Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the influence of situational leadership on organizational cultural adaptation within the Penitentiary Security and Surveillance Corps of the SNAI (National Service for Comprehensive Care of Adults Deprived of Liberty and Adolescent Offenders) in 2025. The study, with a sample of 337 individuals, was descriptive in nature and used instruments for self-assessment of leadership and evaluation of organizational culture. It identified strengths in strategic vision and internal connection, but weaknesses in mission clarity, ethical values, and structured training. The study reveals a predominance of persuasive leadership, with less prevalence of participative and delegative styles. Organizational culture values are not consistently applied. The analysis, based on the Denison model, identifies strengths in strategic vision and internal connection, but weaknesses in mission clarity, ethical values, and training. Leaders are perceived as directive and persuasive, but less participative or delegative. The study proposes developing adaptable leaders, strengthening institutional identity through clear communication, and promoting an inclusive and resilient culture. It recommends implementing training programs in situational leadership and conducting periodic evaluations.
