Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of charismatic leadership in management positions inside health organizations from the South of Santa Catarina. The theoretical support was based on Conger, et al (1997), which developed a model of leadership composed by five dimensions, i) strategic vision and articulation (SVA); ii) sensitivity to the enviroment (SE); iii) sensitivity to the members (SMN); iv) personal risk (PR); v) unconvencional behavior (VB). The study was characterized as a field research, descriptive and the data analysis was mostly quantitative. The research was made in two health organizations (hospital (1) and clinic (2)) based in the South of Santa Catarina (Brazil). The hospital has 262 employees but only 220 of them agreed to respond, which corresponds to 84% participants. The clinic has 43 employees and 38 of them responded the research, which corresponds to 88% participants. The results indicated that there is no significant difference in charismatic leadership scores. Therefore, it was possible to verify that the leaders generally present averages superior to 5 points, in a scale of 6 (minimum 1 and maximum 7). This result indicates that in both organizations the leaders presented tendency to charismatic leadership.
