    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.
