Leadership and Management

The problem and the aim of the study. The problem of teacher turnover has always been one of the important challenges faced by the private education system. The universality of the research problem and the importance of the research object make it necessary for private universities to find appropriate ways to solve the problem. The author suggests that the method of transformational leadership should be used in private colleges and universities to form a scientific management model, so as to improve teachers' job satisfaction and reduce their turnover intention, and finally realize the healthy and sustainable development of private education. Materials and methods. Quantitative research is a universal scientific method to study real phenomena. The study was conducted on 870 teachers in private colleges and universities in China by convenient sampling. SPSS is a common method for quantitative research. SPSS is used for correlation analysis and difference analysis, Process plug-in is used to test the effect of data, and Bootstrap is used for further verification, because Bootstrap is an effective and accurate intermediary test method. Results. Demographically, there were no significant differences between gender and age in transformational leadership, job satisfaction and turnover intention (p> .050). Transformational leadership has a significant negative impact on teachers' turnover intention (B=-.341, p< .001). Job satisfaction has a significant negative effect on teachers' turnover intention (B=-.430, p< .001). Transformational leadership has a significant positive impact on the job satisfaction of teachers in private universities (B= .482, p< .001). Job satisfaction had a mediating effect between transformational leadership and turnover intention (B=-.134, p< .001). Conclusion. Transformational leadership can improve the job satisfaction of teachers in private colleges and universities, reduce their turnover intention. Under the management mode of transformational leadership, private colleges and universities can form scientific management mode. Less turnover intention can improve the stability of the teaching staff.

Abstract

In his book, The Republic, Plato, 2500 years ago, posited what seemed to him an ideal way to train political leaders, those that would become philosopher kings and rule the human polity with wisdom and dispassionate interests. Building on his postulation, this writing says that given the lack of conviction that Nigeria is worth serving, and the tendency for Nigerians to see their governments as places they go to steal from instead of working to improve their country, the paper recommends the type of rigorous training that Plato ventured for his city, Athens. Essentially, the idea is to have the politicians of Nigeria, while they are at universities trained in the military and upon discharge from the military be on military reserve duty throughout their political career and regularly go for military exercises and their training on patriotism reinformed. The paper points out that the minimum educational requirement for political leaders must be the equivalent of a master’s degree in business administration, plus courses on leadership, history, and political economy.

Despite extensive research on talent management, its direct effects on employee commitment and well-being are often overlooked, particularly in the construction industry. This study addresses this gap by exploring the relationships between talent management practices, organisational commitment, and turnover intention among employees in the construction industry in Malaysia. An online survey was conducted with 38 private companies, yielding 91 responses (Male = 28, Female = 63). The survey measured three talent management dimensions (acquisition, development, and retention) alongside organisational commitment and turnover intention. Results showed that talent development was the most emphasised, followed by talent acquisition and retention. Although all talent management dimensions were significantly correlated with organisational commitment, only talent acquisition was a significant predictor. Notably, none of the dimensions significantly predicted turnover intention. This study contributes to the construction literature by providing insights into the factors influencing employees’ organisational commitment and turnover intention. It highlights the critical role of talent acquisition in fostering commitment while suggesting that other factors may better explain turnover intentions. Further research is recommended to explore these complexities and refine talent management strategies specific to the construction industry

This study examines the phenomenon of power relations in mentoring novice teachers, through the prism of Clutterbuck’s developmental mentoring model. Novice teachers are those who are in their first five years of professional teaching. Studies reveal that they face a number of issues in these initial years, which at times make them transition to other professions. Mentoring has been identified as a crucial support in this stage of their careers. Nevertheless, power relations, and all the negative effects that come with them, can significantly diminish the successful outcome of the mentoring programme. Clutterbuck’s developmental mentoring model, with its emphasis on off-line mentoring, non-directive, mutual and multi-directional learning, non-hierarchical, and non-judgmental mentoring, offers an effective way to mitigate these power imbalances in order to make the relationship power-neutral. The research employs a qualitative methodology, collecting material from already published literature since 1995. The research explores the complexities of power relations in educational settings, using an understanding of power as an all-encompassing phenomenon and as one that permeates all relationships. Clutterbuck’s model provides practical insights into how best a mentoring scheme to novice teachers can be implemented looking at factors like hierarchical roles, cross-cultural, cross-gender, and diversified mentoring contexts. While Clutterbuck’s model provides valuable insights to addressing some of the power issues in mentoring novice teachers, this study recognises that it cannot solve all power-related problems in mentoring. The findings highlight the need for further research and thoughtful implementation of mentoring programmes that accounts for the nuanced power dynamics faced by novice teachers.

Over the past years, beverages with excessive sugar, caffeine and sodium were consumed
more. Today, consumers have been more educated, prefer healthier options, and growing
trend of healthy lifestyle have led to an increase demand for natural and healthy products.
The aim of the study was to analyze young consumers’ soft drink buying behaviors
in threefold by explaining reasons of buying soft drinks, factors that affect soft drink
buying decisions, and preferences about ingredients in soft drinks. The survey method
was used, and the field study was conducted with university students in Izmir City, Turkiye
by convenience sampling method. The results showed that young consumers buy soft
drinks since they like its taste, they can use them as a substitution of water when they are
thirsty, and they can find soft drinks easily at every point of sales. It was obtained that the
most important factor affecting students’ soft drink buying decisions is the brand name
of the soft drink. Besides, it was found out that packaging, aroma diversity, and having
healthy ingredients also affect their buying decisions. It was revealed that young generation’s
main concern regarding the ingredients in soft drinks was sugar level. The study
contributes to literature by investigating young consumers’ soft drinks buying behaviors
and showing how health-conscious behaviors may change buying behaviors.

Achieving academic excellence and promoting Nigeria's economic development by offering topnotch education are the main objectives of the university's establishment. Collaborative leadership, high-quality instruction and learning, staff development, and community involvement can all help achieve this. Nigerian university administrations have employed a variety of leadership philosophies in recent years, including coercive, transactional, transformative, democratic, and pseudo-democratic. It appears that Nigerian universities lack the collaborative leadership required for a productive workplace. This study examines the impact of collaborative leadership on performance of South Western Universities in Nigeria. Using survey research design, the study found that collaborative leadership has positive and significant effect on performance of south west universities with the coefficient .8160 and p-value 0.001 at 5% level of significant. The results of the study showed that collaborative leadership was linked to numerous favorable outcomes. It was therefore recommended that SouthWestern University management must play a key role in fostering a culture of collaborative leadership. A key factor in organizations' improved performance and success is collaborative leadership.

The new normal of supply chain has evolved due to the emergencies that were created by the pandemic of COVID 19. Major disruptions were seen from local, national, regional and international businesses. As countries fought to save lives, movement restrictions were put in place which affected the supply chains in unprecedented ways. The emergencies that were created through the disrupted supply chains affected the whole world and developing countries were worst hit as their supply chains were not mature or stable. It is in this backdrop that we look at the trilogy of the new normal in supply chains especially in developing countries. The concept of risk management strategies, technology usage and adaptability and agility of organizations and supply chains will then in turn make these supply chains remain relevant and resilient to the challenges that unforeseen circumstances like the pandemic COVID 19 bring about. The trilogy will also ensure sustainability in the new supply chains. It is in this backdrop that we look at the trilogy of resilience; the new normal in supply chains.

Police researchers have neglected any in-depth study of campus policing. Instead, the writings and practical observations of campus law enforcers have dominated the campus police literature. This paper presents the results of a pilot study of campus police at ten large universities located in the Midwest and the Southeast.  The paper begins with a historical analysis of the evolution of the campus police, reviews the scholarly literature on the  campus police, and pre­sents highlights of a descriptive analysis of a sample of campus police departments and officers. Finally, the striking similarities between campus police and their municipal counterparts are discussed.

Improving the quality of teacher training, in order to equip teachers for high-quality education, is an important goal of the educational system in the developed countries of the world. The United States of America, Australia and Finland are among the advanced countries in the world that benefit from successful education. It is obvious that a major part of the success of the educational system of any country is owed to the teachers of that country and its teacher training structure. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparative study of the structure of teacher education in three countries: The United States of America, Australia and Finland. This qualitative and descriptive research was conducted based on the Beredy model, according to the documents related to the teacher training system of the studied countries. This comparative research has examined the structure of teacher training, the curriculum and related standards, and the prerequisites for entering the teacher training course. It has also studied the models of issuing teachers' professional certification and graduation conditions from the teacher training program in the studied countries. The results indicate that although in these countries, the activity of the educational system and teacher training curriculum development is decentralized, there are many similarities in the overall structure of their teacher training curriculum. These countries act differently in terms of the entry method, the duration of the course and the type of final certificate issued.

This case study examines a conflict resolution incident at Solidarity for Afghan Families (SAF), a nongovernmental organization dedicated to empowering Afghan families against various socioeconomic challenges. Following a violent altercation between the Director General and the Logistics Manager, both employees violated SAF's General Employment Conditions (GEC), prompting an investigation by the Trustees Board. The board's decisions included job demotions, alternative positions, and separation of work locations, aimed at upholding organizational standards while acknowledging the employees' past contributions. A reconciliation process followed, where both individuals expressed regret and worked toward mending their professional relationship, serving as a powerful example for the organization. This incident underscores the importance of effective conflict resolution in NGOs, demonstrating how proactive leadership, open communication, and a commitment to organizational values can restore morale and strengthen team dynamics. The findings highlight the critical role of conflict management in fostering a collaborative workplace culture essential for achieving SAF's mission of supporting Afghan families.

Beginning from creation, man has not been stationary but moved from place to place. These movements have had serious impact on the history of the world in general, Nigeria inclusive (Akanji, 2012). Migration is an inevitable part of the story of man, families, villages and nation-states (Ebri, 2017). So, human resource movements started with the existence of humans particularly as humans had to look for what to eat in famine season. However, 'Migration has the potentials to be one of the most politically controversial issues, especially in the societies where immigrants settle' (Ibiang, 2012). Consequently, its simple in a discussion of migration to concentrate on the effects of human resource inflow alone (Ibiang, 2012). Of equal importance, is the human resource outflow which could have significant effects, particularly on emerging/developing or underdeveloped countries in the World, such as Nigeria. Therefore, sound migration policies must not be restricted to national effects but must consider mutual global effects. These common global effects often sharply feature in economic development (Ojile & Tijani, 2017). Human resource movements are continually on the increase annually, with crucial impacts for both outflow and inflow countries ((Noja et al., 2018). Truly human resource flow is commonly caused by relative differences in the economic development of countries but for the case of political a sylumseekers (Noja et al., 2018). As the extent and complexity of human resource flows have increased, so have the common development implications of the movement of persons, skills, knowledge on and remittances for researchers and policy makers. Migration was defined by Lee, (1966) in a broad context as a temporal or lasting change in residence. Bauer et al (2004) defined migration as the movement of an individual or a group of people geographically from one place to another, surpassing political and administrative boundaries, in the attempt to domicile in a place other than the place of origin. Migration could be internal or external. It's internal where the movement of people is within the same locality or country, and external where the movement of people is across one country to another. Migrants may be persons, individual family units or large groups (Castles & Miller, 2009). This study synthesises some of the findings of the increasing discuss on human resource migration with a view of drawing policy interventions nationally and multilaterally that can be considered. Its fundamental thrust is policy options that maximise the resultant advantages of migration for enhancing entrepreneurial development, remittances and economic growth. Human resource migration affects both the areas of origin and destination. Some identified effects are; Economic, Political, Health and Social. Migration is a step that can affect households, the home communities, and the total economy of a country in several manners (Azam & Gubert, 2006).This paper seeks to assess the effect of human resource emigration on the Nigerian economy.

This study aimed to demonstrate the use of a systems theorybased accident analysis technique in health care applications as a more powerful alternative to the chain-of-event accident models currently underpinning root cause analysis methods. Method: A new accident analysis technique, CAST [Causal Analysis based on Systems Theory], is described and illustrated on a set of adverse cardiovascular surgery events at a large medical center. The lessons that can be learned from the analysis are compared with those that can be derived from the typical root cause analysis techniques used today. Results: The analysis of the 30 cardiovascular surgery adverse events using CAST revealed the reasons behind unsafe individual behavior, which were related to the design of the system involved and not negligence or incompetence on the part of individuals. With the use of the system-theoretic analysis results, recommendations can be generated to change the context in which decisions are made and thus improve decision making and reduce the risk of an accident. Conclusions: The use of a systems-theoretic accident analysis technique can assist in identifying causal factors at all levels of the system without simply assigning blame to either the frontline clinicians or technicians involved. Identification of these causal factors in accidents will help health care systems learn from mistakes and design system-level changes to prevent them in the future.

Introduction 1.1. Background of the Study In the late 1980s and early 1990s, dissatisfaction with traditional performance measurement systems provided the basis for 'balanced' and 'multidimensional' performance measurements. Organizations have used methods consisting of financial and non-financial measures to pursue progress recently (Epstein & Manzoni, 1997). The balanced card was created by Art Schneider man in 1987 at Analog Devices, a mid-sized semiconductor company; the Analog Devices Balanced Scorecard was similar to what is now known as a "First Generation" Balanced Scorecard. In those years, organizations use various techniques such as total quality management (TQM), SWOT analysis, just-in-time (JIT), production and distribution system, business process reengineering, etc. to improve performance and increase profitability (Kaplan & Norton, 1996). In the 1990s Robert Kaplan and David Norton developed balancing financial, internal processes, customer, learning, and growth perspectives (Kaplan & Norton, 1996). A balanced scorecard solves the implementation strategy issue by providing an efficient and effective performance measurement system. Focusing on the financial perspective, the customer perspective, and the internal processes perspective, the three BSC perspectives point to a huge gap between the capabilities of people, processes, and systems on the one hand, and the actions required to achieve goals on the other. (Jelenic, 2011)To overcome this problem, organizations have begun to train

An organization must grow and make profits for future development and it must be able to perform the tasks as stated in its objectives. It is necessary for the organization leadership to appreciate that the organization exists because of the people involved in it and these are whom they lead (Deaconu, Rasca, & Manolescu, 2010). The 21 st Century organization trends consider employees as 'assets' and like all assets, they must make a profit for the organization otherwise they would be discarded which would mean the end of the organization (Gabcanova, 2011). A leader may be very qualified in the technical aspects but ultimately, the actual performance of the tasks will only succeed through the performance of the followers and since the 21 st Century organizations are working through teams, then the success of the tasks will depend on how a line manager leads the followers in the team which makes the human capital performance a significant element in any organization (Deaconu, Rasca, & Manolescu, 2010).

Manajemen keperawatan merupakan suatu bentuk koordinasi dan integrasi sumbersumber keperawatan dengan menerapkan proses manajemen untuk mencapai tujuan dan obyektifitas asuhan keperawatan dan pelayanan keperawatan. Proses manajemen dibagi menjadi lima tahap yaitu perencanaan, pengorganisasian, kepersonaliaan, pengarahan dan pengendalian.

BackgroundOpen communication between leadership and frontline staff at the unit level is vital in promoting safe hospital culture. Our hospital staff culture survey identified the failure to address safety issues as one of the areas where staff felt unable to express their concerns openly. Thus, this improvement project using the daily safety huddle tool has been developed to enhance teamwork communication and respond effectively to patient safety issues identified in a paediatric intensive care unit.MethodsWe used the TeamSTEPPS quality approach. TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based set of teamwork tools developed by the US Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality to enhance teamwork and communication. We applied TeamSTEPPS using a tool called the Daily Safety Huddle, aiming at improving communication and interaction between healthcare workers and building trust by acting immediately when there is any patient safety issue or concern at the unit level.ResultsDuring the period from April...

Leadership and leadership styles are considered as decisive factors to the success and failure of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The objectives of the paper are to identify benefits and drawbacks of applying three major leadership styles, namely autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire styles of Vietnamese SMEs leaders, who are working in various business fields. The qualitative approach was used to explore the perceptions of 51 Vietnamese SME managers, and the N-vivo software was useful in data analysis. The theoretical contribution, therefore, can be seen by the in-depth investigating on the leadership styles from the multi-dimensional viewpoints of SMEs leaders in the culture context of one Asian emerging nation such as Vietnam. The paper is also expected to be useful for SME managers to better understanding leadership styles, in order to adjust and perfect their leadership behaviors for more effective managerial and organizational performance.

The emergence of the Covid-19 Pandemic unexpectedly put the world in an era of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) which made many organizations struggle to maintain their survival and bounce back to gain competitive advantage. Previous research studies shown resilience plays an important role in organizational survival, especially in the VUCA era. Many factors can affect organizational resilience, this research aims to study the role of psychological capital, trust, agility, strategic flexibility on organizational resilience and organizational survival in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. We tested our hypothesis on a dataset of 100 retail industry convenience stores, by taking data from store heads and employees through an online survey. The results showed that the role of trust and strategic flexibility had a positive effect on organizational resilience and organizational survival.

There is a pronounced challenge with the numerical growth of the church in some parts of the world. Accessible studies on church growth from the US and Europe give credibility to the opinion (Paas, 2017; Jordan, 2019; Burdick,2018; Butcher, 2015). As the church in the West continue to decline in terms of numbers, the church in Kenya, Africa is experiencing numerical a high church growth (Nkonge, 2013). Although the numerical church growth may be credited to many probable determinants, church leadership comes across as one of the main contributing factors (Christopherson, 2014). Unfortunately, as Brooks (2018) argues, church growth has not been examined closely from the leadership perspective. Mutia, K'Aol and Katuse (2016) suggested need for further studies to define the different leadership styles that are strategic in guaranteeing maintainable growth of the church. In areas where the Church has been observed to be declining, plateauing or not growing in terms of numbers, inadequate leadership has been proposed as the main cause. In that regard, there is need for additional study on the effect of leadership styles on numerical church growth (Brooks, 2018). For the purpose of this study, employees' retention in a business organization serves as a comparison to church members' retention and consequent numerical church growth. Church members' empowerment practice has become a necessity. Modern organizations (church included) need leadership, which is well-versed about the intricacies of the fastchanging work environment (Nanjun desarras wamy & Swamy, 2014). Key questions that guided the study were: • Is there church growth among Pentecostal churches in Kenya? • Is there church members' empowerment among Pentecostal churches in Kenya? • In what way does church members' empowerment affect church growth among Pentecostal churches in Kenya? 2. Literature Review Empowerment is seen as an act of providing people freedom to effectively do what they want to do, instead of requiring them to do what the leader wants (Whetten& Cameron, 2011). It involves a leader's resolve to allow or give others in the organization space or opportunity to exercise influence (Yukl, 2013). It means allowing, permitting or giving a chance to followers or employees to be able to make their own decisions (Men, 2011). Employee empowerment carries

Research on transformational leadership (TL) and human resource management (HRM) typically include looking at how leaders can create a more engaged, productive workforce, and how to manage employee relationships more effectively. This paper establishes the importance of leadership in education. Human Resource Management and its related fields of education and performance are crucial organizational support functions for such development. Organizations that promote superiority in learning and performance have been characterized as having robust HRM cultures. Transformational leadership (TL) is a style of leadership where school administrators and leaders encourage, connect, and inspire instructors and students to bring innovation and transformation to an institute for the sake of development and future success. Leaders in this setting empower and coach stakeholders to exercise authority and make decisions in their allocated roles. Literature-based research is essential because it esta...

This research paper delves into the challenges and strategies employed by international managers navigating multicultural teams. Through semi-structured interviews with four experienced managers from diverse backgrounds, the study explores the nuances of cross-cultural communication, expectations, and team dynamics. The findings reveal a range of obstacles encountered, including language barriers, varying work ethics, and differing communication styles. However, the managers also share valuable insights into effective strategies for building trust, aligning goals, and resolving conflicts within multicultural teams. The research underscores the importance of cultural sensitivity, open communication, and flexible management styles in fostering successful collaboration across cultural boundaries.

Young people with permanent hearing loss need to transition into adult services and engagement with the transition process is required to achieve this. Although there are clear national recommendations about the transition process and transfer to the adult services limited evidence has been published about the implementation and efficacy of transition programmes in young adults with permanent hearing loss. The primary aim of this quality improvement project was to significantly increase the number of teenagers with a clear transition protocol documented in their notes. The secondary aims were to ensure good medical and audiological outcomes based on all completing their medical investigations prior to transfer to the adult services and also based on a survey regarding attitudes to hearing aids use. A multiphase intervention programme was developed ; (1) staff update with national transition protocols, (2) development of a clear transition protocol, (3) allocated key worker (4) access and (5) engagement. Through these interventions we increased the number of teenagers who had a clear transition protocol documented in their notes from 11% to 91%. 84% of our teenagers had completed their medical investigations, although documented discussion about the investigations had been done with 100% of the cohort. 9.2 % of adolescents felt pressurised to use hearing aids compared to 35% prior to the interventions. This project resulted in clear, measurable conclusions and we have shown that we better understand the needs of our patients and the improvement is sustainable. Problem This study deals with the transition of adolescents with permanent hearing loss from the paediatric to the adult audiovestibular medicine or ENT services. They are required to fully understand their condition in order to take responsibility for their health and continue to attend appointments as adults. Limited data have been published about the efficacy and outcomes of transition programmes in patients with hearing loss. However, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) have provided guidance about the importance of clear transition pathways and their implementation. Transition protocols are widely accepted to be fundamental elements of good quality of care.
