Abstract
The objective of this paper is to identify determinants and attributes of leadership in the public safety management system. This aim has been accomplished based on the desk research method and participant observation. As a result it was concluded that leadership in public safety management is determined by external and external forces, situational circumstances, characteristics core to the entities of the system, and relationships occurring between them. It was also ascertained that the principal attributes of leadership in the system examined include complexity, sharing and collaboration.
Introduction
The public safety management system represents a dynamic configuration of an unlimited number of entities with the goal of ensuring secure conditions for all entities operating on the specific administrative territory using resources possessed within the framework of formal rules and informal relationships, typified by non-repeatability and volatility as well as continuous adjustment to current circumstances and needs occurring (SienkiewiczMalyjurek and Kozuch, 2015, p. 40). To carry out activities under such circumstances, being characteristic to the public safety management system requires appropriate leadership. This is critical to adequately orchestrate ventures, coordinate operations and transfer information between specific sub-systems across the system. However, even though leadership is one of the most widely explored issues in the theory of management sciences (Hunt and Dodge, 2000; Peterson and Hunt, 1997), a research gap remains in the field of safety and emergency management (Silvia and McGuire, 2010, p. 267; Hannah et al., 2009). This paper is an attempt to fill this research gap, and its objective is to identify determinants and attributes of leadership in the public safety management system. Moreover, the reference literature underlines the need for holistic all-ranging approach to the issues of leadership because the research conducted in this respect are largely atomistic in their nature, thereby failing to grasp its complexity (Avery, 2009, p. 29; Van Wart, 2003, p. 224). Therefore, analyses presented in this paper rest on complexity theory, which extends the capacities for a holistic approach to leadership (Marion and Uhl-Bien, 2001; Schneider and Somers, 2006). The purpose of the publication has been achieved on the basis of research carried out under the project entitled “Coordination, communication and trust as a factors driving effective inter-organizational collaboration in the system of public safety management”.
