Leadership principles (4E-1P) as a basis for evaluation of a manager in the context of their behaviour during manufacturing automotive parts

Abstract

The obtained average ratings of the importance of the principles have been ruled by the principle that the better the rating, the less frequently it has been perceived by the interviewees. To answer the question "What are the leaders made of?" the process includes calculating the reverse of obtained average ratings and then determining their breakdown. The analysis of relationships between average ratings of leadership traits has been supported by an analysis of preferences and the variation significance of average ratings. In the preference analysis, Borkowski’s interval scale has been used. The analysis results of the variation significance of average ratings have been presented at the coefficient scale, allowing for visual interpretation of the variation significance based on the placement of the principles at the scale in question.The analysis of relationships between average ratings of the leadership traits has been supported by an analysis of preferences and variation significance of average ratings.

Raising the issue of financial conditions during recruitment is a common phenomenon in the Polish labour market. The breakdown of the employees (the interviewees) is typical for Polish reality.In the research, employees of the operational level, i.e. the part of the crew that is directly involved in shaping products and creating quality, were used to obtain data on the evaluation of the course of production processes.Considering the principle ranked first in the series and evaluating variation for the average rating of another principle, the following information has been collected. The average rating for the principle ranked first in the importance series is not statistically varied, with the average rating of the principle ranked next to it in the relationship above.The product of a given enterprise, according to the laws of the free market, should be better, cheaper, etc., than the product of another enterprise.
