Answer:

a. Maturity of the followers b. Clarity of the task d. Organizational support for the leader

Step-by-step explanation:

This approach was birthed by Fred Fiedler in 1958 in his research of leader effectiveness in group situations. According to him a leader need not remain fixed in his skills and styles of leadership given that situations change and require a different style and approach to deal with them. He therefore elucidated that an effective leader based on the contingency theory of leadership approach matches his style and skill to the situation or problem at hand. The factors this leader pays attention may invariably alter his style of leadership hence. Factors include : followers, organizational support, leader, and environment
