The Evolution of Leadership and Management Theories

2-Factor TheorySince the mid-1940s, researchers have identified 2 factors that are important in leadership: consideration and initiating structure. Consideration is relevant to people-oriented concerns. Initiating structure is relevant to the organisation and completion of work. The consideration and initiating structure model has been studied in and has been found to generalize across different countries and in different organisational contexts. Prior to the identification of the 2-factor theory, trait theories tended to dominate leadership research. With the trait approach, researchers tried to identify underlying, cross-situationally stable characteristics that defined one person as a leader relative to another person.  True False1.
