Answer 1

In Fiedler's model, this firm would be said to have low task structure good leader .

Option a

Explanation:

According to Fiedler's model that is Theory of Leadership which states that leadership style will always be matched with the situations. This theory is based on the principle that everyone has unique style which can be attained on the Least Preferred Co-worker (LPC) scale.

Based on the LPC, if a high score is attained then it is stated that leader as human relations orientation and if the score is low then it is attributed that leadership indicates task orientation. The assumption of Fiedler theory is that everyone’s least preferred co worker in fact is on average about equally disagreeable.
