Abstract

The main goal of this research is to analyse the leadership model or style that can be more effective in the context of teleworking in public administration. Thus, the research question is which leadership model or style is the most appropriate for public administration in a teleworking program. The methodology used was qualitative based on a literature review and the results show that transformational, servant, situational and democratic leadership with active gender representation, is the most effective way to implement teleworking programs in Public Administration.
