Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie możliwości dostosowania stylu zarządzania polskich menedżerów do standardów Unii Europejskiej poprzez udział w „treningu partycypacji decyzyjnej”. Autor niniejszego artykułu odwołał się na wstępie do międzynarodowych badań nad przywództwem prowadzonych w 22 krajach europejskich w latach 1995–2000 oraz do badań nad stylem kierowania polskich i zachodnich menedżerów, prowadzonych w latach 1988/89 i 1993/94. Wyniki tych badań obrazują styl kierowania ludźmi w Polsce, skonfrontowany z opisem stylu zarządzania w krajach o rozwiniętej gospodarce rynkowej i utrwalonym systemie demokratycznym. Wyniki badań wskazują, że wykryty syndrom autokratycznego zarządzania polskich menedżerów można modyfikować poprzez „trening partycypacji decyzyjnej”. W okresie od 1993 roku do 2004 roku autor poddał, wypracowanej przez siebie procedurze „treningu partycypacji decyzyjnej”, imponującą liczbę 1153 polskich menedżerów średniego szczebla. Artykuł zawiera dane empiryczne świadczące o tym, że ów trening prowadzi do przyrostu średniego poziomu partycypacji decyzyjnej oraz zwiększenia wskaźnika zgodności deklarowanych zachowań menedżerskich ze wskazaniami normatywnego modelu partycypacji decyzyjnej.

The main aim of this article is to demonstrate the possibilities of adapting the management styles of Polish managers to European Union styles through participation in "decision participation training". In the introduction the author refers to international studies on leadership carried out in 22 European countries in the years 1995–2000 and to studies of management styles of Polish and Western managers conducted in the years 1988/89 and 1993/94. The results of these studies show the style of leadership in Poland and confront them with a description of management styles in countries with a well-developed market economy and an long-established democratic political system. This has demonstrated that the syndrome of autocratic management visible with Polish managers can be modified through "decision participation training". In the period from 1993 to 2004 the author used his own "decision participation training" procedure on an impressive 1153 medium level managers. The article contains empirical data illustrating that the training leads to a rise in average decision participation levels and increases the factor of compliance between the declared managerial behaviour and the results from the normative decision participation model. Data gathered also shows that "decision participation training" strengthens the decision- maker's influence over decisions made by subordinates. This is reflected in the significant drop in the number of breaches of rules safeguarding decision acceptance. A higher level of sensitivity to decision acceptance from managerial level staff leads to an increase in participation of subordinates in organisational problem solving and decision-making. Results published in this article concerning the effects of decision participation training show that Polish managers demonstrate an evident disposition for learning participational behaviour. A participational management style within an organisation results in better conditions for a fuller use of human capital, which means that it does not go to waste.

The main objective of our research was to compare followers evaluation of Polish middle managers in regard to their traits and behaviors, which are essential for leadership effectiveness, in the years of 2008/2009; 2010/2012; 2012 and during 1996/1997 under the GLOBE research project. As was unexpected, our research results indicate the Polish middle managers under our follow-up study scored significantly lower than their counterparts investigated under the GLOBE study in 1996/1997 on Performance Orientation, Team Orientation, Humane Orientation, Integrity, Visionary and Inspirational Leadership Dimensions, and significantly higher on Autocratic Leadership style. Our findings point to the conclusion that profound changes in political anc socioeconomic systems in Poland, have shown little effects so far on managerial values and subsequent attitudes and behaviors. We postulate that deep changes in peoples' mentality are needed to generate beneficial changes in the societal and organizational values and succeeding attitudes and behaviors.

This study compares Polish managers’ perceptions of their organizational culture and their beliefs concerning attributes necessary for leadership effectiveness, investigated in 1996/1997 and 2008/2009. As was unexpected, our results show that Polish managers of 2008/2009 score significantly higher than managers of 1996/1997 on Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity and slightly lower on Future Orientation and Humane Orientation. Our findings suggest that more individualistic orientation in Polish organizations is still necessary in order to survive and be effective during the current turbulent and highly uncertain economic and business conditions. Relatively higher scores on Power Distance on the part of Polish managers being studied in the years 2008/2009 are also in line with findings concerned with attributes necessary for leadership effectiveness. Mean comparisons on beliefs concerning attributes necessary for leadership effectiveness show that Polish managers of 2008/2009 in comparison with their counterparts studied in 1996/1997 scored higher on Autocratic Orientation, Risk Avoidance, Isolationistic Orientation and Individualistic Orientation. Our findings are also consistent with regard to leadership attributes of Performance Orientation, Team Orientation, Decisiveness, Diplomatic, Humane Orientation, Integrity, Visionary and Charismatic/Inspirational, which are somewhat less strongly associated with leadership effectiveness by Polish middle managers investigated in 2008/2009 in comparison with their counterparts studied in 1996/1997.
