Fiona is the daytime supervisor for an online sales company. She supervises 57 people who perform relatively routine jobs that require minimal training. The shop is unionized, so Fiona has little latitude when it comes to dismissing poor performers. However, she does have the authority to transfer employees and has been known to reassign poor performers to less desirable jobs on in the company. Fiona has a reputation for only transferring employees with just cause, and generally is viewed as a fair supervisor by her employees. Although she would like greater autonomy to determine salaries, Fiona generally divides bonuses and raises equally among her employees. To do otherwise would likely create conflict with union members and representatives. According to Fiedler's model, how would Fiona's leader-member relations be described? Multiple Choice nonexistent

Fiona's leader-member relations can be described as good

Explanation:

Fiedler's contingency model states that there is no one best style of leadership.

The model argued that, a leader's effectiveness is based on the situation.

Based on this model, we know that Fiona's style of leadership is good for the union because her style was seen as fair by her employees and failure to act in the way and manner she acts would likely create despute within union members and representatives.
