Public leadership and strategies of Czech municipalities during the COVID-19 pandemic – municipal activism vs municipal passivism
- Share to:
Purpose – This paper discusses the role of public leadership and the strategic response of local governments
to the external shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors examine the typical Czech response with
regard to how the leadership of municipalities in the Czech Republic responded to this extremely negative
external stimulus.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors use qualitative research methods for this investigation.
They have chosen the case study method (see Yin, 2009; Stake, 1995; Klonoski, 2013). The general case is the
Czech Republic. Mini-cases consist of municipalities from the Znojmo region, municipalities of the Central
Bohemian region and the municipal districts in the capital city of Prague. Furthermore, the method of
participant observation was used.
Findings – The authors’ analysis of the problem of local government responses to the pandemic crisis shows
that municipal leaders responded with a variety of (non-)adaptation strategies. It appears that certain
framework factors influenced the various local governments’ behavior.
Originality/value – The article examines the strategic behavior of Czech municipal leaders regarding the
pandemic crisis based on the observation of the reactions of local governments in the Czech Republic to the
pandemic crisis and strives to define their basic strategies.
