Synopsis

Excerpt from Leadership Behavior, Budgetary Participation and Performance

A more recent study by Hopwood (1972, 197n) provided some insight into Decoster aux! Fertakis' result. Hopwood identified different combinations of the two leadership style dimensions, consideration and structure initiation, as representing what he called profit conscious and budget constrained, styles, as he studied the effect of leadership tendencies on job-related tension. His most interesting result was that unbalanced styles, that is high on one leadership dimension and low on the other, were significantly related to the level of job tension. In particular, he hypothesized that leadership style high. On structure and low' on consideration would have a positive effect on job tension.
