Maritime Leadership: Scientific-Methodological Outlines

Summary/Abstract: Raising the question of the methodology of science as a strategic criterion for scientific research from a profound perspective, focusing on the levels of scientific definiteness, certainty, authenticity, value, meaningfulness, and following the epistemology of neo-Thomistic personalism, which most nobly describes a leader and highlights the importance of personality and subsidiary solidarity relevant to teamwork on a ship, this article explores relatively more prominent leadership theories combined with the historically most prominent directions in psychology, hypothetically formulating their connections from a logical utility perspective, considering common issues in seafaring. The aim of the article is to add some scientific and methodological value to global maritime leadership research. Considering the dynamic nature of the various needs of the activities of the ship’s crew members and the defined life philosophy of the leader’s personality, it would be useful for any leader in the workplace, regardless of his or her value orientation, to apply a comprehensive leadership approach, based on which leaders would regularly learn to balance the fulfilment of work needs and the fulfilment of their personal value orientation, reflecting the changing demands of leadership in the ship’s context, while remaining true to their authentic value identity.
