ADMS 2511 Chapter 17 Notes – Summary
Introduction
Inspirational Leadership
• It’s siplisti to thik eploees are guided to goal aoplishets solel the
actions of their leaders.
• We have introduced a number of variables—such as attitudes, personality, ability, and
group norms— that affect employee performance and satisfaction.
• Leadership is simply another independent variable in our overall organizational
behaviour (OB) model.
• Sometimes the difference between substitutes and neutralizers is fuzzy.
• If I am working on a task that is intrinsically enjoyable, theory predicts that leadership
will be less important because the task itself provides enough motivation.
• But does that mean intrinsically enjoyable tasks neutralize leadership effects, or
substitute for them, or both?
• Another problem is that while substitutes for leadership (such as employee
characteristics, the nature of the task, and so forth) matter to performance, that does
not necessarily mean that leadership does not matter to performance.

very seriously.

number of ways.

a convenient and high-profile location to market traditional arts and crafts.

book and art club, helping to develop the talents of young artists.
