Leadership is a key element in an organization. The soul of leadership must be
owned by every leader who has the main task of managing activities in the
organization. This study aims to determine the desired leadership style in the
working environment of Directorate of Infrastructure Investment Development
(DBII), Ministry of Public Works and Housing. This research uses a
quantitative approach using survey method, priority-scale approach,
regression analysis and focus group discussion (FGD). The results showed that
there were at least 3 (three) leadership styles commonly used by leaders namely,
authoritarian, delegative and participatory styles. Based on the survey and
FGD results, participative leadership style is the preferred style of leadership
in the work environment of the Directorate of Infrastructure Investment
Development while the regression results show that the leadership style of
participatory has a positive influence with performance. Participative
leadership style can be implemented in leadership development activities in the
working environment of Directorate of Infrastructure Investment Development
but still needed coordination and agreement from the internal party and related
external institution having capacity and competence in human resource
development.
