Contingency Theory

Fred Fiedler

It is the first theory which came in as contingency. The theory says that the group performance is far better as, it provides better outcomes. It also results in the factors of interaction. These factors are commonly known as leadership factors. It also identifies the factors which are important to lead in the environment.

The theory has strengths and weaknesses both. Its major variables are as follows:

Technology "refers to the sum total of knowledge available to us on how to do things, includes events, technical, design, production, processes and tasks,” this variable according to studies by the contingent theoretical directly affects the company's operational base, the division of labor, creation of hierarchies and functional processes, which vary by type of organization.

Age of the organization influences the design, functions and the formalization of the organization. This variable along with the size affect largely middle management and executive staffs, which are essential to fulfill effectively the processes of the organization.

Property can be considered an element of power, but given its importance is studied as a separate variable, it determines the performance and design of the organization tends to directly affect senior management

The environment: it is the context in which the organization which "is one that will fit" or disappear from the market, this variable explains studied the conversion of inputs input and outputs output and the transactions between the company and the environment.

In calling for a fundamental openness of art is also referred critically to the aesthetic of modernism reference.

It has social consequences.
