Popis:	Previous research has indicated that information about leaders is primarily stored in memory in trait form. Hence, it was hypothesized that a trait listing technique would be more accurate than traditional methods in eliciting recommendations about leadership style. Sixty-four evening MBA students made recommendations about appropriate managerial behavioral under four different types of relative task complexity. Accuracy was judged by comparing the recommendations with a previous study that varied relative task complexity and rates of order-giving. Recommendations made by the students using a trait-listing technique accurately matched the amount of directive behavior to the situation. Recommendations made by the students using more traditional close-ended items, however, failed to reflect the complex relationship between managerial behavior and relative task complexity.
