THE ANTECEDENTS OF LEADERSHIP STYLE OF THE INDONESIAN NATIONAL POLICE

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effect of learning, training, and mentoring on leadership style and leadership style impact on the predictive character in the Indonesian police context. Due to the ontological and sociological levels, this research is significant to improving police leadership. The problem is very interesting to analyze by conducting quantitative research based on public policy and leadership perspectives. Data were collected through a questionnaire. PLS models were used to analyze the data. It was found that learning, training, and mentoring provide a positive direct effect on the leadership style. Furthermore, the leadership style also provides a positive direct effect on the predictive character of the police. In addition, the leadership style mediates the effect of training and mentoring on predictive character, but it does not mediate the effect of learning on predictive character. This result provides a recommendation for state agencies, public officials, and practitioners to make better regulations related to police leadership in Indonesia.
