Fiedler's contingency model is coined by Fred Fiedler who was a psychologist in mid
1960's it was in the field of management. This is theory determines the role and effectiveness of
the leader in an organisation (Vance, 2020). Feidler's believed that leadership styles are learned
from experiences which are difficult to change according to the situations (Shao, Feng and Hu,
2016). Fiedler's leadership theories coined round that the leadership style is fixed. In feidler's
leadership style thee are two leadership styles these are leadership style n situational
adorableness. This theory revolves around defining that how leaders in the workplaces can
improve the efficiencies while performing different organisational activities. It helps to the
leaders to formulate best decisions that suits different organisational events (Sofijanova and et.al.,
2016). Its is the situational theory which defines that leader in an organisation leader through
experiences and thus which results in difficulty to change the behaviour of the leaders. Fiedler's
leadership theory revolves around the personality of the leaders and degree to which the leaders
in the workplaces behaves of different situation in the workplace. It min focuses on the
behaviour of leaders in different business events that how the leader motivates and encourage the
employees in the workplace. The way leader interacts with the employees influences them to
work efficiently (Bello, 2015). This model states that it is segmented in two factors which are
leadership style and situational favourableness.
