Como principal objetivo se asumió identificar el tipo de liderazgo situacional predominante en las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas activas en el mercado paraguayo en los últimos diez años en la ciudad de Asunción. La metodología utilizada responde al enfoque mixto, se ajusta al tipo no experimental, transeccional y explicativa; sobre un marco muestral compuesto por 216 individuos consultados, vinculados al segmento económico elegido. La muestra fue no probabilística y tomada por conveniencia. El instrumento aplicado fue el Cuestionario de Liderazgo Situacional del Profesor Hernán Bachenheimer. Se postularon tres hipótesis de partida, de las cuales dos fueron confirmadas y una refutada. Se concluyó que el estilo de liderazgo situacional predominante en las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas asuncenas corresponde al estilo Participar. Asimismo, la variable de parentesco es significativa para el grupo encuestado, ya sea en calidad de propietario o vínculo familiar con el mismo. Finalmente, se discute sobre el estilo de liderazgo situacional Delegar, en tanto que es poco significativo en relación a los demás estilos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The current research deals with the situational leadership theory and its corresponding styles, namely: 'Directing', 'Guiding', 'Participating' and 'Delegating'. The main objective was to identify the type of situational leadership that is predominant in small and microenterprises based in Asuncion, and which have been active in the Paraguayan market for ten years at least. The methodology employed in this research responds to a mixed approach, adjusted to the non-experimental, cross-sectional and explanatory type. The sample frame includes 216 surveyed individuals, according to a previously determined economic status. The sample was non-probabilistic and conveniently taken. The instrument applied in this research was the Questionnaire of Situational Leadership undertaken by Prof. Hernan Bachenheimer. Three starting hypotheses have been formulated, with one of them being 'rejected' and the other two 'failed to reject'. It was hence concluded that the predominant situational leadership style of small and microenterprises based in Asuncion corresponds to the Participating type. Likewise, the variable named 'Kinship' is significant for the surveyed group, either in terms of ownership or family bonds. Finally, a discussion is also offered about the Delegating situational leadership style, as it ends up being not significant compared to the other styles.]]></p></abstract>
