Compatibility of Leadership Styles with Information Security in Organizations

Abstract

This paper investigates the significance of the alignment of leadership styles with information security in organizations. The focus is on the analysis of transactional and transformational leadership and their contribution to the implementation of security policies and practices. Transactional leadership, focused on setting clear goals and rewarding, provides structure and accountability, while transformational leadership, which inspires and encourages change, encourages engagement, adaptability and innovation. Through the integration of these leadership styles, organizations can build a holistic approach that supports a safety culture and effectively responds to dynamic safety challenges. It is critical that leaders recognize the importance of information security and adapt their leadership styles to support the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information, key components of a secure organization in the digital age.
