  Participative and achievement-oriented behaviors are different from the other two behaviors in situational approach (coaching and delegating). Compare and contrast these four behaviors using your knowledge of both the situational approach and path-goal approach.

Answer to #1

Answers will vary but should include a discussion of each of the four behaviors.
Coachingis high supportive and high directive. There is a high level of involvement with the follower, which is somewhat similar to participative in path-goal. However, in coaching the leader makes the final decision, and in participative behavior the decisions are made with input from the followers. Delegating is low supportive and low directive. It is used in situational approach when the leader trusts the followers because they are competent and committed. The achievement-oriented style in path-goal might have some similarities because leaders use this style with followers who have a high need to excel and are welcoming of challenges.
