Suppose the bivariate effect of age on favourableness towards nuclear defence was strongly positive.

Fiedler emphasises the importance of the relative favourableness of the situation for the leader.

The column, which assessed the favourableness of certain investments in shares, had the potential for affecting the price of the securities it examined.

Three situational components determine the favourableness of situational control:

I mean the consideration of the favourableness of the present times to all exertions in the cause of liberty."

Of late, such things as increases in taxation and regulation have tended to diminish the favourableness of the political-legal environment for UK industry.

This favourableness depends not only on leader-member relations and the degree of structure in the task, but also on the power and authority of the position.

'Group performance will be contingent upon the appropriate matching of leadership styles and the degree of favourableness of the group situation for the leader, that is, the degree to which the situation provides the leader with influence over his group members.'

In his 1976 book Improving Leadership Effectiveness: The Leader Match Concept, Fiedler (with Martin Chemers and Linda Mahar) offers a self paced leadership training programme designed to help leaders alter the favourableness of the situation, or situational control.

This model contains the relationship between leadership style and the favorableness of the situation.

The experiment, which involved strong manipulation and specification of variables affecting situational favorableness, produced strong support for the contingency model.
