Gestão de pessoas e esquipes: estilos de liderança e seu impacto na gestão de pessoas no setor público

Abstract

This article analyzes leadership styles and their impacts on people management in the public sector, based on a literature review of classical and contemporary authors in the fields of public administration and human resource management. The research addresses the fundamentals of leadership in public service and its direct influence on employee performance, motivation, and commitment. The methodology used is qualitative, with an emphasis on the analysis of specialized literature and case studies drawn from news reports and official documents that illustrate the reality of Brazilian public administration.

The study identifies that leadership styles such as transformational, situational, and servant leadership have gained prominence for promoting a more collaborative, ethical, and human development–oriented work environment. Evidence found in the literature and institutional practice shows that leaders who are able to adapt to the needs of their teams and adopt transparent and empathetic communication achieve better results in terms of engagement and productivity.

The study concludes that strengthening leadership competencies in the public sector is essential for building more effective teams aligned with the principles of good governance, as well as for modernizing public management and valuing public servants as strategic agents.
