Abstract
Summary To test the validity of the most frequently cited interpretation of the least preferred co-worker (LPC) construct (i.e., task orientation versus supportive-interpersonal orientation), situational conditions specified by Fiedler's Contingency Model were created for 48, four-man groups (total N = 192 U.S. enlisted men). Group performance was measured on 108 dependent variables. Results of binomial analyses suggested that leader self-described supportiveness is an acceptable (indeed, preferable) alternative to the LPC construct for the purpose of predicting group performance.
