Summary:Some recent research on Fiedler's contingency model has shown support for an interpretation of situational favorability as a perceived environmental uncertainty dimension. The interpretation has a number of advantages including the possibility that such an interpretation of situational favorability enables Fiedler's work to be a integrated with other contingency approaches currently receiving supportive attention.
