According to Fiedler's Contingency Model of Leadership, which of the following is a situational variable?

Fred Fiedler’s Contingency Theory posits that effective leadership depends on matching a leader's orientation (task-oriented or relationship-oriented) to the situational control available. Fiedler defined situational control using three key situational variables: Leader-Member Relationship: The extent of trust, loyalty, and respect followers have for the leader. Degree of Task Structure: The extent to which job tasks and procedures are clearly defined and structured. Leader's Position Power: The degree of formal influence and authority the leader holds to reward, discipline, or promote subordinates. Since options (A), (C), and (D) are all three core situational dimensions in Fiedler's framework, (E) All of (A), (C), and (D) is the comprehensive correct option.
