Abstract
In line with previous research and our prediction, self- and subordina te descriptions of the behavior of 92 supervisors are only weakly rela ted. Also, congruence between these two descriptions is positively rel ated to three measures of situational control. These findings are cong ruent with Fiedler's view that leaders describe themselves as they are in high-control situations.
