Abstract: Leadership theories have been widely researched and studied in different contexts. This study examines the leader-member exchange (LMX) model and its relationship between scarce resources and territoriality. In congruence to the LMX model, there can be variations in the allocation of resources between the in-groups and the out-groups which can result in formation of territories. The paper further studies that territoriality if viewed as a source of power and influence, shall aggravate the political behaviour resulting in surfacing of political tactics. These tactics are then used by the members of the organisation to bring about a change in the existing leadership style of the organisation. The article thus contributes to the existing LMX literature by developing a theoretical model that incorporates interactions due to LMX relationships, territoriality, and organisational politics. This can be consolidated and tested to provide additional insights into the ramifications of the LMX model.
