PathGoalModel
Pathgoaltheory(cont.)
Path-goal theory proposes two situational or contingency
variables that moderate the leadership behavior-outcome
relationship: those in the environment that are outside the
control of the follower (factors including task structure,
formal authority system, and the work group) and those
that are part of the personal characteristics of the follower
(including locus of control, experience, and perceived
ability).
