Introduction to Contingency Theory
• The term Contingency Theory was first published by Lawrence and Lorsch in their (1967) book Organization and Environment.
• The term contingency is a relationship between two phenomenon. If one phenomenon exist, than a conclusion can be drawn about another phenomenon.
• Contingency theory is a behavioral theory based on their views that there is no “one best way” to lead an organization, organize a cooperation or to make a decision. Contingency states that these actions are dependent (contingent) to the internal and external factors. These factors are called contingency factors.

internal resources.III. The design of the organization must fit with the environment.
