Abstract
Today the performance of police depends on assigning the right leadership style and prepare for all kinds of risks to face the challenges facing the police during their duty. When transformation and development is needed in police departments, transformational leadership fit this purpose. This leadership style establishes the right strategy to achieve effective development in policing and fostering the performance of police officers. However, the absence of effective risk management in policing could potentially flagging the relationship between police and the community and weaken their performance. Moreover, internal resistance, resource limitations, and the complexity of risk management at different policing environments become a major obstacle that hinder the performance of police. While risk management by itself does not provide an adequate assurance for controlling the risks that come with police operations, integrating transformational leadership with risk management into a police performance framework should fill this gap. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of transformational leadership on Dubai police performance, as well as investigating the mediating role of risk management on this relationship. Quantitative methodology and SEM methods applied to answer research questions and validate the proposed framework. Questionnaire was the data collection tool. Simple random technique was deployed to collect data from a sample consists of 381 officers distributed in all police departments of Dubai. Organizational learning theory has been used in this study to explain how police officers learn and practice risk management, and path-goal theory to explain the inspirational role of transformational leader in enhancement the law enforcement and directing the police officers in Dubai towards their goal. The result revealed that transformational leadership has a significant effect on police performance, whereas risk management partially mediates this relationship. It is recommended to ensure that Dubai police department apply transformational leadership with the presence of risk management practices to ensure high level of performance in law enforcement. These findings reveal when police chiefs in Dubai and other cities in the UAE should instill values of pride in their officers, go beyond self-interest for the good of their followers, and express important values of policing mission by displaying a sense of power and self-confidence in their officers and administrative staff.
