Análise do estilo de liderança da equipe diretiva de uma escola pública

Abstract

The present study aims to analyse the leadership style of the management team of a public school of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. As a research strategy was adopted action-research, a questionnaire was adapted from Lück’s studies as an instrument to data collection, whose respondents were teachers and school staff. In this sense, it was tried to investigate the ways in which the management team, formed by the Director, Vice-Directors, Supervisors, Advisors and Financial Agent, needs to improve in order to exercise leadership in the school more effectively. It was found, through analysis of answers to the questions proposed, that the actions of the management team may be perceived as a portrait of democratic management, emphasizing the importance placed on interpersonal relationships fostered in the environment of the school community.
