Abstract
Present study explored relationships
between interpersonal needs
and leadership styles in superiorsubordinate
context. Interpersonal
behaviour defined by inclusion and
affection dimensions of FIRO-B
related more strongly to participative
and nurturant dimensions than
task behaviour dimension of leaders,
while control expressed
behaviour failed to show any relationship
with task-orientation. Extroversion
based on total scores of
expressed components of FIRO-B
demonstrated significant influence
on task orientation, participative
and nurturant leadership dimensions.
However, inclusion and affection
continued to sustain similar
trend of relationship with the
participative and nurturant dimensions,
whereas control expressed
behaviour partly confirmed relationship
with task orientation
being a fragment of nurturancetask
dimension.
