Abstract
This research was conducted (1) to ascertain empirical weights for the components of situational favorableness (i.e., Leader—Member Relations, Task Structure, and Position Power) in Fiedler's theory of leadership and (2) to examine the relationship between judged favorableness of leadership situations and judged probability of success in them. Results of one experimental condition showed that Leader—Member Relations was weighted more than Task Structure, and Task Structure was weighted more than Position Power in participants' judgments of perceived situational favorableness. Results of the second experimental condition showed judgments of probability of a leader's success to be a negatively accelerated monotonic function of situational favorableness.
