Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

LPC contingency theory comes from Fiedler. He postulates that a leader's contribution to the successful performance of his/her team is determined by his/her tendency to evaluate in a favorable or unfavorable way the person whom he/she finds it most difficult to work (Least preferred co-worker). Situational leadership argues that a leader should adjust his/her style to meet the maturity of the worker. The leader balances task behavior and relationship behavior, depending on the willingness and ability of the worker to perform a given task. Path-goal theory sees the leader's task as helping employees accomplish their goals. The more he/she helps, the more favorable impression workers have of the leader.
