Leadership Styles for Foodservice Managers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore foodservice managers' leadership styles and to investigate the effect of situational leadership styles (supportive, directive, participative, and achievement oriented) on subordinates' motivation for work effectiveness. This is the first test of path-goal leadership theory in the foodservice context. The result of this study indicates that foodservice managers utilize all of the situational leadership styles (supportive, directive, participative, and achievement oriented) employed for this study. The result also indicates that supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented leadership styles are influential in predicting subordinates' motivation for work effectiveness. Implications and suggestions for further study are given.
