Innovative Leadership-a Missing Puzzle in the Economic Administration of the Judiciary in the Czech Republic

This article dissertation aims to define the role of innovative leadership in the context of other leadership roles in the court’s administration of the Czech Republic and to define its influence on the perception and attitudes of followers. Specifically, these are the roles of accountability, compliance with rules and regulations, political loyalty and network governance. The attitudes of followers are represented by the dimensions of perceived leadership effectiveness, organizational commitment and work engagement. The theoretical model is created verified in the practical part on this basis. Hypotheses are tested using structural modelling. Factor analysis evaluates the data sample; the results are further specified using contextual interviews. The results of data analysis have not supported the hypothesis of a strong influence of the role of accountability on the attitudes of followers in the judicial administration. Unlike other examined leadership roles, the results of data analysis indicate a significant influence of the innovative leadership role on followers’ attitudes and define its function as an essential driver of procedural and organizational changes in the economic section of the Czech courts.
