employees are highly productive and satisfied with their jobs. Sudhir sets high goals and a clear direction for completing the tasks. He also gets involved in meeting the goals and is very involved in the process. What leadership theory is Sudhir using?Solution
Robert J. House, founder of Path-Goal theory, believes that a leader's behavior is contingent to employee satisfaction, employee motivation and employee performance. Path-Goal theory states that a good leader provides clear direction, sets high goals, gets involved in goal achievement and supports his employees. The employees, as a result, will be a more satisfied and productive team. It also states that employees will accept a leader's direction if the employee believes that there will be an immediate or future benefit that results from work.
