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.

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”.

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…

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…
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.
Beyond the post-war Schumpeterian consensus: Governance, legitimacy and post-democracy
2010
Two distinct visions of democratic politics, both of which are in sharp contrast to Schumpeter's competitive leadership model, are to be found at the heart of governance theory. The first advocates anti-democratic solutions, aiming to depoliticize public policy, while the second supports ultra-democratic reforms promoting the involvement of citizens in policy-making. The article pursues three main aims. First, it proposes a reading of the weaknesses attributed to Schumpeter's competitive leadership model. Second, it clarifies the nature of the innovations advocated by the anti-democratic camp in its attempt to build a regulatory state, and by the ultra-democratic camp in its struggle to eng…
