Abstract

This study aims to determine dominant leadership styles of the U.S. volunteer fire department and analyzes relationship between leadership styles of a fire chiefs and organizational outcome. This study reviewed 205 volunteer fire fighters in Oklahoma State which is located in middle and southern part of the U.S. As research results, it turned out that the most common leadership type of volunteer fire chiefs is transformational leadership. The second most common leadership type is transactional leadership. Laissez-faire leadership was the least common leadership type. This study analyzed that transformational leadership and transactional leadership have positive relationship with organizational outcome. In contrast, laissez-faire leadership has negative relationship with organizational outcome. Also, it turned out that the volunteer fire fighters evaluate that transformational and transactional leadership decrease as working years of current volunteer fire chiefs increase.

본 연구의 목적은 미국 의용소방대 조직에서 의용소방대장의 주도적인 리더십 유형을 확인하고 소방대장의 리더십 유형과 조직성과간의 관계를 분석하는데 있다. 본 연구는 미국 중남부에 위치한 오클라호마주 의용소방대원 205명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과, 가장 일반적인 의용소방대장 리더십 유형은 변혁적 리더십인 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째는 거래적 리더십으로 분류되었고 방임형 리더십은 가장 낮은 빈도의 유형으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 변혁적 리더십과 거래적 리더십은 조직성과와 정(正)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 방임형 리더십은 조직성과와 부(負)의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 현재의 의용소방대장과의 근무연수가 증가할수록 자신들의 리더에 대해 변혁적, 거래적 리더십 능력이 감소한다고 평가하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
