The aim of the paper is to examine leadership at the level of CEOs and effectiveness in healthcare setting. Previous studies suggest there is relationship between leadership style, situation and circumstances. The relationship between leadership and effectiveness is probably not straightforward and may be influenced by both environmental and contextual factors yet no irrefutable support on this assumption can be found. In our paper we examine relationships between leadership, environment, organisational context and effectiveness in Polish healthcare organisations. Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire which has been used in a great number of research relating to the public sector on leadership was employed in this research. Implications for practitioners and policy makers are given.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest sprawdzenie przywództwa na poziomie CEO w publicznych jednostkach ochrony zdrowia (z uwagi na wielkość zatrudnienia i wysokość kontraktu zdecydowana się na badanie we wszystkich szpitalach w województwie śląskim. Na 83 szpitale w badaniach wzięło udział 67 szpitali). Wykorzystano zakupiony z możliwością na prawach licencyjnych kwestionariusz MLQ (Mulitifactor Leadership Questionnare), który bada styl przywództwa realizowany w organizacjach. Artykuł dostarcza cennych informacji zarówno dla praktyków jak i teoretyków zainteresowanych poprawą efektywności działania publicznego sektora ochrony zdrowia.
