Popis: Background: Change management has become a key instrument in every organization and is crucial for their survival since changes have become unavoidable. The manner in which changes are introduced in everyday practice is an important component of change management. Managing change involves thoughtful planning and implementation, as well as the involvement of employees. Success is based on an appropriate managerial approach since management styles have a direct impact on the introduction of change by transforming employee attitudes. The aim of the study was to examine the impact of different leadership styles onthe success of introducing changes. Methods: We used a quantitative methodology. The instrument used was a validated questionnaire with closed questions. Four Slovenian healthcare centers were included in the study. Results: The success of the introduced changes statistically positively correlates with the transformational leadership (p < 0.05), and negatively correlates with the Laissez-faire leadership (p < 0.05). The assessed effectiveness of leadership styles positively correlates with the transformational, transactional, and Laissez-faire leadership (p < 0.05). However, within the assessed effectiveness of leadership styles, and the satisfaction with the introduced changes the strong link was observed in transformational leadership. Conclusions: Over the past decades, the emphasis on change has proven to be a key feature of organizational success. Changes are introduced and based on a proper management style, which has a direct impact on the working environment.
Uvod: Upravljanje promjenama postalo je ključni instrument u svakoj organizaciji i presudan je za njihov opstanak jer su promjene postale neizbježne. Način na koji se promjene uvode u svakodnevnu praksu važna je komponenta upravljanja promjenama. Upravljanje promjenama uključuje promišljeno planiranje i provedbu, kao i uključivanje zaposlenika. Uspjeh se temelji na odgovarajućem pristupu upravljanju, budući da stilovi vodstva izravno utječu na uvođenje promjena transformiranjem stavova zaposlenika. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati utjecaj različitih stilova vodstva na uspjeh uvođenja promjena. Metode: Primijenjena je kvantitativna metodologija. Instrument istraživanja bio je validirani upitnik s pitanjima zatvorenog tipa. Četiri slovenska doma zdravlja bila su uključena u istraživanje. Rezultati: Uspjeh uvedenih promjena statistički pozitivno korelira s transformacijskim stilom vodstva (p < 0,05), a negativno s laissez-faire stilom vodstva (p < 0,05). Procjena učinkovitosti stilova vodstva pozitivno korelira s transformacijskim, transakcijskim i laissez-faire stilom vodstva (p < 0,05). Međutim, jaka veza zabilježena je između transformacijskog stila vodstva i procijenjene učinkovitosti stilova vodstva i zadovoljstva uvedenim promjenama. Zaključak: Tijekom proteklih desetljeća naglasak na promjeni pokazao se kao ključna značajka organizacijskog uspjeha. Promjene se uvode i temelje se na odgovarajućem stilu upravljanja koji ima izravan utjecaj na radno okruženje.
