Editor's Notes

  1. For decades, leadership theories have been the source of numerous studies. In reality as well as in practice, many have tried to define what allows authentic leaders to stand apart from the mass. Hence, there as many theories on leadership as there are philosophers, researchers and professors that have studied and ultimately published their leadership theory. Theories are commonly categorized by which aspect is believed to define the leader the most. To Defend the theories required to be successful in supervisory practices in the criminal justice field are that the theories of leadership can be grouped into three categories: behavioral theories, contingency theories and trait theories.

To defend the theories required to be successful in supervisory practices in the criminal justice field are that the theories of leadership can be grouped into three categories: behavioral theories, contingency theories and trait theories.   For decades, leadership theories have been the source of numerous studies. In reality as well as in practice, many have tried to define what allows authentic leaders to stand apart from the mass. Hence, there as many theories on leadership as there are philosophers, researchers and professors that have studied and ultimately published their leadership theory. However, in this power point, trait, behavioral and contingency theories have been discussed.  
  2. Behavioral theory makes supervisors to emphasize on organizational behaviors of workers; objectives are attained by carefully structuring a subordinate’s role. Activities are carefully planned and communicated. Deadlines are established, and giving instructions dominates the interpersonal relationship between the sergeant and the officers. Tasks are scheduled, and rules and regulations are adhered to ensure a high standard of performance. In fact, the task proves to be more important than the needs of the officers (More & Miller, 2012). The more behavioral tools a supervisor has, the easier it is to keep workers motivated and on task. The theory is applicable when the supervisors insist on task-oriented behaviors from workers. A supervisor using a task-oriented approach to business management focuses on planning, coordinating and assigning employee tasks. This type of supervisor focuses on employee behavior regarding assignments and what's best for the business. Production is a task-oriented manager's main concern. The emotional health of employees or social aspects of the workplace doesn't factor into the decision-making process in a task-oriented behavioral approach. Therefore, supervisors should capitalize on task-oriented behaviors.
  3. Contingency theory is when a first-line supervisor finds that work environment is tense and that interpersonal relationships are insufficient in some situations. It would seem that task oriented leadership has contributed to this situation. The supervisor should then implement a relationship oriented leadership style. Emphasis can be placed on reducing close supervision activities (allowing line officers more discretion in specific situations), involving subordinates in the decision-making process, or, in general, doing whatever is necessary to create a relaxed and viable working environment (More & Miller, 2012). By applying contingency theory in training workers, a supervisor will be able to identify and to solve problems under different situations. A supervisor recognizes that the successful application of a technique in one situation does not guarantee success in another. The manager would examine each situation in terms of how it is affected by the contextual, organizational, and human dimensions. As a result, the overall ability to correct problems and to become more effective as a manager will increase. Application of a contingency perspective enables supervisors to examine situations and to determine the cause of decreased profits before a new procedure or program is implemented. Perhaps only one program needs to be implemented, or perhaps all three. However, only through an awareness of all possible solutions to the problem is the manager able to arrive at a correct solution. Contingency theory is designed to provide the supervisors with the capabilities to examine numerous possible solutions to a problem.  
  4.  Trait theory is that it distinguishes qualities or characteristics a person possesses when functioning as an effective leader. Analyzing mental, physical and social characteristic to gain more understanding of what is the characteristic or the combination of characteristics that are common among leaders. It has been widely accepted because it is attractive, uncomplicated, and clear-cut. Clearly, the abilities, skills, and personality traits found in successful leaders are not present in poorly functioning leaders (More & Miller, 2012). The trait theory gives constructive information about leadership. It can be applied by people at all levels in all types of organizations. Supervisors can utilize the information from the theory to evaluate their position in the organization and to assess how their position can be made stronger in the organization. They can get an in-depth understanding of their identity and the way they will affect others in the organization. This theory makes the manager aware of their strengths and weaknesses and thus they get an understanding of how they can develop their leadership qualities. The traits approach gives rise to questions: whether leaders are born or made; and whether leadership is an art or science. However, these are not mutually exclusive alternatives. Leadership may be something of an art; it still requires the application of special skills and techniques. Even if there are certain inborn qualities that make one a good leader, these natural talents need encouragement and development. A person is not born with self-confidence. Self-confidence is developed, honesty and integrity are a matter of personal choice, motivation to lead comes from within the individual, and the knowledge of business can be acquired. While cognitive ability has its origin partly in genes, it still needs to be developed. None of these ingredients are acquired overnight.      
  5. The theories are important because through them, supervisor should never show favoritism to a subordinate. One will soon find out that employees have a built-in sense of what is right and wrong and will strongly object when preferential treatment is extended to a few and denied to others. When rewards can be extended (such as assignments), they should be based on merit, not likes or dislikes. It is essential for a supervisor to be perceived as fair and trustworthy.
