Situational leadership theory: a test of leadership prescriptions

Article Abstract:

Interactions between leadership behavior and follower readiness hypothesized by the Situational Leadership Theory (SLT) were not supported in a recent research test. The empirical test of SLT prediction found in the 1988 work of Hersey and Blanchard indicates that leadership styles displaying high consideration are correlated consistently with employee satisfaction and and that leadership styles combining high consideration with structure contribute to the development of role-specific attitudes. Structure combined with high consideration can result in increased levels of open communication, less ambiguity in expectations, and improved supervisor-subordinate relationships.
