Estilos de liderança e suas relações com o engajamento e comprometimentoum estudo na Procuradoria-Geral Federal

Resumo

Objective – This study aims to investigate leadership styles, levels of engagement, and organizational commitment within the public organization called Procuradoria-Geral Federal, in Brazil, and also search for relationships between these variables. Methodology – A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey-type questionnaire to the population under study, comprised of members of Procuradoria-Geral Federal. A total of 260 valid responses were collected through sampling. The questionnaire consisted of four sections: sociodemographic information, a Leadership Styles scale (MLQ-5x), an Engagement scale (UWES), and an Organizational Commitment scale (Allen and Meyer, 1990). Subsequently, data were subjected to descriptive analysis, followed by factor analysis, correlation analysis, and linear regression to investigate potential relationships between the variables. Results – The results suggested that transformational leadership style predominated in the collected sample, followed by transactional leadership style. Factor analysis confirmed the adequacy of the scales used. A positive relationship was observed between transformational leadership style and engagement variables in all three dimensions, as well as affective commitment. Limitations – This study was limited to the scope of the Procuradoria-Geral Federal organization. Additionally, it solely focused on the relationship between leadership styles, engagement, and organizational commitment, acknowledging that other external and internal factors within the workplace can influence these variables. Applicability of the Study – The study contributes to the understanding of theories on leadership, engagement, and organizational commitment, as well as testing the validity of the scales used to measure these variables. Furthermore, empirical analyses of the relationships between the constructs are crucial for theoretical development in the field of organizational behavior, particularly concerning public service careers.
