Some Volunteer Fire-Fighting Teams (VFFTs) play an important role in Civilian Volunteer Disaster Prevention by being managed effectively, but the others do not. There can be many cause-analyses about this difference. VFFTs aren't a profit-making organization and are a group which has no compulsion. So it is important that who the leader is, and what type of leadership he has. Furthermore VFFTs have hierarchy like fire-fighting teams and so the leader's command and judgement bring about the actual distinction in the organizational operation. Under this background, the survey has been carried out on the trust of leader and leadership type which may maximize the organization commitment. Consequently, to make efficiency of District Disaster & Volunteer Aid Network increase by augmenting organization commitment. The leader of VFFTs should get the transformational leadership rather than transactional leadership and have paternal or democratic leadership in the decision-making process. Especially we have to create a traditional and unique korean Volunteer fire-fighting organization culture through paternal leadership.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a customized servant leadership by exploring the effects of stewardship and community building factors on the subordinates' trust in leader of lower hierarchy and their job engagement. Regression analysis showed that stewardship is higher than community building in terms of its influence on job engagement, while community building outstrips stewardship in terms of trust in leader. Specifically, two items of stewardship factor - valuing the opinions of the subordinates in decision-making, and sacrificing without giving priority to the leader's self-interest - influenced the subordinates' trust in their leader. Of the items in community building, cooperating rather than competition, abiding by the principles in performing the work, the leader's not seeking recognition or compensation, and giving the subordinates the necessary authority to perform their work put impacts on the subordinates' trust in the leader, as well.
