches to accomplish the group
goals. his includes task oriented approach & people
oriented approach.
ask oriented leader or manager gives utmost
importance to accomplishment of task, without
considering the reactions & expectations of his
subordinates. People oriented leader or manager,
however gives maximum attention to the expectations,
reactions & responses of his subordinates. Which
leadership style, task-oriented or people oriented is
better, is contigent upon the nature of situation,
rather than ability of the leader.
#3"#2 9$)&!)3/8"" (+)( '&)$(#'32'*

Hersey & Blanchard believed that
relationship between leader & subordinates moves
through phases- a kind of life cycle ² as subordinates
develop & mature & the managers need to vary their
leadership styles with each phase, like Directiveness,
Supportiveness, Participativeness, Achievement-
orientedness. In the initial stage, subordinates are to
be instructed in their job & rules & procedures etc.
As subordinates start learning their tasks, they are not
able to accept full responsibility, the manager shall
initiate employee-oriented behaviour. In the third
phase the employees ability & achievement of
motivation are increased & seek greater responsibility.
In the final stage manager can reduce the amount of
support & encouragement as subordinates gradually
become more confident & hence manager gives only
directive relationship
A few examples of four stages are as follows:
a) Providing specific guidance as to what should be
done.
b) Showing concern for well being of subordinates &
being friendly & approachable.
c) Soliciting subordinate suggestions.
d) Showing a high degree of confidence in subordinate.
·)(')$#'32'*m#)/#3" .
his theory states that the leader lays the path
towards goals & he provide rewards for achieving
them. A leader should understand the needs of people
& their desire to work or behave in a way that
accomplishes goals that satisfy those needs. If the
leader knows the need of the person & his desire to
work & he is able to accomplish the work, the leader
can reward him to make him feel happy & satisfied. In
this process:
1) he leader is motivating the members of the group by
clarifying the path to personal rewards that result
from attaining work goals.
2) he member is made aware of the path goal & what
the job requires.
3) he leader must offer the reward to the member of
the group who actually accomplishes the task. he
leaders judgement about the desirability of the
member·s effort & the goal helps him to decide
whether a reward can be given.
