Contingency Theory versus Situational Theory
becky, Member
I'm finding it really interesting how confusing and cross defined this subject is.
I think that situational and contingency could almost be band under the same group; to be honest they are very similar.
Dou you agree? If not, what difference you know of?

Contingency versus SituationalAntonio C A Maximiano, Member In my perception, contingent and situational are the same concepts. Contingent means dependent on the situation or the circunstances; hence, contingent is situational. |

Contingent versus SituationalAntonio C A Maximiano, Member I did watch the video, but I am not convinced. If contingent means adapting the leader to the situation and situational means adapting the style to the situation, I can't see how the two may be so different. I would like to know of an original support to this point, not that in the video. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Tks. |

Contingent versus SituationalJaap de Jonge, Editor Typically,
- SLT would mean that a leader can flexibly adapt to a follower should the follower change.
- CT would mean you need another leader if the circumstances change / are different.
So they seem similar in that they consider the situation, but in how they deal with changing or different situations is quite different. |
