Finally, Ethical Leadership has been found to have a favorable impact on workers' performance. Based on the conclusions, future scholars ought to put up a comprehensive definition of ethical leadership that takes into account various factors. Furthermore, future scholars ought to develop a comprehensive measuring instrument for ethical leadership that takes into account various relevant factors. Finally, research on ethical leadership ought to be done in various nations.

Analisis Supervisi Pengajaran

Teaching supervision is a critical aspect of effective school leadership. A school principal who is competent in teaching supervision has the ability to understand individual teacher needs and challenges, and is able to provide the necessary support and guidance. Teaching supervision is not only limited to assessing performance, but also involves efforts to improve teaching skills and student learning outcomes. Good supervision methods involve regular classroom observations, providing constructive feedback, and providing additional training or resources when needed. In addition, a school principal who is effective in teaching supervision must be able to create an environment where teachers feel supported and appreciated, so that teachers are motivated to continue to improve the quality of teaching.

Leadership behaviours for Lean Six Sigma: Jordan as a case study

PurposeThis paper aims to identify leadership behaviours in the manufacturing sector in Jordan that enable successful Lean Six Sigma implementation.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data were collected through 27 interviews to identify the leadership behaviours that facilitate Lean Six Sigma and a focus group to categorise the aspects by grouping them into themes. A grounded theory approach was used in the field study. The processes of constant comparisons helped in identifying the relevant aspects of leadership behaviours and integrating specific aspects into themes; these processes were iteratives. Therefore, this research project relies on the grounded theory methodology to collect and analyse the data. The authors also used a focus group to categorise the aspects by grouping them into themes. In that, the aspects were grouped around core categories.FindingsAfter analysing the data, 36 aspects have emerged. The data analysis processes helped in discovering the aspects of leadership that support the use of Lean Six Sigma in the manufacturing sector in Jordan. The aspects were developed through an iterative process of analysis until the saturation level was reached. Eight themes that influence the successful use of Lean Six Sigma emerged: Training and development; Continuous improvement and development; Communication; Empowering employees; Motivating employees; Managing qualities and operations; Employees engagement and involvement; and Supporting cultureResearch limitations/implicationsThere are some research limitations to this study, which opens avenues for future research. First, the data was collected through qualitative methods, which limits the generalizability of the results. Future studies are needed to generalize the results to the wider business community. Second, the data was collected only from manufacturing organizations and did not consider other sectors. Future researchers are urged to replicate the study in other sectors. Third, this study considered only Jordanian firms; therefore, the authors call upon further research to investigate other national settings that may have a different business culture.Practical implicationsThis study encourages businesses to follow and adopt these behaviours in organisations, which can help in developing desirable behaviours among leaders to reach advanced levels in using Lean Six Sigma. Moreover, practitioners can develop training programmes for developing leaders. Thus, the Lean Six Sigma journey can become smoother by addressing the issues that face practitioners during the different phases of implementing Lean Six Sigma. In that respect, the practical implication of this research is to describe the practices that the leadership of organisations must develop to maintain high levels of Lean Six Sigma deployment.Originality/valueScholarly studies in this field are scarce, especially in developing countries, so identifying the leadership behaviours can help researchers create a theory of leadership behaviours for Lean Six Sigma. Furthermore, practitioners of Lean Six Sigma can take into account these behaviours as crucial to the effective use of Lean Six Sigma. They can encourage leaders to follow and adopt these behaviours in organisations which can help in developing desirable behaviours among leaders to reach advanced levels in using Lean Six Sigma. Thus, the Lean Six Sigma journey can become smoother by addressing the issues that practitioners face during the different phases of implementing Lean Six Sigma.

Securing success: Exploring attachment dynamics and psychological safety for adaptive behaviors in a military context

ABSTRACT Providing safety is a key function for leaders for those under their command in a military context, and research to date has focused on various aspects of leaders’ personalities and leadership styles to investigate the outcomes for their followers. The present research aims to complement this view by adopting a follower-centric approach and exploring the individual and team-level effects of attachment and psychological safety. Drawing on attachment theory, we developed and tested a model that explicates how employees’ attachment projections are mediated by psychological safety to influence adaptive behaviors and team performance positively. We collected multi-source survey data from a Navy department to test our model. Our findings suggest that attachment to leaders can indirectly enhance adaptive behaviors through individual psychological safety. This research underscores the critical role of attachment dynamics and resulting safety perceptions in shaping adaptive behaviors among military personnel, emphasizing their significance as social resources.

This can be achieved through regular financial reports and meetings that provide an overview of the school's financial situation and how funds are allocated

Influence of Leaders' Emotional Labor and Its Perceived Appropriateness on Employees' Emotional Labor.

Emotional labor is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of effective leadership. To address this, the current study adopts the Emotion as Social Information (EASI) model as a theoretical framework to investigate the influence of leaders' emotional labor and perceived appropriateness on employees' emotional labor. A two (leaders' emotional labor strategies: surface acting vs. deep acting) by two (perceived appropriateness: appropriate vs. inappropriate) between-subjects experiment was designed with a sample of 120 front-line service employees from hotels in Shanghai. The results showed that regardless of whether the perception of a leader's surface acting was deemed appropriate or not, employees tended to perform surface acting, while the impact of the perceived appropriateness regarding the leader's deep acting was different, wherein an appropriate display of deep acting by the leader significantly influenced employees to engage in deep acting themselves. The managerial implications and limitations of the findings are also discussed.

The Impact of Transformational and Transactional Leadership on Employee Performance

Transformational leadership is a dynamic approach that motivates individuals to work together in achieving organisational goals. It emerges whenever someone exhibits the ability to guide others' behaviours towards a common objective. This leadership style enables leaders to inspire their subordinates positively. The objective of implementing transformational leadership is to improve employee performance within the banking industry in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study focuses on three banks, namely Bank BRI, BNI, and BSG, which have branches throughout the North Sulawesi region. A total of 176 employees participated as respondents. Following the collection of data, an analytical method known as Partially Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed for the purpose of analysis. The results provide empirical evidence that transformational leadership has a positive influence on employee performance, particularly in the realms of individual consideration and individual inspiration. Nevertheless, dimensions such as intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation do not exhibit a significant correlation with performance-related activities. Moreover, the contingent reward aspect of transactional leadership does not demonstrate a significant impact on employee performance.

Towards effective women’s movements against violence: the role of organizational conditions in promoting leadership capital

ABSTRACT Over recent years, increasing violence in Latin American countries has led women’s movements against violence to face challenging circumstances while advancing their goals. Attention has recently turned to the internal structures of these movements, particularly the aspect of leadership. While prior research recognizes a preference for shared leadership among women’s movements, where responsibilities are commonly distributed among many members, it also points to its potential for conflict, which can impede collaborative action. However, there is still a limited understanding of the organizational conditions of movement leadership, especially within women’s movements facing adverse contexts that require enhancing their capacities for goal attainment. This study follows the concept of leadership capital, which posits that movement leaders use their skills and knowledge to undertake decision-making that is crucial for the movement’s goals. Conceptually, it explores potential relationships between organizational conditions that might foster elements to enhance leadership capital. Employing inductive research through a cross-case study of two Mexican women’s movements against violence, the Olimpia and the Anti-femicide movements, performed between 2017 and 2021, the study focuses on two main organizational conditions: the presence of a common agenda and effective communication. By comparing these movements, which had varying degrees of success in meeting their legislative objectives, the study reveals how differences in these organizational conditions can potentially relate to promoting leadership capital. This study thus advances the social movement literature by proposing a new framework to study movement leadership.

Voice Behaviours within Cooperatives. The Importance of the Relational Aspects of Leadership and Integrative Mechanisms for Loyalty

AbstractThis study explores the dynamics of cooperatives, with a focus on the internal challenges associated with sustaining democratic governance and promoting active member participation. The emphasis is on individual-level participation within the workplace, an often-neglected aspect in cooperative literature. An empirical model examines how member loyalty influences constructive and destructive voice behaviours. Leader–member exchange (LMX) relationship and integrative mechanisms are the proposed mediators in this context. Analysing data from 301 members of 19 worker cooperatives in Italy revealed different mediating effects through LMX, integrative mechanisms and a combined sequence. These findings enrich the cooperative literature by highlighting the importance of loyalty and voice behaviours in regenerating cooperative principles and member participation. The study also underscores the role of interpersonal relationships in affecting operational processes and explaining members’ loyalty and participation dynamics, proposing suggestions for cooperative management upholding democratic governance rooted in trust-based relationships, organic organisational models and mutual values.

The past few years has become synonymous with grand challenge of insecurity in Nigeria, impacting negatively on individuals’ emotion, the national economy, social collectivity, peace and security. Having been impacted by the militant agitation on her oil resource exploration in the Niger Delta region; the emerged and occurrence of attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents, herders’ farmers conflicts, bandit attacks, secessionist crusade and hardship economic protests have made threat her national security. While government have adopted different policies to address the incessant conflicts, much of these are found to be counterproductive. The arrest and re-arrest of secessionists leaders like; Kanu, IPOB leader, and Ighoho who champions demand for Yoruba nation are reference in points. This paper carries out exploratory survey of the occurrence of insecurity as differently experienced in Nigeria from northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. The article argues that, insensitivity to public opinions, high level of public distrust and bad leadership has brought Nigerians to the point of no return. It suggests that for Nigerians to build confidence on their leaders and institutions; Nigerian leaders must take to their responsibilities, seek more for inclusive social policies, and stand out for equity. Since humanizing approach emphasizes the relational and co-constitutive aspects of leadership; solving grand challenge of insecurity in Nigeria, requires a sense of leadership responsibility, coordinated efforts, pragmatic collaborations with the stakeholders while commune with their environment.

The relationship between organizational commitment, commitment to supervisor and servant leadership

The purpose of this study is to empirically establish which effects the facets of servant leadership have on the facets of commitment to supervisor and which effect the facets of commitment to supervisor have on the facets of organizational commitment. To this end, we conducted a survey with 1,756 participants, who roughly represent the German workforce by gender and age, to measure organizational commitment, commitment to supervisor and servant leadership. To test the relationship between the facets of the examined constructs, we analyzed our data using partial least squares path modeling. Our results indicate that commitment to supervisor serves as a relevant, but not the only, antecedent of organizational commitment. Furthermore, our results indicate that affective and normative commitment to supervisor is relatively strongly affected by the servant leadership facets empowerment and stewardship, relatively moderately by forgiveness, authenticity and humility, and relatively weakly by standing back and accountability. Organizations are advised to prioritize the afore-mentioned facets of servant leadership in a corresponding order when selecting and developing managers as servant leaders. The results and findings of our study provide rather comprehensive insights in the complex relationships of organizational commitment, commitment to supervisor and servant leadership, which can serve as a basis for further research and assist the managerial practice.

Taking intra-executive politics into public arenas? Analysis of presidential speeches in six semi-presidential European countries

Although public communication is a key aspect of political leadership, there is no systematic comparative research on the speeches of presidents in European semi-presidential countries. In such regimes, constitutionally weaker presidents are tempted to use the public podium for increasing their influence, potentially igniting intra-executive quarrels that debilitate decision-making. To gauge this general dynamic, this article analyses the official speeches of Czech, Finnish, French, Polish, Portuguese and Romanian presidents between 2000 and 2020. It first explores the ‘politicalness’ of presidents’ public activity through the general tone and the share of references to economy in the speeches. It then examines how societal conditions, party-political dynamics and public opinion impact the tone and content of presidential addresses. Presidents largely adopt a positive or neutral tone even during cohabitation or economic downturn, but occasionally intervene in issues under the government’s jurisdiction. The results highlight the complex and precarious nature of semi-presidentialism.

Personal and Professional Attributes, Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership Effectiveness of Industrial Education Leaders In Region I

This research investigates the dynamics between the attributes (both personal and professional), emotional intelligence, and the leadership effectiveness of leaders in industrial education at higher education institutions in Region I, using a descriptive-correlational approach. By employing standardized tools for data collection and a scoring system that mitigates bias through reverse coding and random distribution of items, the study aims to uncover correlations between various aspects of leadership in industrial education. Specifically, it evaluates the interrelations among leaders’ attributes, emotional intelligence, and perceived leadership effectiveness from the perspectives of both the leaders themselves and their faculty members. The analysis, leveraging statistical methods like frequency counts, percentages, and correlation coefficients, unveils that the majority of industrial education leaders and faculty members possess distinctive demographic and professional profiles. The findings indicate high levels of emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness among leaders but suggest that their personal or professional attributes do not significantly influence these aspects. Furthermore, faculty members’ perceptions of leadership effectiveness are significantly shaped by their academic rank and their institutions’ program accreditation status, whereas the impact of leaders’ emotional intelligence on their leadership effectiveness is not pronounced. Keywords: industrial education, emotional intelligence, leadership effectiveness, descriptive-correlational, Philippines
