Abstract
Abstract : A 32-item Least-Preferred Coworker (LPC) scale was administered to 260 Army reservists participating in a field training exercise. The LPC scale yielded a 5-factor structure similar to a commonly recurring factor structure reported in the literature on peer ratings and implicit personality theory. Correlations between LPC factor scores and various performance criteria were examined for formal leaders, highest endorsed members, and nonendorsed members. Results suggest that the LPC dimensions are differentially predictive as a function of the criterion involved and the role of the individual in the team. Results were discussed in terms of item relevance and various psychometric properties of the LPC scale. The discovery of this particular 5-factor structure may represent a major step toward resolving the enigmatic quality of LPC by tying it to existing literature not dealing specifically with the LPC scale. There may be relationships between leader behavior and specific LPC dimensions.
