encompasses several methods that involve the use of structured work analysis questionnaires that can be scored in terms of work dimensions or job compenets, each of which has pre-established realtionships with one or more predictor constructs or measures (Pearlman & Sanchez, 2010)
pure situational leadership theory (Vroom & Judge)
established by Perrow (1970). the real causes of effective and ineffective organizational leadership reside in structural features rather than the characteristics of the people who lead those organizations. The traits of leaders reflect the mechanisms by which they are selected, and their behavior is constrained by the situations that they face. Perrow also argued that leadership should be viewed as a dependent rather than a independent variable.
consideration (Vroom & Jago, 2007)
establishment of mutual trust, two-way communication, rapport, and a concern for the employee as a human being both in and out of the work setting
Interest in O topics as applied social psychology began in 1930s to WWII. Interest in workers as human beings and noneconomic issues such as job satisfaction, autonomy, and working conditions grew after WWII (Katzell & Austin, 1992)

divided leaders into relationship-motivated and task-motived groups by means of their relatively favorable or un favorable description of the leader's least preferred coworker on a set of bipolar adjectives. He argued that one's leadership motivation is a rather enduring characteristic that is not subject to change or adaptation, but leader effectiveness is contingent on the situation matching their style.
Explain Fiedler (1967) contigency model *note: read about in (Vroom & Jago, 2007)
uses the original leadership sclae and shifts the source of leadership from the dormal leader to team members and aggregates team members' ratings to the team level
Explain how the aggregation approach to measuring shared leadership is conducted (Zhu et al., 2018)
Genetics and natural selection processes lead to traits. These traits lead to getting along, getting ahead, providing meaning, and skills and abilities. That leads to emergence of leadership, resulting in subjective leader effectiveness and objective leader effectiveness. moderators for emergence to subjective include traits and implicit leadership theories. emergence and subjective leader effectiveness include moderators like threats, resources, and culture.
Explain the leader trait emergence effectiveness model (Judge et al., 2009).
assume that dyadic leader-follower relationships jointly form the overall leadership structure within a group. It tests in fact whether the assumed dyadic leading-following connections exist and then merges those dyads into a larger collective network

As a field, we have only modestly and sometimes only indirectly addressed the human capital issues of times such as talent management, work-life programs, diversity, globalization, ethics, and ethical leadership.
shared leadership is more strongly related to attitudinal outcomes and behavioral processes and emergent states compared with subjective and objective outcomes.
What is important to know about shared leadership's association with outcomes of interest according to Wang, Waldman, & Zhang (2014)?

What is the principle given by Landy, Gutman, & Outz, 2010 that refers to online recruitment?
Adverse impact may appear at any or all stages of a multistage selection or promotion decision process. It should be examined at every point at it may appear. If there is no adverse impact at a particular step, there is no requirement that a selection procdure represent in that be job related. MQs represent a "stage" in a selection process and should be considered as vulnerable to challenge as a traditional predictor would be.
What is the principle given by Landy, Gutman, and Outz (2010) regarding adverse impact?

What is the principle outlined by Landy, Gutman, & Outz (2010) regarding the significance of criterion-related validity coefficients?
The search for alternatives to procedures that might result in or have resulted in lesser adverse impact is split between defendants and plaintiffs. At the outset of a selection project, defendants should consider alternatives that will meet business needs, be job-related and will minimize adverse impact. After a demonsration of job-relatedness, the plaintiffs ahve the burden of demonstrating that there is an alternative procedure that might retain the same levels or similar levels of job-relatedness but shows lesser adverse impact.
What is the prinicipal outlined by Landy, Gutman, & Outz, 2010 in regards to alternatives and adverse impact?
- the closer employees perceived their actual manager's profile to be to the ILTs they endoresed, the better the quality of LMX -Epitropaki & Martin (2005)

Empowering leadership (Zhu et al., 2018)
the extent to which leaders enhance, autonomy, control, self-management, and confidence in their team
path-goal theory (Vroom & Jago, 2007)
the leader's role is to create and manage subordinate paths toward individual and group goals, to clarify expectations, and to supplement the environment when sufficient rewards from the environment are lacking. the effectiveness of consideration and initiating structure are thought to depend on contingency factor found in subordinate characteristics and environmental characteristics.
effective cut score
the score below which no one is hired or appointed (Landy, Gutman, & Outz, 2010)
