Abstract

The research, titled "Leadership in the Institutional Commitment of the Administrative Department of the Decentralized Autonomous Municipal Government of San Miguel, Bolívar Province, 2025," has the main objective of investigating the characteristics of leadership in institutional commitment. The research project was developed using a descriptive approach with a mixed approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods to gain a broader understanding of the phenomenon. Data collection techniques included Likert-scale surveys administered to administrative staff and structured interviews with managers in the area, using a questionnaire and an interview guide as instruments, respectively. The study population consisted of 105 employees belonging to the administrative department of the Decentralized Autonomous Municipal Government of San Miguel de Bolívar. From this population, a sample of 83 people was determined, calculated using the formula for finite populations. Of these, 80 administrative employees participated in surveys and 3 managers were interviewed, allowing for a comparison of perceptions of leadership from different hierarchical levels. The results show that leadership directly influences institutional commitment, highlighting that democratic and transformational styles strengthen staff communication, participation, and motivation, while autocratic styles limit initiative and identification with the institution.
