The Effects of Task Organization and Member Compatibility on Leader-member Relations in Small Groups
註釋Task cooperation requirements and group member compatibility effects on leader-member relations in three person laboratory groups were studied. Using Structural Role Theory, two forms of cooperation were defined-coordination and collaboration. Member compatibility was defined by Schutz's (1958) 'interchange compatibility' on three needs measured by his FIRO-B scale. The needs were (1) need for affection, (2) need for inclusion, and (3) need for control. The results showed that leader-member relations were affected by (1) the coordination requirements of the task and by (2) the interaction of the collaboration requirements with the compatibility of group members. The implications of the results for Fiedler's (1964, 1967) Contingency Model of leadership were discussed. (Author).
