Resumo(s)
A liderança transformacional tem sido apontada como fator-chave para a
capacidade de ação coletiva em organizações comunitárias, enquanto o empoderamento
comunitário traduz essa capacidade em domínios organizacionais e relacionais.
O presente estudo propõe-se a investigar a relação entre a perceção de liderança
transformacional e de empoderamento comunitário, reportada tanto por líderes como por
liderados, em duas associações de moradores da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa.
Utilizando um método de amostragem por conveniência e por “bola de neve”,
foram aplicadas as escalas Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) e Empowerment
Assessment Rating Scale (EAvEC) a líderes e liderados, recorrendo-se a correlações por
papel/função e a análises de variância como controlo para medir ambas as variáveis.
As principais limitações prenderam-se com o processo de amostragem, o tamanho
da amostra, o delineamento transversal, e a fiabilidade moderada de algumas subdimensões.
Os resultados sustentam parcialmente a hipótese para os liderados, evidenciando
maior proximidade entre liderança transformacional e “Estruturas Organizacionais”,
enquanto, entre líderes, não se observaram associações estatisticamente robustas. As
análises de controlo indicaram diferenças contextuais em “Influência Idealizada” e
variações por papel/função em alguns domínios relacionais.
Em termos práticos, os dados apontam para a importância de investir na partilha
de uma visão clara, rotinas de coordenação e capacitação dos membros, com foco no
reforço das estruturas organizacionais.
Transformational leadership is often identified as a key driver of collective action in community organizations, while community empowerment translates that capacity across organizational and relational domains. This study investigates the relationship between perceived transformational leadership and community empowerment, as reported by both leaders and followers, in two residents’ associations in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. Using convenience and snowball sampling, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Empowerment Assessment Rating Scale (EAvEC) were administered to leaders and followers; role-specific correlations were computed, and analyses of variance were run as controls. The main limitations concern the sampling approach, sample size, cross-sectional design, and moderate reliability in some subdimensions. Findings partly supported the hypothesis for followers, showing a closer link between transformational leadership and “Organizational Structures”, whereas no statistically robust associations were observed among leaders. Control analyses indicated contextual differences in “Idealized Influence” and role-based variation in some relational domains. Practically, the results point to the value of investing in a shared vision, coordination routines, and member capacity-building, with particular emphasis on strengthening organizational structures.
