Abstract

Discusses a number of methodological issues raised by F. Fiedler (see PA, Vol. 46:Issue 4) concerning empirical studies designed to test several hypotheses derived from his contingency model of leadership effectiveness. A number of recommendations are suggested to enhance the information-producing value of future studies designed to test these hypotheses. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
