Leadership, Leadership styles, ManagersAbstract
Introduction: the analysis of leadership styles is crucial to understand management practice in organizations to improve management effectiveness and team motivation. Objective: to identify the leadership styles present among the managers of the Faculty of Health Technology in the year 2023. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional observational study was carried out in the Faculty of Health Technology. The population consisted of 30 managers. A previously validated survey was applied to the study population, which consisted of 10 items that allowed us to evaluate the frequency with which managers adopt certain leadership behaviors. Results: the results showed that leadership at work is the most common style among FATESA managers, with 87%. This is followed by democratic leadership with 77%, paternalistic leadership with 70% and transactional leadership with 63%. Other styles such as autocratic leadership (43%) and liberal leadership (33%) were also identified, but less frequently. No dictatorial leaders were identified. Conclusions: the predominant leadership styles identified are democratic and paternalistic leadership, followed by transactional leadership and leadership at work. These styles are effective in balancing decision-making and team motivation, adapting to various situations. It is advisable to carry out additional studies to strengthen certain leadership behaviors and ensure success in managing work teams.
