ABSTRACT Purpose: The goal of this research is to analyze how team performance is influenced by leadership styles in the public sector, confronting the perspectives of the leaders with the perception of their teams. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The main contribution of this study is to compare the perspectives of leaders and followers in the same context. Furthermore, this research investigates the relationship between team performance and style of leadership in the public sector. This research offers empirical data that can support the development of human resources policies and practices directed at improving leadership and reduce the gap between leaders and followers. Key methodological aspects: The survey method was used to collect data in the Executive Branch of State of Minas Gerais, which was answered by 315 individuals. We applied standardized questionnaires based on well tested instruments available in the literature. Summary of key results: The results indicate that leaders feel that team performance is directly influenced by transformational leadership, supporting the literature. For the followers, the level of team performance is directly influenced by the transactional characteristics of the leaders and not transformational characteristics. The results also suggest that the performance evaluation run by the government might be overvalued, since leaders and non-leader employees think that their own team performance is lower than the officially measured performance. Key considerations/conclusions: The idiosyncratic dynamics of people management of the Executive Branch of Minas Gerais reinforce behaviors that require leaders to use transactional leadership style. However, when managers achieve upper levels, the transformational style seems to be better suited to improve the other managers' performance.

Abstract Purpose: The rise of Revolution 4.0 raises several research questions; in the field of leadership, it could not be different. One of the most prominent issues in this field revolves around the attributes required of leaders in the context of Revolution 4.0. Therefore, this study sought to capture and measure the perception of Brazilian researchers and executives about the main attributes required of leaders in the digital age. Originality/value: The study is relevant as it sheds light on the skills required of leaders in the digital age, identifying important attributes for effective leadership. Design/methodology/approach: At first, an extensive literature mapping was carried out, resulting in a theoretical model of the Digital Leader around four dimensions: i) relational; ii) focus on people; iii) digital; iv) innovation and adaptability. Subsequently, quantitative research was applied to 77 executives and 14 researchers who published the most about leadership in Brazil. Findings: The results reveal a high perception of importance for all attributes identified in the research model. Therefore, for both executives and researchers, the individual able to lead in Revolution 4.0 must have attributes linked to the relational, human, digital, and innovation dimensions. However, when comparing the dimensions, it is verified that the digital dimension appears with a lesser degree of importance. It is curious that in Revolution 4.0, skills more related to technology occupied the least privileged position. This finding raises questions related to the recent discussion around the need for a new leadership style in the context of Revolution 4.0.

O tema liderança, pertencente ao campo de estudos do comportamento organizacional, é proficuamente pesquisado em âmbito internacional há aproximadamente um século. E no Brasil? O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a produção científica brasileira em liderança publicada em 15 periódicos nacionais de psicologia e administração entre 1996 e 2013. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de 35 relatos de pesquisas empíricas que tratam de papéis e perfis de liderança. Os achados demonstram que predominam estudos transversais, exploratórios, com métodos qualitativos, que usam entrevistas para a coleta e análise de conteúdo para o tratamento dos dados. O setor privado da economia e o segmento de serviços são os mais pesquisados. A análise das características dos artigos encontrados permite concluir que a produção científica brasileira neste tema parece defasada quando comparada a outras áreas do campo do comportamento organizacional e às pesquisas feitas no exterior. Os principais problemas e desafios são discutidos e recomendações são propostas para a construção de uma agenda nacional de pesquisas sobre liderança.
