The survey asks subordinates to indicate how often their leader consults with them when facing problems, considers their suggestions before making decisions, asks for their suggestions on assignments, consults with them before taking action, and asks for their input on assignments. Response options range from never to always. The survey is based on House's path-goal theory of leadership.
