Charismatic Leaders in a New Perspective: Reality in Estonia and Italy
2020
The purpose of this explorative study is to put the existing theories on charismatic political leadership in a current post-web media context. It also seeks to better understand why “charismatic politicians” seem to have success in present-day cyber politics. The paper considers political charisma in a Weberian perspective and aims to explain what elements it includes in a current electoral environment characterized by a fast-changing media landscape. The paper places the existing theoretical models in the context of two European societies, by comparing Estonia and Italy as case studies. Estonia, a small ex-Soviet country has emerged in recent years as an advanced e-society with highly “int…
The Decline of Political Party Elite
2019
In this article, the author presents a claim that, in parallel to the end of mass parties, it is possible to observe the progressing decline of elites within political parties. This phenomenon manifests itself on the following three levels: 1) a theoretical level—less and less attention is paid to elites in the theory of political parties as their place is being taken over by other approaches, in particular leadership theory; 2) a terminological level—the notion of elites is being removed from analyses devoted to political parties and supplanted by other terms such us “leaders.” They are sometimes considered as the synonyms of the word “elite”; 3) a factual level—there are strong reasons to…
Hyvä johtajuus ammatillisen toimijuuden tukijana IT-alan organisaatioissa
2018
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkoituksena oli tutkia hyvää johtajuutta ammatillisen toimijuuden näkökulmasta kahdessa ohjelmistokehittämisen organisaatiossa. Tarkoituksena oli kuvata sitä, millaista hyvä johtajuus on ja miten se ilmenee työntekijöiden näkemyksissä. Tutkimuksen aihe koettiin tärkeäksi, koska johtajuutta ja ammatillista toimijuutta ei ole vielä laajalti tutkittu yhdessä ja toisiinsa linkittyneinä ilmiöinä. Lisäksi tässä tutkimuksessa yhdistettiin monia eri johtajuuden teorioita, millä pyrittiin luomaan laajempi ja kokonaisvaltaisempi ymmärrys johtajuudesta sekä uudistamaan ilmiöstä jo tiedettyä. Tämä tutkimus on luonteeltaan kvalitatiivinen tapaustutkimus ja se nojaa sosiaaliseen kon…
Who Punishes? The Status of the Punishers Affects the Perceived Success of, and Indirect Benefits From, “Moralistic” Punishment
2016
“Moralistic” punishment of free riders can provide a beneficial reputation, but the immediate behavior is costly to the punisher. In Study 1, we investigated whether variation in status would be perceived to offset or mitigate the costs of punishment. One hundred and nineteen participants were presented with a vignette describing a punishment scenario. Participants predicted whether punishment would occur, how successful it would be, and indicated their attitude to the punisher. Participants believed only intervention by a high-status (HS) individual would be successful and that low-status (LS) individuals would not intervene at all. HS individuals predicted to punish successfully were seen…

Desarrollo de competencias mediante ABP y evaluación con rúbricas en el trabajo en grupo en Educación Superior
2010
La investigación acerca del desarrollo de competencias con ABP ha crecido mucho en los últimos años, sin embargo, no se han investigado sus consecuencias sobre procesos psicosociales, como la creatividad, liderazgo entre iguales y cohesión de equipo en el trabajo en grupo. En este trabajo además se analizan las diferencias en el nivel competencial de 16 grupos de 4 estudiantes de la asignatura Psicología Social del Deporte del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte como resultado de su participación en una metodología de ABP evaluada con rúbricas. Los instrumentos utilizados en esta experiencia se dividen en dos: la evaluación de competencias y la evaluación de variables psic…
Leadership Scale in football coaches: psychometric and descriptive study
2020
El liderazgo ha sido una de las variables de interés en la psicología aplicada al deporte. El Modelo Multidimensional de Liderazgo de Chelladurai y Saleh (1980) sirvió de base para la creación de la Leadership Sport Scale (LSS). La versión para entrenadores (LSS-3) presenta debate respecto a su estructura factorial y sus valores de fiabilidad. El objetivo de este estudio es ofrecer una solución factorial aceptable para la escala LSS-3 en versión española (Ruiz-Barquín y De la Vega, 2015) en una muestra de 326 entrenadores de fútbol, varones, con edades comprendidas entre los 17 y 59 años y evaluar sus cualidades psicométricas. En segundo lugar, se investigan las posibles diferencias en las …
Strategically Balanced Change: A Key Factor in Modern Management
2006
Organizational change is a much discussed topic in the management literature. It is an important issue because proper change management significantly increases the survival of an organization in today’s hypercompetitive global business environment. Yet, all too often transformational change programs fail due to a variety of reasons. The purpose of this paper is to describe change from different angles (e.g., themes and types of change, importance of change, resistance to change, and change lessons) and to utilize the literature information to identify key components of organizational change in order to develop a “Model of Strategically Balanced Change”. I argue that transformational change …

Responsible leadership in the leader-follower relationship The article advances our knowledge and understanding of responsible leadership in the organizational context.

Additionally, the study explores the ob- ligation to act according to the principles and the way in which it is formed in the relationship. An empirical qualitative study including 22 individuals was conducted. The participants viewed the topic from both the leader’s…
