Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: According to contingency theory, the manager adapts leadership styles in relation to changing situations; these styles range from authoritarian to permissive. This is not the best choice for this situation.
Rationale 2: Quantum leadership focuses on outcomes, and employees are directly involved in decision making. This is not the best choice for this situation.
Rationale 3: Transactional leadership is based on the premise that individuals engage in social interactions expecting to give and receive rewards. This is not the best choice for this situation.
Rationale 4: Transformational leadership is concerned not with the status quo but with effecting revolutionary change in organizations and human service.
