Political psychologism and leadership styles - Metanalysis study

Session

Psychology

Description

The political organization of society, developments in society, international conflicts have led not only to the development of political science, but also to the consideration of the role of human nature in those social processes. Therefore, leadership styles gained weight by looking at the approaches and solutions they offered to a particular political phenomenon. There are plenty of political behaviors that seem unreasonable and pointless at first glance, yet such unpredictable phenomena occur in the world. We manage to unravel some of these political events as we immerse ourselves in trying to understand the thoughts and feelings of the people who make these decisions and carry out these acts through a psychological prism. The purpose of this study is focused on, through metanalysis, to highlight the political profiling of leaders in Albanian societies by focusing on people's perceptions of the different organizations in terms of how leaders of those organizations are governed and comparing them with theories of political and organizational leadership. The metanalysis study included 12 empirical studies conducted in Kosovo that included leadership styles as the main variable. The number of respondents included in each study in particular belongs to the large sample. A metanalysis of the 12 studies previously conducted on this topic results in a conclusion on the need to incorporate a psychological approach into two-way politics: to examine all those personality traits in a narrower worldview, which in every respect are related to political activity, and such an approach (as if it were the only one) we might call psychological, since the tendency is on the individual; on the other hand, we may tend to put into political action and study those personality traits that determine the type and direction of action, and that is, in our opinion, the true subject of political psychology. The developed metanalysis study also highlighted the dominance of authoritarian leadership style (in 11 of the 12 studies consulted) versus the other three styles.

Political psychologism and leadership styles - Metanalysis study

Pristina, Kosovo

The political organization of society, developments in society, international conflicts have led not only to the development of political science, but also to the consideration of the role of human nature in those social processes. Therefore, leadership styles gained weight by looking at the approaches and solutions they offered to a particular political phenomenon. There are plenty of political behaviors that seem unreasonable and pointless at first glance, yet such unpredictable phenomena occur in the world. We manage to unravel some of these political events as we immerse ourselves in trying to understand the thoughts and feelings of the people who make these decisions and carry out these acts through a psychological prism. The purpose of this study is focused on, through metanalysis, to highlight the political profiling of leaders in Albanian societies by focusing on people's perceptions of the different organizations in terms of how leaders of those organizations are governed and comparing them with theories of political and organizational leadership. The metanalysis study included 12 empirical studies conducted in Kosovo that included leadership styles as the main variable. The number of respondents included in each study in particular belongs to the large sample. A metanalysis of the 12 studies previously conducted on this topic results in a conclusion on the need to incorporate a psychological approach into two-way politics: to examine all those personality traits in a narrower worldview, which in every respect are related to political activity, and such an approach (as if it were the only one) we might call psychological, since the tendency is on the individual; on the other hand, we may tend to put into political action and study those personality traits that determine the type and direction of action, and that is, in our opinion, the true subject of political psychology.
