Abstract
Abstract. Effective leadership, which is one of the most important functions of the health care system, is impossible without effective leadership.
Objective. Exploring the self-perception of own management style among senior medical staff and medical students to determine approaches for their optimization in the direction of improving personal and professional efficiency.
Materials and methods. A study was conducted among 76 managers of different levels of management of health care institutions in the Dnipro region (main group) and 74 senior medical students (comparison group). The methodology developed and tested by WHO specialists in the relevant training module on leadership and strategic management was used. A special website https://leader-style.herokuapp.com was created to collect information and obtain results. The results were analyzed using generally accepted statistical approaches using the Jupyter Notebook software (https://jupyter.org/install)
Results. Among the dominant management styles among managers of different levels in descending order were: Problem-solving style, Supportive, Resilient and Innovative. Similar patterns are observed among medical students in the frequency of styles, but with a statistically significantly lower frequency (p <0.05) there are Supportive and Problem-solving styles. Regarding the effectiveness of management functions, no differences were found between the groups between Regulating and Adaptive functions, while others had a greater degree of effectiveness in the organizers of health. Managers most effectively use the next functions: Task Management, Creative and Nurturing, the least effective - Regulating and Adaptive.
Conclusions. The formation of leadership potential among medical students will in the future increase the effectiveness of the management functions of health care organizers. Defining leading management styles and further developing the necessary skills of managers is the leading way to improve their performance.
