The volume also includes an introductory chapter by the editors which provides an overview of the history of and current state-of-the-art in the field.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research was an effort to assess the validity of Professor Fiedler's Contingency Model of Leadership Effectiveness within an operational military organization. The model and the theory that it represents postulate that leadership effectiveness is contingent upon the leadership style (motivational structure) of the work group leader and three situational variables: the favorability of leader-member relations (group atmosphere), the degree to which the primary group task is clear or ambiguous (task structure) and the degree of formal authority which the organization bestows upon the leader (position power). The three situational variables establish the degree of situational favorability for the leader with good group atmosphere, a structured task, and high position power being the highest degree of situational favorability. Leaders can be identified as being primarily task oriented or primarily interpersonal relationship oriented. (Modified author abstract).

This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past half-century has witnessed a dramatic increase in the scale and complexity of scientific research. The growing scale of science has been accompanied by a shift toward collaborative research, referred to as "team science." Scientific research is increasingly conducted by small teams and larger groups rather than individual investigators, but the challenges of collaboration can slow these teams' progress in achieving their scientific goals. How does a team-based approach work, and how can universities and research institutions support teams? Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science synthesizes and integrates the available research to provide guidance on assembling the science team; leadership, education and professional development for science teams and groups. It also examines institutional and organizational structures and policies to support science teams and identifies areas where further research is needed to help science teams and groups achieve their scientific and translational goals. This report offers major public policy recommendations for science research agencies and policymakers, as well as recommendations for individual scientists, disciplinary associations, and research universities. Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science will be of interest to university research administrators, team science leaders, science faculty, and graduate and postdoctoral students.
Download or read book Fiedler s Contingency Model of Leadership Effectiveness Possible Implications for a Manager written by Hugh L. Scott and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current trend within the Department of Defense is to reduce the force structure without impairing mission accomplishment. To this end, emphasis is being placed upon improving the management of people. Managers are being asked to do more with fewer personnel. If they are to be expected to achieve more with fewer people, then there should be an organized effort to provide those managers with methods to improve managing human resources. This paper briefly traces the emergence since the end of World War II of certain aspects of behavioral science as they apply to the manager. The result of the post World War II studies led social scientists to seriously consider the possibilities of the inter-action between leaders and groups in various situations as a fruitful area for extensive research. Within this general research area this paper reviews one contemporary theory, Fiedler's Contingency Model of Leadership Effectiveness, to determine its possible applicability to the program manager.

Download or read book Leadership written by Robert P. Vecchio and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, there are a growing number of business schools, law schools, and continuing education programs in executive development and management training that offer leadership classes. Despite the growing curricular recognition of this area, there is a shortage of strong college-level texts. Leadership, second edition—a completely up-to-date anthology of key writings by well-known contributors—meets this need for a textbook that encompasses the major theories in the field of leadership. Leadership is divided into six sections. Part I provides an overview of the subject with readings that examine what leaders actually do, as well as the many myths surrounding the notion of leadership. Part II focuses on the fundamentals of leadership by taking a close look at the specific tactics people use to get their own way. These readings analyze the political games people play and the two-way nature of leader-subordinate influence. Part III considers problems that can arise from leadership gone wrong—when power and influence are abused. The major formal models of leadership that have been offered over the years are reviewed in Part IV. The next section looks at contemporary views of leadership, emphasizing reliance on maturity of subordinates for success, including leadership in the context of self-directed work teams, entrepreneurial leadership, the notion of the leader as servant, and examples of leaders who are recognized for having empowered others or for providing moral leadership. The final section examines the roles of societal and organizational cultures as they pertain to leadership. Robert P. Vecchio has updated the second edition with six new articles. Aimed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level courses, Leadership continues to provide classic essays by the major figures in the field of leadership along with topical essays on current and emerging issues.
