Exploring the Influence of Digital Competence, Work-Life Balance, and Transformational Leadership on Teacher Productivity through Job Satisfaction in Rural Educational Contexts

This study explores the effects of digital competence, work-life balance, and transformational leadership on teacher productivity, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, focusing on high school and vocational school teachers in Balige District, Toba Regency. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale from 186 teachers and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that digital competence significantly enhances both job satisfaction and teacher productivity, with job satisfaction mediating this relationship. Similarly, work-life balance positively influences job satisfaction, which subsequently boosts productivity, though its direct effect on productivity was found insignificant. Conversely, transformational leadership does not have a direct or mediated influence on teacher productivity, suggesting potential contextual or cultural limitations in its application in rural settings. This research highlights the critical importance of fostering digital competence through targeted training and infrastructure development, as well as implementing policies that promote work-life balance to enhance teacher satisfaction and performance. The mediating role of job satisfaction underscores its centrality in translating individual and institutional factors into tangible productivity gains. While transformational leadership showed limited impact, it calls for further investigation into alternative leadership styles or enhanced alignment with rural educational contexts. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers and educational administrators seeking to improve teacher productivity and education quality in resource-constrained environments. Future research should address additional factors such as administrative support and community involvement to provide a more holistic understanding of productivity drivers in rural schools.

Participatory leadership and its relationship to the level of social responsibility among academic leaders in Jordanian universities

The study concludes that enhancing participative leadership practices may positively influence the social responsibility of academic leaders while participative leadership and social responsibility are currently perceived as moderate. This relationship highlights the importance of leadership styles in fostering socially responsible academic environments. The study recommends providing training sessions for academic staff to underscore the importance of participative leadership and social responsibility. Increasing faculty involvement in decision-making processes and expanding access to affordable training opportunities are also suggested to strengthen these practices within Jordanian universities.

The relationship between principals’ pedagogical leadership practices and teachers’ job performance: the role of sociodemographic characteristics

BackgroundConcerns about leadership style and job achievement are global priorities. Most previous investigations have concentrated on one or two of the variables rather than on the sociodemographic characteristics. To properly understand the impact of leadership styles on teacher performance, it is critical to grasp the sociodemographic characteristicsvia a holistic approach to rethinking and improving the existing level.ObjectiveThis study seeks to investigate the relationship between principals’ practice of pedagogical leadership style and teachers’ job performance by considering the effects of sociodemographic characteristics.MethodsA cross-sectional survey research methodology was used, and in Ethiopia’s Gozamin and Dembecha districts, 539 teachers participated in the study.FindingsConsequently, there were strong and moderate correlations between teachers’ job performance and pedagogical leadership. Sex did not significantly impact principals’ pedagogical leadership practices or teachers’ job performance. However, age and length of service significantly influenced principals’ pedagogical leadership practices but not teacher performance. Education level significantly affected teachers’ job performance but not leadership practices.Conclusions and implications- principals’ practice of pedagogical leaders plays a predictive role in teachers’ job performance. Specific sociodemographic factors also have a role in shaping leadership perceptions and performance outcomes. This study added to the body of knowledge in the fields of education and leadership about work performance and leadership style. In the end, the study inspired stakeholders in schools, government decision-makers, and other researchers to continue improving teachers’ jobs’ effectiveness by identifying factors influencing their success. These results can potentially make teachers more accessible to more students and schools and thus contribute to ensuring quality education (SDG 4).

Quantum leadership: new approach in managing shoulder dystocia in simulation-based training.

Shoulder dystocia, a challenging condition for obstetricians, poses significant risks to both maternal and neonatal health, including maternal postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hypoxia, and brachial plexus injury. Despite being unpredictable and unpreventable, effective management can mitigate these risks. Miscommunication and poor leadership are responsible for 72% of medical errors, which further highlights the importance of robust leadership skills in obstetric emergencies. A qualitative study involving 20 participants through structured interviews assessed preferred leadership styles in managing shoulder dystocia. Findings revealed that 55% of participants favored quantum leadership. Other preferences included laissez-faire by one anesthesiologist and democratic by two midwives. However, all participants acknowledged the efficacy of the seven quantum leadership skills in managing shoulder dystocia. Discussion emphasized that traditional leadership styles are less effective compared to quantum leadership in managing the complexities of shoulder dystocia. The quantum Ob-Wheel, consisting of 12 milestones, integrates these seven interdependent skills to guide the management process. Despite the limited sample size of this study, it is worth noting that, given the unpredictable nature of shoulder dystocia, clinicians should be prepared for its occurrence during any birth, with quantum leadership providing a strategic advantage in such scenarios.

How and when paternalistic leadership influences service innovative behaviour while inhibiting counterproductive work behaviour among healthcare professionals: the roles of perceived supervisor support and public service motivation

PurposeHealthcare is a service industry where fulfilling the needs of patients (customers) is challenging. Various factors, including cost, system complexity, staffing behaviours and technological advances, play vital roles. Drawing upon social exchange theory, this study seeks to determine how paternalistic leadership (authoritarianism, benevolence and morality) influences employee service innovative behaviour and counterproductive work behaviour via perceived supervisor support in the healthcare sector. Additionally, the study investigates the role of the public service motivation of individuals as a moderating factor in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachA pilot study and a main study were conducted to test the hypotheses. We collected data from healthcare professionals in Pakistan’s large public, private and semi-government hospitals. We applied bootstrapping with 5,000 replications and structural equation modelling to analyse the data.FindingsResults indicate that authoritarianism was negatively associated with service innovative behaviour, whereas benevolent and moral behaviours were positively associated with service innovative behaviour via perceived supervisor support (mediation). Our findings shed light on the moderating role of public service motivation.Originality/valueThis empirical quantitative study has several theoretical and practical implications. Findings of our study provide evidence that a paternalistic leadership style can influence both positive (service innovative behaviour) and negative (counterproductive working behaviour) working behaviours simultaneously via perceived supervisor support at an individual level in the service (healthcare) industry. This study also highlights the moderating role of public service motivation as an individual motivation factor.
