Fiedler's Contingency Model

Refer to the discussion of Fiedler’s original work on contingency theory found in the Yukl (2013) text. There has been much debate over the validity of this model (and related extensions). Is a contingency approach still applicable in the workforce today? If yes, when is it appropriate? If no, why not? Please support your position with at least two outside sources in addition to required readings. Your initial post should be at least 300 words. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings by Day 7.
