Abstract

"The research analyses the leadership styles prac ticed in the Romanian public administration, the gender differences regarding the practiced leader ship and in terms of exhibiting behaviors that could lead to the development of civil servants’ resilience, trying to investigate the relation between leadership, gender, and resilience. The paper contributes to the scientific literature in the field by analyzing three concepts that are not usually explored together and especially in the public administration. The research methodology consists of a sociological survey con ducted in the Romanian public administration where 766 civil servants agreed to participate. The research revealed that the studied leaders present a mix of characteristics where transforma tional and transactional behaviors are predominant. Regarding gender differences, both men and wom en are considered to lead in a similar manner, but a higher preference for male leaders was observed. Men’s leadership behaviors are better appreciated, indicating the presence of gender stereotypes and a certain level of prejudice against women. The studied leaders possess the necessary character istics for developing civil servants’ resilience, being perceived as exhibiting supportive, encouraging, and motivating attitudes when their subordinates faced difficult moments in their careers. Also, the exis tence of a direct relation between transformational leadership and resilience was observed."

领导能力和性别对罗马尼亚国家公共行政部门公务员适应力的影响

本研究分析了罗马尼亚公共行政实践中的领导风格、实践中的领导领导力的性别差异以及可能导致公务员心理弹性发展的表现行为，试图探讨领导、性别和心理弹性之间的关系。本文通过分析通常不被一起探讨的三个概念，特别是在公共行政领域，为该领域的科学文献做出了贡献。研究方法包括在罗马尼亚公共行政部门进行的社会学调查，766名公务员同意参加调查。研究表明，被研究的领导者表现出多种特征，其中变革行为和交易行为占主导地位。关于性别差异，男性和女性都被认为以类似的方式领导，但观察到男性领导者的偏好更高。男性的领导行为更受赞赏，这表明存在性别刻板印象和对女性的一定程度的偏见。被研究的领导者具有发展公务员弹性的必要特征，当他们的下属在职业生涯中面临困难时，他们被认为表现出支持、鼓励和激励的态度。此外，我们还观察到变革型领导与韧性之间存在直接关系。

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
