(2014-03-31) Assis, Célia Costa; Maia, Luiz Cláudio Gomes
Introduction: Identify the dominant style of leadership among librarians in Goiânia-GO, especially those who have the role as managers in their information units. The research is based on Kurt Lewin’s theory of leadership styles, which classifies such styles as authoritarian, democratic and laissez-faire. Objective: The research also aimed to describe the professional and personal characteristics of librarians, the identification of the characteristics of the team being led according to librarians’ points-of-view, as well as discuss the main issues and challenges faced by librarians when performing their roles as leaders in their professional environment. Methodology: Data were collected through an online questionnaire, which was sent to all librarians addressed in this study. Interviews were conducted with a sample of librarians. Results: Information obtained through the questionnaire was sent to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), where a list of variables was created. Conclusions: The search results associated with the relevant theory showed that, in relation to decision making with the team led, librarians follow the democratic leadership style, while using other leadership styles according to the way the situations occur on a daily basis.
