Leadership Style of the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) - Aurora Chapter Members
Abstract
Leadership is a cornerstone of effective management, profoundly shaping the well-being of organizations and societies (Weihrich, et al., 2008). Its pivotal role in organizational success and national development has spurred extensive scholarly inquiry into its multifaceted nature and effectiveness. Among the myriad theories expounding on leadership, two emerge as paramount, Transformational and Transactional leadership theories. Transformational leadership, characterized by its ability to inspire and motivate followers to achieve exceptional outcomes (Robbins and Coulter, 2007), stands in contrast to Transactional leadership, also known as managerial leadership. While the former focuses on stimulating innovation and individual growth, the latter centers on supervision, organization, and group performance, employing rewards and punishments to secure follower compliance. The relevance of leadership extends beyond corporate boardrooms to diverse professions, including civil engineering, renowned for its breadth and versatility. Civil engineers, entrusted with infrastructure design, construction, and maintenance, exemplify creative problem-solving as they navigate complex projects while harmonizing with the natural environment. Their adeptness in applying managerial skills underscores their pivotal role in project success. This study delves into the leadership dynamics within a specific Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) chapter – the Aurora Chapter. Researchers endeavor to delineate the prevailing leadership styles among its members, distinguishing between transformational and transactional orientations. Through this exploration, insights emerge into the leadership fabric shaping the trajectory of this esteemed civil engineering organization, offering valuable implications for leadership development and organizational effectiveness in the field.
