Instructions: Think about your current job or a job you have held in the past. Please answer whether each of the following items is Mostly False or Mostly True for you in that job. Mostly False Mostly True 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Because of the nature of the tasks I perform, there is little doubt about the best way to do them. My job duties are so simple that almost anyone could perform them well after a little instruction. It is difficult to figure out the best way to do many of my tasks and activities. There is really only one correct way to perform most of the tasks I do. After I've completed a task, I can tell right away from the results I get whether I have performed it correctly. My job is the kind where you can finish a task and not know if you've made a mistake or error. Because of the nature of the tasks I do, it is easy for me to see when I have done something exceptionally well. I get lots of satisfaction from the work I do. It is hard to imagine that anyone could enjoy performing the tasks I have performed on my job. My job satisfaction depends primarily on the nature of the tasks and activities I perform. Scoring and Interpretation For your task structure score, give yourself one point for Mostly True answers to items 1, 2, and 4, and for a Mostly False answer to item 3. This is your score for Task Struct 2 For your task feedback score, give yourself one point for Mostly True answers to items 5 and 7, and for a Mostly False answer to itern 6. This is your score for Task Feedback 3 For your intrinsic satisfaction score, score one point for Mostly True answers to items 8 and 10, and for a Mostly False answer to item 9. This is your score for Intrinsic Satisfaction:. A high score (3 or 4) for Task Structure or Task Feedback indicates a high potential for those elements to act as a substitute for task-oriented leadership. A high score (3) for Intrinsic Satisfaction indicates the potential to be a substitute for people-oriented leadership. Does your leader adopt a style that is complementary to the task situation, or is the leader guilty of leadership overkill? How can you apply this understanding to your own actions as a leader?
