Situational And Contingency Theory
Situational theory occurred as the
response to the trait theory of leadership. Spencer (1884) claimed that the
times establish the person and not the other way around. The assumption of this
theory is that the divergent circumstances request different typical of one’s;
this theory pointed out that there is no single optimum psychographic profile
of a leader exists. According to the theory, what an individual actually does when
acting as a leader is in enormous part dependent upon characteristics of the circumstances/situation
in which he functions. The theorists delineated the style of leadership as
contingent to the circumstances/situation, which sometimes relegated as
contingency theory.
Functional Theory
A particular useful
theory to address specific behaviors of leaders expected to contribute to
organizational or unit effectiveness is refers to the functional leadership
theory according to Hackman & Walton (1986) and McGrath (1962). The argument of this theory is that the
leaders’ primary job is to examine whatever is indispensable to the group needs
is taken care of; thus it can be said that the leaders have done well their job
when they have contributed to group effectiveness and cohesion (Fleishmena
et.al., 1991, Hacman & Wageman, 2005, Hackman & Walton, 1986).
Transactional and Transformational Theory
Burns, 1978
pointed out that the transactional leaders are granted power to execute special
tasks and reward or punish for the team’s execution/performance. Leaders are
granted power in order to evaluate, correct and train the followers when the
productivity is not up to the desired level and reward effectiveness when
expected outcome is reached. A leader that implements this theory tend to
motivates the team to be efficient and effective. The best way for achieving
the final desired outcome or goal is communication.
