Abstract: This paper aims to examine the leadership in the Greek public sector during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis period. Specifically, it reveals the dominant leadership style, using the full range leadership model. It also determines the overall degree of extra effort, effectiveness, and satisfaction. Finally, it identifies the relationship between each leadership style and leaders' effectiveness, using correlation and regression analysis. The survey was quantitative and involved civil servants employed in various services. The results show that the dominant leadership style is transactional leadership and that transformational leadership has the strongest positive correlation with effectiveness. Given the virtual absence of research during the COVID-19 crisis period in Greece, this paper adds information to the theoretical field of leadership, which can improve produced services of the public sector.
