Effective leadership. A theoretical construct addressed to the university education teacher of the 21st century

Abstract

The purpose of the essay is to generate theoretical contributions that promote the development of effective leadership competencies in university education, from a constructivist and complex epistemological perspective. Constructivist because it is the consensual construction of the perceptions of the actors involved in leadership processes, the literature of the area and the interpretation that may be generated from the contributions that may emerge when interpreting the processes of the topic addressed, and complex due to its quality of macro-concept phenomenon, multidimensionality that must take into account the organizational and social context where it occurs. The essay subscribes to the interpretive paradigm, in order to achieve a greater approximation to the experiential realities of the actors. The method that will be used is supported by documentary research for which the bibliographic technique will be used, which will allow direct contact with the documents that support the theme of the educational fact, viewed from the theories of leadership. The interpretation of the information allowed the facts to be organized into categories of knowledge based on shared actions in university institutions, as a basis for the systematization and generation of theoretical constructs that guide the development of effective leadership competencies.
