36. After assessing task characteristics, the leader should assess group members'
orientations. If they like psychological structure and certainty, then the leader
should use a directive style. If members have a strong sense of agency and like to
be involved in decision-making, then a participative style of leadership is called
for. For members who are self-motivated and strive to excel, an
achievement-oriented leadership style would be most effective.

37. The path-goal approach is based on expectancy theory, “which suggests that
subordinates will be motivated if they think they are capable of performing their
work, if they believe their efforts will result in a certain outcome, and if they believe
that the payoffs for doing their work are worthwhile.” Leaders motivate by
making subordinates' paths to their goal clear, and their work conditions more
satisfying. This involves choosing the leader behaviors that best fit subordinate
needs (affiliation, etc.) and task characteristics (formal authority, group norms,
etc.).
38. Answer should give an overview of the following behaviors and then offer
supported suggestions: directive behavior, supportive behavior, participative
behavior, achievement-oriented behavior
