재난대응상황에서 대한적십자사 활동가의 리더십에 대한 주관성 연구

This study was conducted to explore and categorize the subjectivity of desirable leadership of Korean Red Cross activists in disaster response situations. The Q methodology was used to study 50 Korean Red Cross activists (25 employees and 25 volunteers). The results of the analysis were divided into four types: listening support type, motivating teamwork type, flexible emotional type, and cooperative ethics type. The ‘listening support type’ is a leader who actively supports and listens to the needs of members for smooth work performance and considers their capabilities and limitations. The ‘motivating teamwork type’ is a leader who motivates members for work immersion and demonstrates teamwork to unite members. The ‘flexible emotional type’ is a leader who provides a sense of stability through emotional support and presents flexible solutions by collecting opinions when making decisions. The ‘cooperative ethics type’ is a leader who actively supports through cooperation and is honest and moral. The four types of leadership derived from this study are similar to the results of the American Red Cross disaster response leadership research. Field-based practical leadership has been found to be insufficiently explained by existing specific leadership theories and to show different correlations between leadership components and behaviors.
