Abstract(s)
A liderança é o processo de influenciar outros, de modo a conseguir que eles façam o que o líder quer que seja feito, ou ainda, a capacidade para influenciar um grupo a actuar no sentido da prossecução dos objectivos do grupo (Teixeira, 1998).
Sendo a liderança um tema muito abordado no contexto organizacional, alguns estudos demonstraram a importância do papel do líder, e o peso que o estilo de liderança e as características pessoais podem ter nos colaboradores, uma vez que este pode influenciar as emoções individuais e moldar o clima do grupo (Sy, Cote e Saavedra, 2005; Erez, Misangyi, Johnson, Lepine & Halverson, 2008; Baeza, Lao, Meneses & Romá, 2009).
O clima organizacional não é mais do que a percepção que os indivíduos têm de uma organização, e é a impressão global acerca daquilo que a organização é.
Neste sentido, com o intuito de se estudar a relação entre a liderança transformacional e o clima, foram aplicados dois questionários – o Comportamento do Líder Transformacional, para avaliar as dimensões da liderança, e a Escala do Clima Psicológico, para avaliar as dimensões do clima - a uma amostra de 288 colaboradores, pertencentes a 9 organizações.
Os resultados obtidos revelaram que estes dois conceitos estão fortemente relacionados entre si, em todas as suas sub-dimensões, apesar de haver constructos que surgem mais fortemente relacionados com a liderança do que outros.
Considerações, implicações e aplicações dos resultados são discutidas ao longo do trabalho.
ABSTRACT: Leadership is the process of influencing others, to make them do what the leader wants to be done, or even the capacity to influence a group to act on the prosecution of the group's goals. (Teixeira, 1998). Being leadership a theme often approached in organizational context, some studies have demonstrated the importance of the leader's role, and the weight that the leader's style and personal characteristics may have on collaborators, since it may influence individual emotions and shape the group's climate (Sy, Cote and Saavedra, 2005; Erez, Misangyi, Johnson, Lepine & Halverson, 2008; Baeza, Lao, Meneses & Romá, 2009). Organizational climate is nothing more than the perception individuals have of the organization itself, and it is the global perception of what the organization is. In this sense, with the goal of studying the relationship between transformational leadership and the climate, two questionnaires have been applied - The Behaviour of the Transformational Leader, to evaluate the dimension of leadership, and The Scale of Psychological Climate, to evaluate the dimension of the climate - to a sample of 288 collaborators of 9 organizations. The results obtained revealed that these two concepts are strongly intertwined between them, in all their sub-dimensions, in spite of existing constructs more related with leadership than others. Considerations, implications and applications of the results are discussed during this work
