Answer: Attribution theory of leadership

Step-by-step explanation:

Attribution theory is one that gives reason for the cause of behavior. According to the theory, People tend to give explanation for why themselves or other people undergo some actions, and the reasons for such action by attributing causes to such behaviors

Attribution theory of leadership gives insights that the type leadership in the organization depends on how people classify or characterize their leaders and give attributions to explain their leaders performance depending on negative or positive performance experienced.

--- for example People will attribute a leader as having traits of efficiency and intelligence if most of his or her decisions cause improvement or increased productivity to the organisation.
