LEAST PREFERRED COWORKER SCALE
A scale to measure the popularity of the leaders in the workforce. The Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) scale, developed by American psychologist Fred Fielder, aims to determine an individual’s leadership style, whether he or she is a relationship-oriented or a task-oriented leader. This scale requires employees to rate the co-worker they would least want to work with, on a range between two bipolar adjectives: positive factors and negative factors. The scale will be from 18 to 25 and the rate will be from 1 to 8.
A high LPC score signifies the person is a relationship-oriented leader; a low LPC score means he or she is a task-oriented leader. In other words, the higher the LPC score is, the greater the overall positive feeling towards them.
