Course Design for Leadership Learning in an Experiential Program

Background: Leadership development is commonly named as an outcome for experiential learning (EL) programs. Some programs have shown success at inculcating individual leadership traits. However, it is not clear whether there is a relationship between certain kinds of experiential pedagogy and specific leadership concepts or styles, such as industrial and postindustrial leadership and other concepts. Purpose: The researchers identify course-design factors associated with leadership-learning outcomes in an interdisciplinary EL program called Vertically Integrated Projects. Method: From five courses across disciplines, faculty were interviewed and syllabi and student reflections were analyzed for concepts of leadership and course designs. Findings: Students showed the most evidence of leadership learning when at least two of the three factors were present: (i) flexible and cooperative course structures; (ii) conceptual instruction; and (iii) faculty coaching. Leadership practice is distinguished from leadership learning. Implications: Leadership educators recommend conceptual instruction prior to experiential learning; the findings support supplementing that instruction with a flexible, cooperative course design to encourage leadership learning. More research is needed on the relationship between “vertical” experiences, in which advanced students mentor junior students in courses of any size, and leadership development.

Leadership Within the Organization

Engaging leadership and nurse well-being: the role of the work environment and work motivation—a cross-sectional study

BackgroundHealthcare literature suggests that leadership behavior has a profound impact on nurse work-related well-being. Yet, more research is needed to better conceptualize, measure, and analyse the concepts of leadership and well-being, and to understand the psychological mechanisms underlying this association. Combining Self-Determination and Job Demands-Resources theory, this study aims to investigate the association between engaging leadership and burnout and work engagement among nurses by focusing on two explanatory mechanisms: perceived job characteristics (job demands and resources) and intrinsic motivation.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of 1117 direct care nurses (response rate = 25%) from 13 general acute care hospitals in Belgium. Validated instruments were used to measure nurses’ perceptions of engaging leadership, burnout, work engagement, intrinsic motivation and job demands and job resources. Structural equation modeling was performed to test the hypothesised model which assumed a serial mediation of job characteristics and intrinsic motivation in the relationship of engaging leadership with nurse work-related well-being.ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit of the measurement model. The findings offer support for the hypothesized model, indicating that engaging leadership is linked to enhanced well-being, as reflected in increased work engagement, and reduced burnout. The results further showed that this association is mediated by nurses’ perceptions of job resources and intrinsic motivation. Notably, while job demands mediated the relationship between EL and nurses’ well-being, the relationship became unsignificant when including intrinsic motivation as second mediator.ConclusionsEngaging leaders foster a favourable work environment for nursing staff which is not only beneficial for their work motivation but also for their work-related well-being. Engaging leadership and job resources are modifiable aspects of healthcare organisations. Interventions aimed at developing engaging leadership behaviours among nursing leaders and building job resources will help healthcare organisations to create favourable working conditions for their nurses.Trial Registration: The study described herein is funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme from 2020 to 2023 (Grant Agreement 848031). The protocol of Magnet4Europe is registered in the ISRCTN registry (ISRCTN10196901).

Building a Coaching Culture in Irish Schools; Challenges and Opportunities: A Mixed-Methods Study

Coaching is a relatively new leadership style in Irish schools, but its potential is being supported by the Department of Education and Skills since 2015. This study considers the challenges and obstacles to building a coaching culture within Irish schools, recognising that as a leadership style, it is relatively unknown. It considers school cultures and the challenges as well as the opportunities leaders face in building a coaching culture. A mixed methods study consisting of a quantitative survey (n = 48) followed by semi-structured interviews (n = 12) was the chosen method, using statistical analysis (SPSS) and thematic analysis (Nvivo) to analyse the data. The results indicate that leadership coaching facilitates reflective practice for leaders and those they manage, leading to a distribution of practice that facilitates distributed leadership, therein building leadership capacity and enhancing teacher/leader well-being. However, time, workload and creating a culture of coaching in schools are still challenges, as leadership coaching is still a new and unknown leadership concept. The findings suggest that it is vital that the support services endorse its value, that time is allocated to supporting coaching and that staff need both CPD and further education on what coaching entails in order to build a coaching culture in Irish schools.

Cultural Leadership and Cultural Intelligence Level of School Administrators Towards a Culturally Responsive Leadership Action Program

Many of the challenges that cultural leaders need to navigate are common to those faced by leaders in other areas of social and economic life. How to stay solvent in an ongoing financial crisis.

This study determined the cultural leadership behavior and cultural intelligence levels of administrators and their cultural intelligence level as perceived by their teachers and themselves. The results of the study became the basis in developing a culturally responsive leadership action program for administrators.

Development of a Framework of Leadership in Academic Medicine (FLAM).

Leadership within medical academic institutions often adheres to hierarchical structures, relying on factors like seniority and context, with limited focus on leadership development. This study aims to develop a structured framework by examining the traits, aspirations, and pre-requisites of academic leaders within medical school faculties. A cross-sectional study collected input from regular medical faculty and those in leadership roles through an online questionnaire, followed by quantitative and qualitative analyses. Data was curated, analyzed, and triangulated to establish subdomains, domains, and themes for the framework. Among 229 respondents, 121 held formal academic leadership roles, the remaining 108 were regular medical faculty. And 92% of regular faculty cited lack of experience and training as significant barriers to effective leadership. Both groups agreed on the need for intensive leadership training, as 85% of leaders and 66% of regular faculty lacked formal academic leadership training. The concept of affiliative leadership was favored by 45% of leaders. Qualitative analysis and subtheme triangulation led to the development of the 6 Es Framework for Leadership in Academic Medicine (FLAM). This framework encompasses: ethics (accountability and role modeling), education (structured curriculum and training), envision (clear path and talent identification), engagement (structural foundation and attainable goals), empowerment (fostering passion), and encouragement (financial incentives). This research reinforces the necessity of structured leadership development in academic medicine. The unique attributes of the 6Es FLAM have the potential to enhance leadership in this field.

Conceptions of Heroic Leadership in Civil Society

While nations face multiple disruptions to civil society, individuals in late adolescence and early adulthood are overlooked for heroic leadership opportunities in some cultures. An underestimation of individuals’ abilities is sometimes fostered by biological definitions of human development that align competence with physical changes in the brain (Blakemore, 2012). Prolonged exposure to such disregard can encourage individuals to restrict the information they notice, fostering distortion in the intentions that support leadership readiness (Pratkanis, 2007). Studies of individuals’ conceptions of how the world operates can improve leadership readiness if such evidence is used to verify that individuals notice essential information. Using this logic to explore undergraduates’ readiness for heroic leadership, a highly diverse sample of individuals in late adolescence and early adulthood shared their understanding of human rights and civil society. These trait-focused conceptions were then compared with dispositional conceptions of heroism to explore variance in undergraduates’ readiness to embrace heroic opportunities.

Mengungkap Kekuatan Perceived Organizational Support dan Servant Leadership terhadap Employee Performance: Eksplorasi Work Engagement sebagai Mediator Kunci di Sektor Publik

The evolving dynamics of work influenced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic have compelled management to formulate precise strategies for the proficient management of human resources (HRM) to ensure the continued optimal performance of organizations. This paradigm extends its applicability to the public sector, where the position and functions of Civil Servants (ASN) within governmental bodies are of paramount importance in the execution of national development initiatives. Thus, this research endeavor seeks to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and servant leadership concerning employee performance, with work engagement serving as a mediating factor within the context of ASN employed by Financial Management Institutions within the public sector. The study was conducted through the administration of a questionnaire survey to 305 ASN respondents situated at the Central Office of the Financial Management Institution, employing the Covariance Based – Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) technique for data analysis. The research findings manifest that both POS and servant leadership exhibit a significantly positive influence on work engagement. Moreover, work engagement serves as a complete and significant mediator in the relationship between POS and servant leadership, affecting employee performance in a significantly positive manner. This research contributes to managerial implications that can be applied within organizations, leadership circles, and among individuals within the public sector, concerning the interrelated concepts of POS, servant leadership, work engagement, and employee performance.
