The 1960s and 1970s witnessed a massive wave of research and books that used contingency or situational approaches as their theme, occupying a new place in contemporary literature. Sociologists played a role in maturing and supporting this trend, as they rejected the idea that a leader's traits were the sole basis for their success in performing their duties. The main factor in the emergence of situational theories was the realization that the trait, human, and behavioral approaches had failed to identify an effective leadership style for all circumstances and situations. However, these new theories did not completely reject the perspectives of the trait and behavioral approaches; instead, they were based on the premise that a leader's true competence lies in their accurate assessment of the work's surrounding conditions.
