多年来，人们一直承认“变革型”领导力作为警察组织内部变革催化剂的价值。学者、政策制定者和高级官员都宣称实施这种领导模式可以带来好处，尤其是在促进文化变革方面。然而，本文将提出一个反论点，表明变革型领导模式在警务环境中的应用值得比迄今为止所受到的更强有力的批评。为此，本文探讨了“变革型”领导力的概念及其与警务环境的相关性。此外，本文还指出，有关警察组织内部文化变革成功的说法可能建立在对警察文化及其与警察行为的关系的简单化概念之上。
For a number of years there has been a sustained acknowledgement of the worth of 'transformational' leadership as a catalyst for change within police organizations. Academics, policy makers, and senior officers alike have pronounced the benefits to be enjoyed from the implementation of such leadership models, not least in respect of promoting cultural change. However, this article will present a counter argument to suggest that the application of transformational leadership models to policing contexts is worthy of more robust critique than which, to date, it has been subjected to. In doing so, this article explores the concept of 'transformational' leadership and its relevance to policing contexts. Additionally, the article will suggest that claims of success in effecting cultural change within police organizations are likely to rest on simplistic conceptions of police culture and its relationship to police behaviour.
