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…
Crowdfunding in China: Turmoil of Global Leadership
2020
AbstractThis chapter offers a comprehensive review and explanation of crowdfunding in China. It first extensively describes the status of crowdfunding in China by presenting the market facts, insights, and current regulations of the four main crowdfunding models (reward-based, equity-based, loan-based, and donation-based) respectively. Next, through a detailed up-to-date literature review of the key literature of Chinese crowdfunding, three main research streams are summarized and discussed covering success drivers, comparative studies of Chinese versus other contexts of crowdfunding practice, and applications of crowdfunding for creative and sustainability projects. Finally, both practical…
Līderis kā vērtību nesējs
2016
Neskatoties, ka līderības fenomens jau ir bijis pētīts un aprakstīts zinātniskajos darbos, šis darbs atšķiras ar to, ka darba ietvaros tiek izmantots kvalitatīvais petījums ar ekspertiem, kas ir četri Latvijas valsts prezidenti – trīs bijušie un pašreizējais Valsts prezidents. Līdz ar to darbs ir unikāls ar to, ka apvieno vienuviet esošā Latvijas prezidenta un bijušo prezidentu viedokli un uzskatus par to, kas ir līderis, politiskais līderis un ko nozīmē būt valsts līderim. Darbā autore izmanto asociatīvo metodi un ekspertu intervijas. Darbs sastāv no divām daļām – teorētiskās un empīriskās daļas. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek aplūkots līdera, politiskā līdera, līderības jēdziens, līderu tipi, kād…
Līderība Salaspils novada sociālā dienesta organizācijas kultūras kontekstā.
2016
Zinot to, ka organizācijas kultūra ietekmē organizācijas darbības efektivitāti un spēj to uzlabot vai gluži pretēji degradēt, organizācijas vadītāji aizvien biežāk iesaistās organizācijas kultūras jautājumu izpēte un sakārtošanā. Šis process vērtējams profesionāli un pozitīvi ar mērķi aizvien labāk izprast organizācijas vērtības, kas šajā gadījuma ir cilvēkresursi un stimulēt darba efektivitātes pilnveidi. Agneses Belomestnajas maģistra darbs „Līderība Salaspils novada sociālajā dienestā organizācijas kultūras kontekstā” mērķis ir balstoties uz teorētiskās literatūras un iegūto datu analīzi, izpētīt līderības pilnveides iespēja organizācijā „Salaspils novada sociālais dienests”. Pētījuma re…
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…
Managers as Moral Leaders : Moral Identity Processes in the Context of Work
2020
AbstractThis qualitative study explores how business leaders narrate their personal ways of recognizing, reasoning, and resolving moral conflicts and what these stories reveal about their moral identity processes within organizational contexts. Based on interviews with 25 business leaders, 4 moral identity statuses were identified: achievement (commitment to a personally meaningful moral value framework that had been established through a period of self-exploration), moratorium (self-exploration of one’s moral value framework that was ongoing), foreclosure (commitment to a given moral value framework that was present with little or no personal self-exploration), and diffusion (neither clear…
Just a leader? Leadership work challenges and identity contradiction experienced by Finnish physician leaders.
2021
PurposeThis study seeks to improve the understanding of physician leaders' leadership work challenges.Design/methodology/approachThe subjects of the empirical study were physician leaders (n = 23) in the largest central hospital in Finland.FindingsA total of five largely identity-related, partially paradoxical dilemmas appeared regarding why working as “just a leader” is challenging for physician leaders. First, the dilemma of identity ambiguity between being a physician and a leader. Second, the dilemma of balancing the expected commitment to clinical patient work by various stakeholders and that of physician leadership work. Third, the dilemma of being able to compensate for leadership sk…
Leaders’ Gender, Perceived Abusive Supervision and Health
2018
Purpose: We investigated the role of gender in abusive leadership practices, along with the effects of abusive leadership on employee health. We tested two hypotheses regarding the relationship between abusive leadership practices and subordinates’ health outcomes. Design: At two points of measurement, 663 participants in Germany rated their 158 direct team leaders on abusive supervision and stated their own levels of emotional exhaustion and somatic stress. To test our hypotheses, we used a mixed model approach. Findings: The results show no gender differences between the ratings for female and male leaders regarding abusive supervision but do confirm that the leaders’ gender did play a ro…
Distributed Leader Election and Computation of Local Identifiers for Programmable Matter
2019
International audience; The context of this paper is programmable matter, which consists of a set of computational elements, called particles, in an infinite graph. The considered infinite graphs are the square, triangular and king grids. Each particle occupies one vertex, can communicate with the adjacent particles, has the same clockwise direction and knows the local positions of neighborhood particles. Under these assumptions, we describe a new leader election algorithm affecting a variable to the particles, called the k-local identifier, in such a way that particles at close distance have each a different k-local identifier. For all the presented algorithms, the particles only need a O(…
Local Decisions Under Central Watch: A Nordic Quality Assurance System
2013
Quality assurance or accountability, as we use the term, refers to when an actor, in virtue of contractual obligations, has the right to hold another actor responsible to a set of standards, to judge whether the standards have been met and to impose sanctions if the standards are deemed unfulfilled. In this chapter, we compare how (and if) these rights have been distributed and enacted in educational administration in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. By specifying contractual obligations, we wish to separate accountability from other kinds of asymmetric power relations, such as those between parent and child, and focus on acts of delegation and control.
