Leadership Candidates Research Articles

Do scientific attitude and intelligence affect motivation towards STEM? Structural equation modelling.

The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of scientific attitude and intelligence on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) motivation using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). It is possible to say that there is a reciprocal relationship between attitudes towards science, intelligence and motivation towards STEM. Motivation is closely and positively related to STEM, scientific attitude, intelligence and organizational development. When female students are supported and motivated positively, it is possible for them to be successful in STEM. It is possible to say that female students are the female leadership candidates of the future. Female leader candidates can play a role in future organizational development. Female leader candidates who are supported and motivated by their environment can take their place in organizational development. There is a gap in the research literature on this subject in Türkiye. This study fills an important gap in terms of sampling, research method and data analysis. In the study, personal information form, Attitude Towards Scientific Research Scale, Multiple Intelligences Self-Perception Scale and STEM Value-Expectation Rating Scale were applied to 159 female undergraduate students who are disadvantaged in STEM field and studying at Ege University Ödemiş Faculty of Health Sciences. It is possible to say that most female students have positive attitudes towards scientific research. According to the research results, as the reluctance to help researchers and negative attitudes towards research increase, motivation towards STEM decreases. As positive attitudes towards research and researchers increase, motivation towards STEM increases. In addition, increases in verbal-linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and natural intelligence lead to an increase in positive attitudes towards research and thus STEM motivation. When the value expectations of future female leadership candidates for the STEM field were evaluated, it was found that 81.13% of the students had a medium level of value expectation evaluation level for the STEM field. This situation suggests that female students are not positively motivated for STEM in the family, school and peer environment.

A Machine Learning-Based Forecast Model for Career Planning in Human Resource Management: A Case Study of the Turkish Post Corporation

In sustainable and competitive business management, it is crucial for organizations to consider organizational change and transformational leadership in human resource (HR) management to adapt to the changes in their environment. This capability enables large-scale enterprises to maintain their presence in an increasingly competitive environment through enhanced management capacity. Enterprises that adopt transformational leadership in HR management must equip leadership candidates with competencies such as creating a shared vision, providing appropriate role models, encouraging the adoption of group goals, meeting high performance expectations, and providing individual support and the development of intellectual stimulation. By identifying potential leadership candidates using a decision support model, the necessary competencies can be developed through in-service training and experiential learning during their careers. Innovative and effective approaches to identifying leadership candidates can be developed by analyzing complex big data using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. In this article, a forecast model using machine learning (ML) algorithms for a human resource management career planning approach was developed for the Turkish Post Corporation (PTT) and it was tested to predict potential leadership candidates by analyzing the big data of 5000 employees. The Turkish Post Corporation ML algorithms were applied to 100 randomly selected data points using the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms to predict the types of titles held by the staff employed at PTT. The kNN, GB, RF, and SVM algorithms achieved accuracy rates of 96%, 91%, 73%, and 41%, respectively. The case study results indicate that promotion decisions in large-scale and rooted enterprises can be effectively modeled using big data and ML algorithms, highlighting significant potential for HR management and leadership development practices in the public sector.

Try, Try Again? Are Unsuccessful Leadership Contestants Sore Losers?

ABSTRACT Elections, even intra-party ones, create winners and losers. A number of recent studies have revealed a ‘sore losers’ effect among a number of party actors. The evidence suggests that those who support a losing candidate in an internal party election are significantly less likely to remain active and involved in party politics compared to those who supported the winner. Much less, however, is known about the losing candidates themselves. This paper explores whether losing leadership candidates also exhibit a ‘sore losers’ tendency. Drawing on an original dataset of unsuccessful leadership contestants in three Canadian parties, results reveal that losing leadership candidates do not exit their party en masse but rather they remain generally committed to their party, often seeking re-election during the next general election. The results provide important insight into the behaviour of leadership candidates and provide nuance to the sore losers debate by examining an understudied cohort of party actors: the losing candidates themselves.

Politik Dinasti di Negara Demokrasi

Dynastic politic is the biggest challangein building a valuable democracy in a government order. Which the dynastic politic can be seen from the occurrence of a power held by family and kinship group. This phenomenon can be a material for common thoughts, especially the elites and stakeholders by putting forward alternative solution that refer to the rules. In the persvective of democracy, general election and local election are one of the answer that will be able to give birth to people’s desire to get qualified candidates for leaders. The dynasty’s political strategy was used as a tool to secure power by placing family or relative in certain posts in the formal (government) or informal (projects or business) fields. If this continues, the dynastic politic will develop rapidly and the pros contras will emerge in the midst of implementing a government based on Pancasila democracy. this study aims to determine the influence of political dynasties on the development of Pancasila in Indonesia.

Incumbency and self-uncertainty: when prototypical leaders lose their advantage

ABSTRACT Research on how uncertainty affects the preference for prototypical over non-prototypical leaders has produced mixed results. To understand these discrepancies, two studies explored leader status (prospective versus incumbent) as a potential moderator. Participants reported levels of self-uncertainty (Study 1) or were primed with high versus low self-uncertainty (Study 2) before evaluating a prototypical or non-prototypical leadership candidate who was incumbent or prospective. For incumbent candidates, prototypicality predicted more favorable evaluations under low self-uncertainty, but this relationship was weakened under high self-uncertainty. For prospective candidates, prototypicality predicted more favorable evaluations under high self-uncertainty, but this relationship was weakened under low self-uncertainty.

Black women’s reflections: navigating the leadership journey and making it their own

ABSTRACT Research underscores how Black women's experiences as members of two marginalised groups, Black and female, influence their educational practices and experiences. Through intersectionality, this study explores three Black women principals’ reflections on their journeys to the principalship and leadership styles. Results of this study highlight the women’s paths to educational leadership; two principals entered education as a second career choice. The women entered education without leadership aspirations and only considered leadership after others’ encouragement. The principals modeled their leadership styles and practices after previous supervisors. As a result of their pre-leadership experiences, the principals were democratic leaders who built teacher-leaders and desired to ensure teachers felt supported. Findings suggest that district and school leaders are essential in identifying leadership candidates who may not evidently express leadership interest. Further, districts must attend to the mentoring of aspiring and novice assistant principals and provide opportunities for Black and underrepresented aspiring principals.

Gender stereotypes may not influence the choice of female leaders: Experimental evidence from a crisis framed as social or economic during the COVID‐19 pandemic

AbstractThis research examined whether female (vs. male) leaders are preferred during a pandemic when stereotypically feminine leadership is deemed useful. We hypothesized that citizens prefer female (vs. male) politicians when the crisis is framed as a social (vs. economic) crisis because they believe it requires feminine (vs. masculine) leadership. In a pilot study and three online experiments with US residents (Ntotal = 1675), we manipulated crisis type or a leadership candidate's gender for a task force. While participants indicated that a crisis framed as social (vs. economic) required more feminine leadership, they did not appoint a woman more or rated her as more suitable for the social crisis (vs. economic crisis or a no‐crisis situation). Furthermore, the female (vs. male) candidate was not perceived to possess more feminine leadership traits. Overall, participants did not rely on gender stereotypes when explicitly evaluating politicians. We discuss potential explanations for these unexpected results.

The Gap in the National Leadership Recruitment Law By Post Reform Political Parties in Indonesia

Democratic States generally elect a National Leadership to lead a State through the General Election process. In Indonesia itself, post-reform, to determine the position of replacing the National Leadership using the General Election system as stipulated in the constitution with the principles of direct, general, free, secret, honest, and fair which are held every 5 years. Before being elected, the National Leadership in Indonesia must be carried out by political parties in order to become the main spearhead of the people in a Democratic State. However, in determining candidates for National Leadership, it is necessary to carry out recruitment organized by political parties to adjust the vision and mission of political parties and according to the interests and needs of the people. However, there are legal loopholes in the recruitment process for political parties which will have legal ramifications for Indonesia's democratic system. This study uses a normative legal method, with a statutory approach and literature study. This study concludes that there were various legal loopholes contained in the Political Party Law which then collided with the System for Supporting National Leadership Candidates listed in the Election Law which resulted in a regradation of the nature of democracy in Indonesia. Therefore it is necessary to improve the legal loopholes contained in the Law on Political Parties and the Law on Elections to provide concrete improvements system in the recruitment and formation of National Leadership. Such improvement is necessary in an attempt to avoid instant with the hope of avoiding instant recruitment which in terms of national leadership results in the depravity of the state system and leads to a recruitment system that runs in accordance with democracy.

Politik dan HAM: Analisis Yuridis Regulasi Presidential Treshold Pemilihan Calon Presiden di Indonesia

Democracy in the government system places emphasis on power in the hands of the people; however, with the approval of election law number 7 of 2017 regarding the regulation of threshold requirements for presidential and vice presidential candidates, it is considered detrimental to the people because the additional conditions related to the administrative requirements for presidential and vice presidential candidates are deemed to be contradictory. With the 1945 Constitution Article 6A paragraph (2) and Article 28 D paragraph (3) on human rights, especially the right to participate in politics, the space for democracy is limited because, basically, Indonesian people have the right to vote and choose. In fact, it has been proven that there are only two candidates for president and vice president in the 2014–2019 and 2019–2024 election periods, forcing the public to choose the candidates that have been provided, even though these candidates are not necessarily the candidates that the public expects, thus giving the impression of forcing personal human rights to participate. in the presidential election. In this research, the author uses a normative legal research method in the form of a library search. The results of the research show that the nomination requirements regulated in the 1945 Constitution, Article 6A paragraph (2), do not regulate thresholds, but there are additional requirements in Article 222 that have become controversial, so that the threshold causes the loss of political rights to be able to suggest presidential and vice presidential candidates. Conflicts can destroy democracy. . Indonesia. People and political parties who want to run for the presidential election cross the threshold so that entering a presidential system gives rise to limited democracy. This is because national hopes still require a judicial review to guarantee the upholding of human rights, which hampers the process of emerging more alternative leadership candidates to realize people's welfare. From a benefit perspective, whatever government policy, must take into account the aspirations of its people, so that government policy must be in line with the public interest.

The Leadership/Management Concept Scale: differentiating between actions constituting leadership and management

PurposeThe concepts associated with leadership and management have often been conflated, considered one and the same phenomenon by some and then considered by others to be quite distinctive. The same ambiguity is even truer at the level of application and practicality. Only a handful of studies have attempted empirically to differentiate between the two concepts. The study sought to develop an instrument to discriminate between the two concepts.Design/methodology/approachA prospective study was conducted with two groups of scholars in the areas of leadership and management. They completed the exploratory Leadership/Management Concept Scale (LMCS), the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) and provided demographic information. The results from the Initial group were compared with a validation group. Standard statistical techniques were used to analyze the two groups and investigate associations among the study measures.FindingsThe LMCS effectively differentiated actions associated with leadership from actions associated with management actions. There were four distinct choices consistently selected as most consistent with leadership: influencing, coaching, modeling and ensuring resilience. No significant correlations were found between scores on the LMCS and the LPI, providing evidence that the former was capturing actions other than those associated with leadership alone.Research limitations/implicationsIt is empirically possible to differentiate between the actions typically associated with the concepts of leadership and management. This distinction can be invaluable in various educational programs designed to develop either or both leadership and management abilities, as well as assist in the identification of those with proclivities to one or other of the two concepts. The LMCS shows promise in reliably differentiating between the two concepts and can be useful for scholars aiming to investigate leadership or management without confounding the two.Practical implicationsThere are numerous positions and organizational roles where leadership and management are differentiated, with one being much more needed than the other. The LMCS can differentiate empirically how potential candidates for leadership and/or management positions think about the two, which would allow a would-be employer to screen candidates for given opportunities and, depending on their conceptualization of leadership and management, assign them most appropriately.Originality/valueThis study fills a fundamental gap in both the leadership and management field: first in being able to provide evidence that the two concepts, while similar in some regards, are not the same and can be differentiated from each other and second, in developing an instrument (LMCS) that both practitioners and scholars can use to help their audiences better understand the differences between leadership and management and to develop actions appropriate to situational demands.

Perubahan Pola Perilaku Memilih Kaum Santri dalam Pemilu Daerah Serentak 2020 di Kabupaten Sumenep

Sumenep as one of the regencies on Madura Island cannot be separated from the strong influence of Kiai and Pesantren (Islamic Boarding School) in it. Kiai as religious leaders and teachers not only hold a cultural role but also a political role, especially during the General Election. Candidates for regional leaders are certainly competing to get Kiai and Pesantrens to increase their winning potential. However, what is the actual position of Kiai and Pesantren in the life of an increasingly developing society. This article aims to discuss the shift in the role of Kiai in the Simultaneous Pilkada. By using a qualitative approach. Collecting data using observation, interviews, and observations. The results of the study show that the development of information, the split in support of Kiai and pesantren as well as practical transactions have made Kiai and pesantren unable to fully mobilize and influence people's political preferences in Simultaneous Regional Elections.

Generally, the training is regarded as successfully implemented. To be more specific, 1) context evaluation assesses legal standing, objectives, and target of the training; 2) input evaluation assesses resource of the training; 3) process evaluation assesses trainee recruitment, teaching and learning process, and monitoring-evaluation of the training; and 4) product evaluation assesses cognitive, affective and skill domain of the trainees. The present research implies program segmentation for each level of education due to different problems encountered in reality. Training resource aspect also needs special attention.

Praktik E-Voting Muktamar Muhammadiyah ke-48: Pendalaman Demokrasi dan Refleksi Etika Politik Islam

<p><em>This paper wants to reveal the contestation of power in Islamic mass organizations. The contestation for power that usually runs hot turns out to be cold and shady in the Muhammadiyah organization. This progressive Islamic movement uses the e-voting system in its election process. This process started with the selection of 216 leadership candidates, then narrowed down to 126 prospective candidates, 92 prospective candidates, up to 39 candidates and ended with 13 leadership. The tiered selection process from the tanwir meeting until the 13 leaders were elected was carried out through e-voting. There are several advantages of this e-voting system, it is more practical and more time and energy efficient. The e-voting process is also a process of deepening and maturing democracy in the future. Where there are no prominent factions, there are no SARA issues and there is no money politics. Furthermore, if we reflect according to Islamic political ethics, the correct practice of the Muhammadiyah Conference is. How can the values of al is, al musawah, al amanah, al musulliyah and al hurriyah be applied to all the organizing committee, participants and cheerleaders of the Muktamar Muhammadiyah, to become an added value for this Islamic mass organization. The research method we used to compile this research is a qualitative method with a case study type. The practical recommendations that we provide include that the neatly arranged system in Muhammadiyah Ormas can be implemented by other mass organizations or groups. As for theoretical recommendations, namely the need to make a standard approach related to the ideal concept of e-voting,</em></p>

Sour Grapes? Party Donors and Canadian Leadership Primaries

AbstractPolitical parties around the world are adopting primaries to select leaders and legislative candidates. While a large, though inconclusive, literature has emerged in the American context to explore the consequences of primaries, little attention has been devoted to other national contexts. Exploring patterns of financial donation, this study examines whether individuals who supported a losing leadership candidate are less likely to exhibit subsequent financial commitment to the party compared to those donors whose preferred candidate won the internal election. Drawing upon a novel dataset that includes tens of thousands of donors to recent leadership elections in Canada, we demonstrate that intra-party winners (i.e. those who supported the winning leadership candidate) are more likely to be financially committed to the party in the year after the election than those who supported losers. Results suggest that open and inclusive elections, while participatory in nature, may come at a cost for political parties as losers withdraw from the party in the wake of their loss.

Black Market of Democracy: The Anomaly of Buying Political Party Recommendation Letters of Regional Leader Candidates in Indonesia

This article is arranged based on qualitative research results with a case study approach in one of the major political parties in Indonesia. This research found that recruiting regional leader candidates by political parties is not open and undemocratic. There are fraudulent actions and anomalies in the recruitment of regional leader candidates. The practice of buying and selling recommendation letters from the central party is real and occurs. Even though it is carried out secretly by some party elites, the perpetrators seem to be in a black market, as their existence is carried out tactically and cautiously. The selection of regional leader candidates conducted by political parties is followed by all groups, both from outside the party and cadres of the party itself. In reality, those with adequate political resources, especially from a financial perspective, will get party approval.

Aligning Leaders and Organizations During Role Transitions: Addressing Issues of Competency, Role Identity, and Authentic Prototypicality

This article offers a detailed framework for assessing and addressing three key areas of leader fit (i.e., competencies, role identity, prototypicality) based on an examination of extant theory and research. This paper was based upon an examination of literature about leader development, role identity and identity work, and leader prototypicality. A new Leadership Transition Assessment Framework was created, and its application was illustrated using de-identified examples. Although empirical research is needed to validate, confirm, and extend the use and application of the new framework within organizations, the new framework is anticipated to be particularly useful for current and aspiring organizational leaders for use in their own development as well as for hiring managers and talent professionals in evaluating and developing leadership candidates. While various approaches have been offered to improve selection and advancement decisions, this article emphasizes that a more holistic approach to leader selection and development is needed to create effective outcomes.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY POLITICS AND CORRUPTION: HOW THEY THREATEN NIRMILITARY DEFENSE

The change to a democratic political system in Indonesia, which previously adhered to an authoritarian system, does not mean that the former authoritarian system previously disappeared easily and quickly. candidates for leaders who legalize all means to pave the way to occupy the palace seats. One of them is by using the practice of money politics. Money politics or also known as money politics, as the name suggests, is a political practice that uses encouragement and injections of funds to carry out its political agenda smoothly. Money politics comes in various forms, such as vote buying, vote brokers, and political corruption. Corruption that is rooted in the government will cause systematic losses which will end up causing huge losses to the people, especially the lower middle economic class. With many corruption cases that continue to grow, this will threaten the resilience of our country. The dowry of money politics can be in the form of basic food assistance, infrastructure improvements to the "dawn attack" that gives money directly to the community. With the increasing rate of corruption in this country, corruption is one of the weaknesses of Indonesia's defense.
