Transformational leadership on the athletic field: An international review
2016
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the international literature that used the paradigm of transformational leadership in the context of physical activity (PA) and sport. A bibliometric and content of all international publications (N = 28) analysis is performed by classifying research based on various parameters such as the contexts (high performance sports, educational/recreational sports, varsity sports, school/within-class of physical education), role of the leader studied (coaches, teachers/instructors, peers, parents), population (adolescents and adults), and variables that have been associated with transformational leadership style. This study supported the interest and app…

Live, Laugh and Love to Learn Turning Learning from Traditional to Transformational
2015
In recent years, educators and policy makers have been focusing on student achievement and well-being. After the great Pisa -success and glory, Finnish researchers have risen up discussion about future skills, school activity and motivation – fields where Finnish students haven’t indicated so well. Quickly changing 21st century challenges teachers to see life outside the school and recognize not only the core subjects but also the key skills needed outside there. When transferring from traditional to transformational education, one has to imagine new ways to think about teaching and learning. The research project, introduced in this article, focuses on transformational pedagogic and the que…

Contingent reward leader behaviour: Where does it come from?
2010
As many academics have pointed out, while researchers have learned a great deal about the effects of contingent reward (CR) leader behaviour, relatively little is known about its genesis. CR transactional leadership is traditionally viewed as an independent variable which exerts influence downstream. However, if we are to understand how to influence, improve or modify these downstream effects, we need to shift our focus upstream towards the study of transactional leadership as a dependent variable. In line with this reasoning, we put forward the hypothesis that a contextual variable (organizational learning capability) and a subordinate's characteristic (employability) are antecedents of CR…
Dilemmaer i skandinavisk korlederutdanning
2021
Within higher education, programmes in choral conducting are offered of varying kinds and at different levels, from dedicated programmes to single courses that are embedded in other music programmes. The choral practice field is varied; choral leadership is partly a generic music competence and partly a profession. The variety and social reach of the choral movement suggest that the educational offering in choral conducting should be manifold in type and quantity in order to supply the practice field with qualified conductors. n this chapter we take a renewed look at material from three previous studies: (1) a mapping of Scandinavian choral leader education, based on document analysis and i…
Interaction model: Reflexiv leadership in the face of tensions in the school’s practical day to day handling
2023
Author's accepted manuscript Rektorer opplever utfordringer i det å arbeide som faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt ansvarlig på skolen. Faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt hensyn kan fort komme i konflikt med hverandre og skape spenninger i rektors arbeid. Denne artikkelen undersøker rektorenes opplevelse av å være leder på skolen, og hvordan de kan håndtere disse spenningene. For å komme så nære rektorene som mulig er det benyttet reflektive livsverdensintervjuer. Resultater i denne artikkelen støtter tidligere resultater i nordisk forskning om at administrative oppgaver tar fokus bort fra utviklingsoppgaver og at det er spenninger mellom ulike oppgaver i rektors arbeid. For å illustrer…

Relationships Between Personal Values and Leadership Behaviors in Basketball Coaches.
2018
Background: Based on the refined theory of basic individual values and transformational leadership theory, this study focuses on the associations between coaches' value priorities and their transformational leadership behaviors, exploring the potential mediation versus moderation effect of two alternative variables in this relationship: perceived club pressure or an autonomy supportive environment. Methods: Participants were 266 basketball coaches (85.7% men) from 17 to 66 years old (M = 32.82, SD = 9.2) from 119 different Spanish clubs. On average, they had worked for their current sport clubs for 5.02 years, and they had a mean of 11.10 years of experience. The coaches were all Spanish sp…
