Abstract
Recent reviews of leadership have illustrated that Fiedler's (1967) model of leadership is one of the more fully developed theories for the explanation and prediction of effective leader behavior (Jacobs, 1970; Stogdill, 1974; Chemers and Rice, 1974; Hunt and Larson, 1974). This model, originating in investigations of interpersonal perception in psychotherapeutic settings (Fiedler, 1951), is based on the premise that effective leadership is contingent upon two general classes of variables: (1) personality attributes of the leader, and (2) the extent to which the leader has effective control over the situation. The former class of influences is the prime focus of the present research. Our specific concern is with differences in personality attributes between Black and White work supervisors.
