Transformational leadership is recognized as an effective model for promotinginnovation, engagement, and performance in organizations. The psychological empowerment of employees is essential for developing skills, resilience, and wellbeing in the organizational environment. This study aimed to map key aspects of theprofessional environment, such as motivation, professional training, and perceivedleadership styles, to identify strategies that promote a positive organizational culturefocused on the individual and collective development of Forensic Experts. Theresearch adopted a qualitative approach and was classified as exploratory. Themethodology used was a survey, and data collection was based on the Quality of Lifeat Work Model (QWL). The research was conducted with a sample of one hundredtwenty-two Forensic Experts from the Department of Forensic Laboratory Expertiseat the Leonardo Rodrigues Institute of Criminalistics, part of the Technical-ScientificPolice Superintendent's Office of Goiás. The survey was open to all Forensic Expertsin the department, without specific selection criteria. Only fifteen Forensic Expertsresponded to the survey, providing insights into their satisfaction levels regardingmotivation, professional training, and perceived leadership styles. The participationof only fifteen Criminal Experts in response to the questionnaire constitutes a small fraction of the total population, meaning that the results could not be generalized asrepresentative of the opinion of the entire sample group. Therefore, the results wereanalyzed with caution, especially regarding the possibility of extrapolating them tothe broader audience exposed to the research. The research contributes toemphasizing the importance of emotional management strategies in high-riskenvironments, such as law enforcement, proposing initiatives to develop thepsychological empowerment of employees under transformational leadership, pavingthe way for investigations into the effectiveness of such programs on professional well-being and performance.
