Different but Synergistic Effects of Union and Manager Leadership on Member Job Satisfaction.

Existing research has tended to overlook the diverse roles of union leadership in contributing to member attitudes. Drawing on the social information processing theory, this study examines how union leaders' (shop stewards) service-oriented leadership relates to member job satisfaction. To clarify the mechanism underlying this relationship, this study focuses on union instrumentality as a mediator. The research also examines managers' ethical leadership as a conditional factor in the relationship between union leaders' service-oriented leadership and member job satisfaction through union instrumentality. To test our hypothesis, this study analyzed the results of a survey of 603 respondents from two branches of the Korean Metal Workers' Union. The findings of this study indicate that union instrumentality is the link between service-oriented union leadership and member job satisfaction. Additionally, the strength of the mediated relationship between the aforementioned factors through union instrumentality is contingent on managerial ethical leadership. This study contributes to an integrated understanding of the way in which service-oriented union stewards and ethical managers influence member job satisfaction through their leadership.

The evolution of leadership: new perspectives and the role of women in modern management

Ensuring gender equality in leadership positions and empowering women is essential for sustainable development. As part of the evolution of leadership, the role of women leaders in modern management is becoming increasingly important, in connection with which new perspectives are opening up. Not only scientists but also politicians and business people show interest in this scientific direction, and the very phenomenon of women leaders can radically break the stereotypes that are a barrier to the modernization of society. The primary purpose of this study is to explore women's leadership and designate the role of women based on the analysis of the results of secondary and primary data collected using desk and field research methods, such as a literature review and a quantitative survey (N=238). The results led to the conclusion that women leaders, unlike men, are more likely to create an atmosphere of respect, trust, and support in the team and publicly recognize subordinates' contributions to corporate activities. Male managers, in turn, tend to motivate subordinates based on their individual preferences. This work represents a significant contribution to the knowledge related to management and leadership and offers new research points of view. The study results can be applied in practice, providing companies and their leaders with ideas on how to maximize the potential and opportunities of women in management.

The Reasons for Unfinished Nursing Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Integrative Review.

Background: The concept of unfinished nursing care (UNC) describes nursing interventions required by patients and families that nurses postpone or omit. UNC reasons have been documented; however, no studies have summarised the underlying factors triggering the UNC during the pandemic. Therefore, the aim was to synthesise the available studies exploring factors affecting UNC during a pandemic. Methods: We conducted an integrative review following Whittemore and Knafl's framework according to the Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and the Scopus databases were searched for primary studies that collected data from 1 January 2020 to 1 May 2023. Both qualitative and quantitative studies assessing the reasons for UNC were eligible and evaluated in their quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: Four studies were included-three qualitative and one cross-sectional. The reasons for UNC have been documented at the following levels: (a) system (e.g., new healthcare system priorities); (b) unit (e.g., ineffective work processes); (c) nurse management (e.g., inadequate nurse manager's leadership); (d) nurse (e.g., nurses' attitudes, competences, performances); and (e) patient (increased demand for care). Conclusion: The reasons for UNC during the COVID-19 pandemic are different to those documented in the pre-pandemic times and reflect a pre-existing frailty of the National Health Service towards nursing care.

INTEGRATING SUSTAINABILITY INTO HVAC PROJECT MANAGEMENT: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

As environmental concerns continue to escalate, the integration of sustainability principles into project management practices has emerged as a crucial endeavor across various industries. In the realm of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, where energy consumption and environmental impact are significant, the incorporation of sustainable practices presents both challenges and opportunities. This review provides an overview of the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating sustainability into HVAC project management. Challenges in integrating sustainability into HVAC project management stem from various factors, including technological limitations, cost considerations, and organizational barriers. Technologically, the adoption of sustainable HVAC solutions often requires investments in advanced equipment and systems, which may not always be readily available or affordable for all projects. Additionally, the upfront costs of implementing sustainable practices can be perceived as prohibitive, especially in industries where budget constraints are prevalent. Moreover, organizational inertia and resistance to change pose significant challenges, as stakeholders may be hesitant to deviate from traditional HVAC methodologies. Despite these challenges, there exist ample opportunities for integrating sustainability into HVAC project management. Advancements in technology, such as the development of energy-efficient HVAC systems and renewable energy integration, provide opportunities to reduce environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on green building certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), incentivizes the adoption of sustainable HVAC practices by offering recognition and financial benefits to projects that meet stringent sustainability criteria. Moreover, the increasing awareness of environmental issues and regulatory requirements underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into HVAC project management. By aligning with regulatory standards and industry best practices, organizations can mitigate risks associated with non-compliance while enhancing their reputation as environmentally responsible entities. While challenges persist, the integration of sustainability into HVAC project management presents significant opportunities for organizations to mitigate environmental impact, enhance operational efficiency, and foster a culture of innovation. By addressing these challenges proactively and leveraging available opportunities, organizations can position themselves as leaders in sustainable HVAC project management.&#x0D; Keywords: HVAC, Project Management, Challenges, Sustainability, Review.

Application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Principles in Cirebon Publications According to Islamic Economics

Recent developments show that it is not enough for management to ensure that the leadership management process is effective. In order for management to run well, a new tool is needed, namely Good Corporate Governance (GCG).

Investigating the relationship between nurses' workplace behaviour and perceived levels of ethical leadership in managers.

There is increasing research interest in the relationship between ethical leadership and deviant workplace behaviour. Ethical leadership encompasses altruism, courage, ethical orientation, integrity and fairness. Examples of deviant workplace behaviours include theft, fraud, sabotage, assault, abuse, manipulation and bullying. It appears that when leaders are fair and emphasise ethical conduct, followers are less inclined to engage in deviant workplace behaviour. To investigate the relationship between nurses' self-rated levels of deviant workplace behaviour and perceived levels of ethical leadership in managers. For this descriptive correlational study, 355 nurses from one university hospital in Egypt responded to an online questionnaire comprising the Ethical Leadership Scale and the Workplace Deviance Behavior Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to explore results and examine the relationships between study variables. There was a statistically significant negative relationship between respondents' self-rated levels of deviant workplace behaviour and their perceptions of levels of ethical leadership in managers. The results appeared to confirm previous research. Nurses who feel that they are treated fairly by their managers tend to have positive attitudes towards work, colleagues and management. Ethical leadership on the part of managers is a significant determinant of nurses' behaviour in the workplace and should therefore be fostered by healthcare organisations.

Statistically Validating a Theory Represented by a Venn Diagram

To date, there has been no proposed method to statistically validate Venn diagrams. We seek to correct this shortcoming. This paper is a review of a proposed method that offers the possibility of statistically validating Venn diagrams through the lens of the management vs. leadership debate in business. Through this research, we demonstrate a way to statistically validate Venn diagrams by using a modified method of exploratory factor analysis (EFA). First, when performing EFA to validate a Venn, we suggest the scree plot of eigenvalues will indicate how many circles should be in the diagram. Additionally, when normally conducting EFA, cross-loaded items are removed. However, when using EFA to validate a Venn, we propose items that cross load should be retained and placed in the corresponding intersection of the two (or more) circles of the diagram. Applying this method to a sample of 431 (n=431) employees aged 25 years or older, we created a statistically validated Venn diagram that identifies those skills that are uniquely management, uniquely leadership, and the overlap as reported by employees. As a result, this research provides scholars with the opportunity to classify actions as leadership or management based on their placement within the statistically validated Venn diagram of management skills and leadership skills. Importantly, through the application of this new research method, we bring the possibility of statistical confirmation to many of our social science theories that are represented by Venn diagrams. In the Discussion section, we offer a critique of possible limitations of the method and mistakes that researchers can make when applying this method.
