Abstract
Classic leader behavior theory as developed by researchers from Ohio State University and the University of Michigan from the mid-20th Century identified two crucial behavioral dimensions: concern for production/task completion, and concern for the social aspects of group members. In the 1990s Nordic researchers identified a third potential dimension: concern for the development of group members/followers. Given the increasing importance of human capital and knowledge work to the changing 21st Century workplace and the evolving nature of the psychological contract between employees and their organizations, a fuller discussion of the relationships created by simultaneously considering all three dimensions of leader behavior is warranted. This paper explores the germane 2 x 2 x 2 model.
