The Kutadgu Bilig: some characteristics and its relation to the idea of rule

Mirrors of princes are a specific genre of Islamic literature dedicated to giving advice to rulers, princes, and ministers. There are few mirrors that are composed in verse. The Kutadgu Bilig is modeled on the Persian Shāhnāme of the poet Firdawsi making the Central Asian heritage of wisdom literature at home in Islamic contexts. The text is written in Qarakhanid Turkish; the form is a didactic poem set as a dialogue between the protagonists. In a Weberian sense the program of advice may be analyzed as rational leadership due to the increasing role of shari’a-based rulership. However, there are other elements of legitimacy in this text blurring the clear distictions made by Weber. Hence, we may identify it as a unique, non-European case of legitimation of rulership. The Kutadgu Bilig are to be read as an attempt to secure the continuation of the Central Asian tradition in a context dominated by Iranian influences into Central Asia. The protagoists of this work are the king, the vizier, the wise man, and the ascet. All these actors are representing virtues needed for successful rulership. At the same time the roles of all the persons associated with the court are discussed even very personal ones like choosing a wife and raising children.

해양경찰 간부 양성제도 연구

With the advent of the era of maritime competition over territorial sovereignty and marine resources worldwide, the role of the Coast Guard, a maritime executive agency, is becoming increasingly important. There is a growing demand from the public that wants to provide the highest level of administrative services internally and demands rational leadership in terms of fairness and justice. Coast Guard officers carry out important tasks to manage the organization, deal with pending issues, and design the future with a basic spirit of service and democracy to the people. Therefore, it is an important and urgent matter to be competitive in the organization and provide the best service to the people through the training of competent executive personnel.
 Despite its long history, the Korean Coast Guard maintains the previous system in its officer development system. It has been maintained until today without significant changes in the basic framework of Police Executive Candidate, which is the initial system. As a result, the overall organizational competitiveness has been weakened externally, and it has not been able to keep pace with the rapidly changing marine environment. Internally, it is deriving various problems such as lack of leadership, pure bloodism, and failure to promote its own director.
 In order for the Korean Coast Guard to become an institution that leads the pending maritime issues and provides high-quality services, it is necessary to diagnose the problems of the officer development system and seek alternatives. In consideration of the constraints of the scope of the study, this study will focus on the recruitment system and education and training of beginner officers among various categories related to officer development.
 First, we will look at the recruitment system for beginner officers and the current status of education and training for advanced foreign and domestic similar institutions. Next, we will identify the problems caused by the Korea Coast Guard officer development system. Finally, I would like to present a reasonable alternative to the development plan of Korea Coast Guard officers by focusing on the recruitment of beginner officers.

Leading with a cool head and a warm heart: trait-based leadership resources linked to task performance, perceived stress, and work engagement

Leaders of today need to achieve well in terms of task performance, perceiving low stress, and having high levels of work engagement. One may ask whether trait-based leadership resource factors can be identified and how such resource factors might relate to task performance, perceived stress, and work engagement. Our aim was to test the hypothesis, derived from Hobfoll’s motivational Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, that there are trait-based leadership resource factors, which are differentially correlated to the leaders’ task performance, perceived stress, and work engagement. Leaders (N = 344) aged from 23 to 65 years (M = 49, SD = 8.6; 58% women) completed an online questionnaire including measures of task performance, perceived stress, work engagement, personality traits, trait emotional intelligence, empathy, performance-related self-esteem, compassionate and rational leadership competence, and coping resources for stress. Using exploratory factor analysis, we identified four trait-based leadership resource factors. With Bonferroni adjustment, and controlling for sex, age, number of years in the current managerial position, self-deceptive enhancement, and impression management, only Rational Mastery was significantly positively correlated with task performance. Rational Mastery, Efficient Coping, and Modesty were negatively correlated with perceived stress, and all factors except Modesty, but including the fourth (Good-Heartedness) were positively correlated with work engagement. Organizations striving for sustainable work conditions should support trait-based leadership, which depends not only on a task-oriented resource such as rational mastery, but also on human-oriented resources such as efficient coping, modesty, and good-heartedness, all of them being differentially related to task performance, perceived stress, and work engagement.

An Economic Model of Consensus on Distributed Ledgers

In recent years, the designs of many new blockchain applications have been inspired by the Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) problem. While traditional BFT protocols assume that most system nodes are honest (in that they follow the protocol), we recognize that blockchains are deployed in environments where nodes are subject to strategic incentives. This paper develops an economic framework for analyzing such cases. Specifically, we assume that 1) non-Byzantine nodes are rational, so we explicitly study their incentives when participating in a BFT consensus process; 2) non-Byzantine nodes are ambiguity averse, and specifically, Knightian uncertain about Byzantine actions; and 3) decisions/inferences are all based on local information. The consensus game then resembles one with preplay “cheap talk” communications. We characterize all equilibria, some of which feature rational leaders withholding messages from some nodes in order to achieve consensus. These findings enrich those from traditional BFT algorithms, where an honest leader always sends messages to all nodes. We also study how the progress of communication technology (i.e., potential message losses) affects the equilibrium consensus outcome.

The Effects of CEO’s Compassionate Rationalism Leadership Strategies on Innovation Activities and Business Performance in SMEs

Domestic SMEs play a key role in production and employment, accounting for 98.9% of total enterprises, 74.4% of employment, 50.8% of production, and 49.0% of value added (as of 2016). However, they are faced with difficulties of survival because of continuous decrease in profitability, shortage of funds and manpower, insufficient accumulation of technology, minimum wage increase, and 52-hour workweek. In order for SMEs to continue to develop in such a difficult environment, we must constantly innovate our organization by making full use of our knowledge, information, experience and ability. To do this, CEO (management) leadership is very important to ensure that the best people are focused on the organizational innovation and management performance without moving the company. In this study, we wanted to establish empirically how the newly emerging compassionate rationalism leadership of SMEs business managers affected the innovation activities and management performance of companies. Research has shown that management’s compassionate rationalism leadership has a positive and significant causal relationship with the innovation activities and management performance of the enterprise. Therefore, SMEs managers need to learn the bottom eight strategic factors of compassionate rationalism leadership and use them strategically to make efforts to create positive emotions for the organization so that members can be immersed in innovative activities and management performance creation.

LEADERSHIP EFFECT AND DYNAMIC CAPABILITY ON THE SPEED OF DECISION MAKING IN HOSPITALS

This study analyzes the influence of strategy leadership style and dynamic capability on the speed of decision making with a focus on the object of research in the health industry known as a hospital. The background of the problems faced in this study is that hospitals face turbulent environmental changes and very tight competition that makes hospital management required to be able to make quick and appropriate decisions. Decision making, which is one of the main tasks of the leader, is the process of selecting several alternatives, where expertise is needed to take action, an efficient method that fits the situation. A leader in making decisions requires knowledge and accuracy of information from the problems faced quickly so that he can make accurate decisions, this is very useful to determine the solution of the choices taken. This study uses Hart's (1992) leadership theory which consists of: command, symbolic, rational, transactive, and generative. In addition to leadership factors, it is necessary to examine the influence of strategies where in the context of the dynamic environment a dynamic capability of a company will be used. Leaders must regularly make decisions about how to renew existing operational capabilities into new ones that are more in line with the changing environment, dynamic capabilities are an important challenge for management in their efforts to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The research data was collected from 300 respondents who were midle management in hospitals. Data was analyzed using the help of SPSS 24 devices with regression techniques. The results of the study show that the company's dynamic capability is more give effect in the speed of decision making than leadership. Generative and rational leadership styles effect the speed of decision making. While dynamic capabilities moderate the effect of leadership on the speed of decision making.&nbsp

Tradisi Pesantren : Antara Tradisionalis Dan Modernis (Studi Kasus Implikasi Kepemimpinan Kiai Pesantren Di Sumatera Selatan)

The results of this study show leadership theory proposed by Max Weber and the type of leadership in an educational organization namely Weber which divides leadership patterns based on their dominance theory into three, namely traditional, charismatic, and rational leadership. It turns out that in practice the leadership of the kiai in pesantren has a very important role to advance the world of education in boarding schools. But what is also important is the educational background of the clerics and the environment where the kiai is. The type of kiai leadership in Islamic Boarding School Nurul Islam by kiai Syazali uses a type of traditionalist charismatic leadership and in certain moments uses an autocratic and democratic pattern, in the curriculum it has combined between salafiyah and modern, it can be seen from the inclusion of several government curricula, both from the Education Office and the Ministry Religion. Whereas the type of leadership applied by the cleric Tol'at is a type of modernist rational leadership, and at certain times intructive and coordinative patterns are used by scholars and practicing politics. So that it has implications for the activities of the pesantren both concerning the regeneration of leadership, the learning system, the value system and the network of kiai in society, to the kiai with practical politics. It is increasingly interesting to explore this dissertation further, so that the Malay traditions in South Sumatra appear to be correct.

When Will States Strike First? Battlefield Advantages and Rationalist War

Previous research suggests that first-strike advantages can create commitment problems that lead rational leaders to opt for war, even when both sides are perfectly informed. In this article, we develop a formal model that extends upon this work. We include a more detailed account of war processes in order to determine what factors are most likely to cause first-strike advantages that lead to war. In particular, we decompose first-strike advantages into three underlying dimensions: tactical offensive advantages, mobilization advantages, and the destructiveness of an initial attack. Our model also allows states to counterattack, rather than, as typical in the literature, assume a single-stage conflict. By studying the interaction of these factors, we uncover surprising results about wars produced by first-strike advantages. First, offensive advantages can lead to war in the absence of mobilization advantages. However, they only do so when successful attacks can destroy an extremely large proportion of the enemy's military power. In contrast, mobilization advantages always increase the likelihood of war. Surprisingly, mobilization advantages are particularly likely to lead to war when combined with defensive advantages. We demonstrate that these mechanisms can explain war initiation through an examination of the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli Wars.

The Development of an Intelligent Leadership Model for State Universities

Higher education and intelligent leadership are considered important parts of every country’s education system, which could potentially play a key role in reaching the goals of society. In theories of leadership, new patterns attempt to view leadership through the prism of creative and intelligent phenomenon. This paper aims to design and develop an intelligent leadership model for public universities. A qualitative-quantitative research method was used to design a basic model of intelligent leadership. The opinions of pundits and experts with a purposive sampling method to achieve theoretical saturation was used to design a model in the qualitative phase. During model testing based on confirmatory factor analysis, data indicated that dimensions of intelligent leadership were placed in the four components: rational leadership, emotional leadership, spiritual leadership and collective leadership and classified in sub-categories. Rational leadership was classified into five sub-categories (strategic thinking, common targeting, planning, decision-making and monitoring and feedback); emotional leadership was classified into four sub-categories (self-awareness, self-management, motivation and social awareness); spiritual leadership was classified into seven sub-categories (vision, belief in achieving this goal, altruism, meaningful work, membership, organizational commitment and feedback); and finally, collective leadership was classified into the three sub-categories (communication, development of a communication network and -an exchange of opinions between the leader and team). The results presented in the paper correspond with statistical logic. Finally, the test model and the Delphi technique were applied using the survey approach and the ultimate model was described, including 426 codes, 89 sub-categories and four main categories (rational leadership, emotional leadership, spiritual leadership and collective leadership).

The Foundations and Evolution of Cognitive Behavioral Coaching in Organizations: An Interview with Dominic DiMattia

Cognitive-behavioral interventions applied in organizations have evolved from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), especially rational emotive and cognitive behavioral therapy (RE & CBT) since the ‘70s, following the expansion of the coaching field. Dominic DiMattia brought the very first contributions to these developments, both at the theoretical and empirical level. In this interview, Dominic DiMattia talks about how he worked with Albert Ellis to develop the extensions of RE & CBT in the organizational field, and expands into the theories that have influenced his work. He clarifies essential concepts in the field of cognitive-behavioral coaching (CBC), often misunderstood, like rational organizations and rational leadership. Dominic DiMattia highlights the elements that make RE & CBT an inspiration for coaching in organizations, and the strategies and methods that are best fitted for coaching. Given the mixed picture on credentials needed to practice coaching, Dominic DiMattia underlies the skills that professionals need to prove in order to practice CBC. In the end, we discuss about the future of the field, the scientific approach to coaching and the importance of adopting an evidence-based perspective to practicing coaching.

Total Quality Management Revival and Six Sigma

quality management is a management that is concerned with continuously improving the processes and functions within organization internally and externally simultaneously, in order to reach customer satisfaction. However, in the last decades there was concern that TQM has been less effective resulting from two external factors increasing the demands of good quality services from the customers, and the global market competitive pressure in addition to the internal factors. This paper attempts to expose the problems associated with TQM and how six sigma has helped in the renovation and rising of TQM in rational leadership, factual management, continues improvements, and employee partnership.

Inclusive Innovation: Broader Market Coverage for Innovative Products with Deliberate Supply Chain Leadership

New technological and product innovations, including some life-saving ones, conventionally traverse a sequentially downward path of gradually lowering costs and prices, which limits their initial availability and affordability to the lower-end of the market. In this paper, we focus on the central question of how to achieve broader market coverage for innovative products, which we refer to as inclusive innovation. We unearth a new innovation investment degree of freedom in a multi-tiered supply chain that offers product development firms the ability to expand market coverage. Through an analytical model grounded in industrial practice, we show that deliberately choosing which firm in a multi-tiered supply chain invests in product quality improvement and acts as a leader by initiating contract offers can have a significant impact on the market coverage of the product. Our model deals with products that have non-linear development and production costs and a product lifecycle that is characterized initially by product innovation being the most dominant effect followed by a period of process innovation. We demonstrate that aligning product innovation investment decision making with price-quantity decision-making leads to greater total supply chain profits and market coverage. In addition, we are able to identify a sequence of deliberate leadership transfers by which contract leadership is shifted upstream during the product innovation phase and shifted back to downstream entities during the process innovation phase so as to maintain highest market coverage during the lifecycle of a product. We go beyond a normative prescription by identifying conditions under which tierwise rational leadership transfers occur and discuss how to align individually rational schedule of leadership transfers with an optimal schedule that results in the highest market coverage. These findings have subtle, but important, implications for firms launching innovative products and aspiring to expand market coverage. Specifically, to obtain broader market coverage for its innovations, innovating firms in a supply chain should finely tune the level of innovation investment, identity of the investor, and contract leadership. These results help to explain the evolution of industries such as automotives and personal computers and also offer opportunities for new industries and firms to expand both market coverage and profits.
