Question

Nelson supervises a group of assistants serving the company’s editors. He gets along well with his employees, and he has created detailed procedures for all the types of editorial documents they encounter. Nelson hires and fires; he also gives work assignments, performance appraisals, and promotions. Using the contingency model, what leadership style is Nelson using?

Answer 1

Answer:

Transactional Leadership Style

Explanation:

Nelson is using the transnational leadership style. It is reward/punishment model.

Since Nelson hires and fires; he also gives work assignments, performance appraisals, and promotions, it clearly means that on one hand where he rewards the hard workers through promotions and appraisals, he also punishes them for not working up to the mar or slacking through firing them.

Therefore it is a transactional activity where the employee is treated on the basis of his performance.
