Leaders who promote deontological and teleological values have the tendency to validate transformational leadership and transactional leadership, correspondingly. Now, the empirical research literature depicts that having a leadership style can help you in enhancing your other skills as well. It should be kept in mind that various meta-analyses verify the influential impacts of transformational leadership regarding significant outcomes pertaining to the nature of the job, involving:
- Job contentment
- Organizational commitment
- Trust
- Income intent
Transformational leadership or any other leadership style stimulates the performance of every police officer. If police officers are content with their job, they will be committed to their organization is an exceptional way. Similarly, if their income is fine, they will trust their organization more.
Organizational content is an important thing because people only feel comfortable working in the departments where they feel that their self-esteem and respect are being ensured. Departments also need to cultivate a great culture in every department as this will boost the morale of the officers and they will outperform in every role.
Police officers must be socially responsible:
The socially responsible behavior of cops is fundamentally based upon the extent to which they consider their actions as effective towards the respective department. Social responsibility and organizational effectiveness are likely to be correlated in such a way that their relationship determines whether or not the pertaining situation holds any ethical problem. Police officers have to follow the orders from the department as well as from other representatives. They also determine the variables such as values and norms and the importance of the involvement of other departments. Thus, prior to taking part in any activity or reaching a legal decision, police officers must understand that ethics and social responsibility tend to be the major determinants of achieving organizational effectiveness. As a measure to identify perceptions toward social responsibility, the Perceived Role of Ethics and Social Responsibility scale can be used. It is a self-report tool that evaluates the opinion of police officers and stakeholder social responsibility. This also helps the officers in evaluating their current skillset. It is also significant to have an all-inclusive approach towards their profession.
