Dirigenti scolastici & leadership distribuita. Un’indagine nel territorio siciliano
2022
La scuola è un’istituzione, costruita socialmente su fondamenta normative, orientamenti valoriali, credenze, sistemi di significato, consuetudini, e i cui protagonisti sono, tra gli altri, insegnanti e dirigenti. Parlare di leadership vuol dire identificare quali regimi di verità e conoscenza vengono proposti e quali dispositivi istituzionali vengono messi in gioco per la creazione delle politiche educative1. Una lunga tradizione di studi nel campo della school effectiveness ha portato a definire la leadership esercitata dai dirigenti scolastici unica e differente dalle altre tipologie2 , ma sono ancora ampiamente dibattute le questioni in merito a quali valori, qualità, pratiche contribuis…

2022
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, ar kuru no līderības stiliem korelē narcisms un tā dimensijas. Pētījumā piedalījās 51 organizāciju vadītājs Latvijā, no kuriem 19 bija vīrieši un 32 sievietes. Respondentu vecuma diapazons – no 21 līdz 70 gadiem (M = 41,67, SD = 13,55).

Eight semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with principals from schools in and around the municipality of Jyväskylä. Purposive sampling was used as all participants had taken the advanced educational leadership training at the University of Jyväskylä in addition to other trainin…
Leadership and Ethical Decision Making among Mauritian Managers
2017
It is proposed that transformational leadership is likely to be associated with higher ethical decision making, while transactional leadership should be related to lower ethical decision making. However, little empirical research provides support for these claims. Using a structured interview schedule, data from 247 managers was collected from three established higher education institutions in Mauritius. Findings indicate that surprisingly, transformational leadership had a negative impact on ethical judgment and intention of subordinates in relation to ethical issues including bribery, nepotism, padding up of expenses’ account and political favouritism, suggesting the possibility of pseudo…

VOX Spain: The Organisational Challenges of a New Radical Right Party
2021
This article examines the organisation of VOX, a new radical right party in Spain. It shows that the party has taken early and uneven steps to build a mass organisation and initially opted for open membership recruitment with participatory organisational elements. Also, the party’s rapid growth and quick entrance into political institutions at different state levels led the party leadership to establish more centralised control and limit members’ prerogatives, though recruitment continued. Centralisation in part responds to organisational needs given the party’s quickly acquired political relevance, but also to the desire of the central party leadership to forestall the articulation of terr…
