Abstract

In personnel economics, the choice of a leadership style is about the question of how a supervisor should lead his or her employees in such a way that operational goals are achieved. In this paper, we assume that such leadership decisions are made according to the situation. Thus, the optimal or at least a permissible leadership style has to be selected from a set of several possible leadership styles. For this choice a wide range of models has been developed in the scientific literature, from which we want to pick out and focus on the so-called normative decision model by Vroom & Yetton (Vroom/Yetton 1973). While the original model is based on univocal rules, in this paper we develop a fuzzy rule system.
