Question

3 what are the main limitations of behavioral theories of leadership

Answer 1

Behavior theory or behaviorism generally refers to a line of educational and psychological theories tracing back to psychologist B.F. Skinner, who broke learning down to fixed processes that generate measurable results. Skinner’s theories, and the scholarship which built on them, had natural applications in teaching, child development and many social sciences. However, many disciplines have moved way from behavioral theory as their go-to philosophy to describe learning and socialization in and outside of the classroom.
