Situational Leadership Theory
测试了Hersey和Blanchard的情境领导理论，基于91名全职护士及其主管的数据，分析员工绩效、成熟度、情感与领导风格的关系，结果在低中成熟度条件下支持理论但不显著。
In a test of Hersey and Blanchard's situational leadership theory, 91 full-time nurses and their supervisors provided data on employee performance, maturity, and affect as well as leader style. Although directional results were obtained that supported the theory in the low- and moderate-maturity conditions, the magnitude of these results was not significant. Further research in this area is encouraged, with a goal of overcoming the shortcomings of prior research and the obstacles that may be inherent in the study of the proposed processes.
