Concept of Leadership in Disaster Management and Leadership Orientations of Emergency and Disaster Management Students

Abstract

Objective: One of the main functions of education and training is to train leaders who will take part in various fields of social life and in the administration of the country. It is expected that those who train today's Emergency Aid and Disaster Management students will contribute to the development of this profession, train good leaders to move the profession forward, and support the students to learn and develop their leadership behaviors. This study aims to determine the leadership orientations of Emergency Aid and Disaster Management students, to evaluate the deficiencies, and to reveal the relationships between the concepts of Disaster Management and Leadership.

Methods: The research population consisted of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students of Gumushane University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Emergency Aid and Disaster Management. The research universe includes 176 students in total. The data were obtained using the survey technique. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the SPSS package program.

Results: Considering the average scores they got from the Leadership Orientation Scale in the study, it was determined that the students got the highest score from the Human-Oriented Leadership sub-dimension and the lowest score from the Transformational Leadership style. As expected in this study, a statistically significant difference was found between the students' Leadership Orientation Scale's human-oriented leadership, structure-oriented leadership, Transformational leadership and Charismatic leadership scores and grade levels. When we consider the perception of class levels of Emergency Aid and Disaster Management students, some important differences have been obtained.

Conclusion: It has been determined that those in the upper class have more leadership characteristics than those in the lower class. It is thought that students have leadership characteristics such as being able to influence people, having a purpose, a goal, a vision.
