The study focused on the relationship between school leadership and teacher outcomes, particularly regarding teachers' perceptions of leadership behavior and its impact on their well-being and satisfaction. Anchored in the Transformational Leadership Theory, the research aims to explore how teachers' perception of leadership behavior influences their satisfaction towards school leadership. The study, conducted in a public elementary school in Cagayan de Oro City, involved 85 teachers and utilized the Leader Behavior Scale (LBS) and Teachers' Satisfaction on School Leadership Scale (TSSS) for data collection. The results revealed strengths in certain leadership behaviors of the school head but also identified areas for improvement, such as Performance Orientor, Potential Extractor, and Socially Intelligent aspects of leadership. Despite this, participants expressed high levels of satisfaction with various aspects of school leadership, highlighting the positive impact of effective leadership practices. The study found a positive relationship between perceived leadership behavior and teachers' satisfaction towards school leadership (r=0.305, p=0.004), emphasizing the importance of aligning leadership behaviors with Transformational Leadership principles. Recommendations include implementing specialized leadership training programs, coaching, mentoring initiatives, and structured feedback mechanisms to enhance the overall effectiveness of the school head's leadership style and create a positive organizational climate within the school community. This research contributes to a better understanding of school leadership dynamics and provides insights for improving organizational dynamics and fostering a positive work environment in educational institutions.

Leadership behavior profoundly influences organizational culture, serving as a cornerstone for environments that foster safety, innovation, and employee satisfaction. This article utilizes research from the primary literature to demonstrate how leaders' actions and underlying fears influence organizational dynamics and employee outcomes, highlighting the importance of respect, transparency, and trust. Studies have shown that leadership styles shape the work environment, driving innovation and performance. However, concerns over productivity, evaluation, and control can lead to poor communication, low transparency, reduced innovation, and diminished performance, creating a culture of mistrust and anxiety. Authoritarian control or neglect of employees' needs exacerbates these issues, stifling creativity. The Pygmalion and Golem effects demonstrate how positive reinforcement enhances morale, productivity, and retention, while negative reinforcement is detrimental. Leaders operating under fears of failure or loss of control or political capital inadvertently create a culture of fear and increasingly severe feedback loops of reduced employee trust, satisfaction, and commitment. Addressing these fears fosters open communication, psychological safety, transparency, and mutual respect. Strategies for transforming leadership fears into positive change include promoting open communication, decentralizing decision-making, and implementing positive reinforcement mechanisms. Constructive feedback mechanisms encourage bidirectional communication and help mitigate the negative impacts of leadership fears. Leaders who address their fears can strengthen team trust, enhancing collaboration and engagement. Ultimately, managing leadership fears proactively catalyzes organizational learning and development, promoting a mindset where challenges are seen as opportunities for growth. This approach enhances adaptability and resilience while fostering continuous improvement. Addressing leadership fears and fostering a supportive culture is essential for sustainable productivity and success, serving as a starting point for exploring strategies that support employee performance and development, ultimately contributing to organizational success.

This study examines the relationship between contextual and personality factors and leadership behavior. Understanding the dynamics of explorative and exploitative leadership behavior is critical in today's organizations. Data from an empirical study of N=139 German leaders from different industries show significant positive correlations between emotional stability, openness to experience and explorative leadership behavior. In addition, perceived environmental uncertainty and autonomy are significant factors that positively influence explorative leadership behavior. These findings offer recommendations for leaders and organizations in turbulent times and highlight the complex interplay of context, personality and leadership behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of a leadership identity has been argued to be an important determinant for what leaders do. For leaders in highly specialized work environments, the development of a leadership identity has been regarded both in absolute terms and in relation to their professional identity. This study investigates the extent to which leadership identity in absolute and relative terms explains various types of leadership behaviors. Based on panel survey data from clinical directors in Danish hospital departments, the findings show that the absolute leadership identity predicts transformational, transactional, and professional development leadership, whereas no correlations are found between relative leadership identity and leadership behavior. The study supports the expectation that leadership identity is, in its own right, an important precondition for leadership behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examined the relationship between students' academic performance, teachers' commitment, and leadership behavior of school administrators. Teachers' commitment was measured in two areas-commitment to job and commitment to organization and the leadership behavior of school administrators were evaluated in terms of consideration and initiating structure. Eighty-one teachers, 11 school heads, and 470 students served as respondents. The descriptive survey research technique, correlation analysis, and the following statistical methods were used: frequency, mean, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. The study revealed that the initiating structure and consideration dimensions of leadership behavior affect teachers' commitment to job (CTJ) and teacher's commitment to organization (CTO). The correlation between CTJ and CTO and leadership behavior-initiating structure is positive and with leadership behavior-consideration negative. CTJ and CTO is correlated with the students' academic performance in math, but not in Science and English. The correlation is negative. Students' academic performance in all subject areas is negatively correlated with leadership behavior-initiating structure and has no significant relationship with leadership behavior-consideration. The leadership behavior-initiating structure is positively correlated with teachers' commitment to both job and organization but has negative correlation with students' academic performance in math, science, and English.

Basically, every educational institution has a certain vision and mission that must be achieved. To achieve each goal, it encourages educational institutions to maximize the performance of teachers in achieving organizational goals. However, the existence of deviant leadership behavior outside of authority can be an obstacle in achieving organizational goals. This can occur because such behavior is deliberately done to disrupt the smooth running of the organization and justice in the work environment is increasingly recognized as an important factor in achieving optimal performance. This study is intended to examine how leadership behavior and organizational justice in higher education affect lecturers' performance behavior. Using 100 respondents from higher education institutions in Surabaya, leadership behavior and organizational culture were examined for their impact on lecturer performance. The method of analysis applied in this study is a quantitative approach using multiple regression, with validity and reliability testing of each variable in question as well as classical assumption tests before the best research model is obtained. All results support the effects studied. Leadership behavior and organizational justice have a real impact on lecturer performance. These findings are consistent with the proposed hypothesis, confirming the importance of the role of leaders and a fair organizational culture in improving lecturer performance.

This study explores how top management (executive and artistic directors) in nonprofit arts and cultural organizations understand and perform their roles on a day-to-day basis. We draw on Henry Mintzberg's seminal work on managerial behavior to map out the roles that today's leaders of arts and cultural organizations assume. Our findings suggest that they are primarily involved in roles concerning interpersonal exchanges and decision-making. In addition to Mintzberg's roles, our qualitative study also reveals the presence of self-management activities, in the sense of dealing with stress and critically reflecting on personal resources. We conceptualize these emerging roles in a new category of "intrapersonal roles," which extends the range of Mintzberg's managerial roles, and thematize the implications for the literature and arts management professional practice, such as how top managers can be positive role models for other employees.

This article explores the relationship between organizational commitment, leadership behavior, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and performance in education personnel staff. The research found that organizational commitment positively and significantly influences OCB and performance. Leadership behavior directly impacts OCB and performance, while OCB has a positive and significant effect on performance. OCB also mediates the relationship between organizational commitment and performance, as well as between leadership behavior and performance. The article suggests that organizations should focus on increasing loyalty, career development, and a sense of togetherness among education staff to improve performance. The text discusses the importance of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in achieving organizational effectiveness. It highlights the voluntary actions of employees, such as sharing information, maintaining organizational property, and adhering to organizational rules, as contributing to cost efficiency and goal achievement. The text also emphasizes the role of organizational commitment and leadership behavior in improving employee performance. While some studies support the positive effects of organizational commitment and leadership behavior on OCB and performance, others find contradictory results. The text suggests further research on leadership behavior and the use of mediating variables, such as OCB, to understand their impact on performance. The study focuses on educational staff in higher education organizations and aims to explore the relationship between leadership behavior, organizational commitment, OCB, and performance. The study examines the implementation of organizational commitment and leadership behavior on the performance of education personnel staff, with the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The research findings suggest that leadership [Extracted from the article]

A historical review was conducted on Fred Fiedler’s Contingency Model to determine how this model has been used over the past 30 years since 1980. Fred Fiedler’s Contingency Model was created in 1967 to move the field of organizational research from analyzing traits and personal characteristics of leaders to assessing leadership styles and behaviors. The premise of the model is that the individual’s leadership style is the result of their life experiences, making it a fixed characteristic that is extremely difficult to change. Over the years, this model has been used with the aim of improving its validity and reliability in a multitude of national and international organizational settings. The article begins with a brief review of Fiedler’s background, progresses with a detailed description of Fiedler’s Contingency Model, and chronicles Fiedler’s Contingency Model’s use in the past and the present from 1980 to 2022. As a result, two major implications were found. The first implication was that the frequent use of the model had strengthened its validity and reliability, where it was one of the models that were readily used in studies focused on organizational leadership. The second implication was that the findings from these studies were used to address leadership problems that the organization needed to resolve. Based on these implications, it is safe to conclude that this model will continue to be used in future studies, where it will be fascinating to see how the results from Fiedler’s Contingency Model will benefit the organizations moving forward. Challenges facing many workplaces is the issue where supervisors’ leadership style may not fit specific work situation which leads to conflict with their employees. Fiedler’s Contingency Model provides a tool that can be used to identify and place supervisors in the best work situation where the supervisors’ leadership style can be the most effective.

Abstract Background Against the backdrop of demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers, employees’ psychological wellbeing is of special interest for employers. In previous studies, individual health literacy has already been positively associated with psychological wellbeing. However, in order to improve health literacy, it is essential to take into account both the individual prerequisites and the demands and complexity of the system in which individuals operate. As current studies primarily focus on employees’ individual health literacy and as the concept of organizational health literacy, so far, is mainly used in the context of health care institutions, this study investigates on the impact of organizational health literacy and health supporting leadership on the relationship between individual health literacy and employees’ psychological wellbeing in a big German company based in the financial sector. Methods Data of an employee survey that was conducted in a big German company of the financial sector in October 2021 were analyzed by two mediation analyses using the PROCESS macro by Hayes for SPSS. A total of 2555 employees was included in analyses (51.4% male and 48.6% female). Results The relationship between individual health literacy and employees’ psychological wellbeing is partially mediated by organizational health literacy, indirect effect ab 0.268 – CI [0.170, 0.378] and by health supporting leadership, indirect effect ab 0.228 – CI [0.137, 0.329]. Conclusion Study results provide new indications for planning and evaluating the health strategy of companies. Regarding the psychological wellbeing of employees, practitioners and researchers should focus not only on individual health literacy but also on organizational health literacy and health supporting leadership.

Sharing power and information and fostering the growth of self-leading skills are the objectives of leadership. Even the most influential and powerful people become leaders accidentally since most people don't seek the position. It might be challenging and even terrifying to speak in front of others and convince them to do something. Leadership is jointly formed. It is neither with one side nor the other. We all take part in the illusion, which is what it is. In this article, we will explore what are the traits of the ideal leader and how to be improve them with Self-Ledership Also we take a short look on who will be best leader from the genders.

This study, with the aim to test theory in practice, used group concept mapping to develop a comprehensive conceptualization of middle managers' leadership behaviors concerning digital transformation as a form of radical change. Participants were professionals in the largest public organization in the Netherlands (a police organization) who were dealing with digital transformation in their own practice and who enrolled in an education program on leadership and intelligence. Based on 94 unique statements, the participant-driven results revealed six thematically coherent clusters representing leadership skills and behaviors regarding improvement and results, digital technologies, cooperation, the self, change and ambivalence, and others. The stress value of 0.2234 indicated a good fit. Further analysis showed that clusters containing soft skills and people-oriented behaviors were considered the most important. These results can serve as input to support leadership development programs for middle managers to develop themselves into peopleoriented, empowering leaders who can adapt their leadership approaches to fit and support change in general and technology-driven change in particular. Ultimately this will benefit their and their employees' overall well-being at work. This study is the first to investigate middle managers' leadership skills and behaviors in a large public organization that is entirely participant-driven. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Executive functions are the cognitive abilities that enable individuals to effectively manage their attention. The efficient management of attention facilitates performance when individuals must think and act quickly and adaptively, or when job demands are novel and time is constrained. In organizations, these executive functions may be especially relevant for how successful leaders and managers perform in their several roles and how they further organizational goals. Yet, organizational behavior research has largely neglected an executive functioning lens. The present work illustrates how the core facets of executive functions—inhibition, working memory, and shifting—have implications for leadership and management outcomes by influencing common leadership tasks: decision-making, planning and monitoring, problem solving, negotiating, and innovating. Our goal is to supplement prevailing explanations of these tasks (e.g., general intelligence and job knowledge) with this executive functioning lens. We provide strategies for organizations to assess and bolster these executive functions in their leaders and managers and urge future organizational research to consider the important role of executive functions involved in the selection, training, and management of leaders and managers.

Purpose: This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach: This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings: This study seeks the understand the behaviors, skills, and experience that are vital in those who might successfully lead a digital transformation program within an organization. To lead through uncomfortable changes, through and across multiple layers of a business, the results confirmed that behavioral traits like honesty, emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-awareness as a burnout protection mechanism are primarily vital. Followed then by a supporting cluster of strategy elements, the chosen leader should be well equipped. The leader's cultural environment does also impact the digital transformation program. Managing complex change is ultimately a rigorously behavioral art. Originality/value: The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

The aim of this research was to determine which leadership style is perceived as the most dominant by the secondary school students, when the teachers' behaviours are presented through transformational, transactional and passive-avoidant leadership components. The perception of teacher leadership styles was also investigated in relation to various socio-demographic parameters. A total number of 500 secondary school students of final grade from Nis in the Republic of Serbia, participated in the research. Since this research was based on Transformational and Transactional Theories, information about teacher leadership style and leadership factors was collected through the adapted Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire - MLQ (Avolio & Bass, 2004). The research results indicate that, according to the students' perceptions, secondary school teachers practice both transactional as well as transformational leadership style, i.e., in the schools covered by the research a full range leadership model is articulated. Also, the research confirmed that variables such as gender, school type, educational profile, academic performance of the participants affect the perception of teachers' leadership styles.

Coaches' leadership behavior is a key element that affects athletes' psychological quality and competitive level. It is important to clarify the relationship between coaches' leadership behaviors and athletes' sports performance, which is significant to promote scientific and systematic training and improve sports performance for athletes. This study constructed a model of the relationship between leadership behaviors and sports performance, using a stratified sampling method to investigate athletes in Beijing Xiannongtan Sports School and Shichahai Sports School, and using regression analysis to empirically analyze the relevant results. The results showed that: authoritarian leadership behavior, democratic leadership behavior, training guidance behavior, social support behavior, and positive feedback behavior all had significant positive effects on athletic performance; psychological preparation had a significant mediating effect between coaches' leadership behavior and athletes' sports performance; sports anxiety had a significant mediating effect between democratic leadership behavior, social support behavior, and positive feedback behavior on athletic performance, while the mediating effect between authoritarian leadership behavior and training guidance behavior on sports performance was not significant. Based on this, it was concluded that different sports leadership behaviors and styles of coaches have different effects on improving athletes' sports performance, and therefore, coaches should adjust athletes' psychological preparation in time, reduce athletes' psychological anxiety, improve athletes' psychological quality, promote athletes' self-worth, and promote athletes' to get better sports performance.

Building information modeling (BIM) implementation is expanding over time, and collaboration is becoming more critical in construction projects. Leadership characteristics may contribute to or hinder the effectiveness of these collaborations in BIM-based construction projects. However, the current body of knowledge lacks information on the leadership characteristics that can be constructive or destructive for BIM-based construction projects. Therefore, this study aims to determine the constructive and destructive leadership behaviors, skills, styles, and traits in BIM-based construction projects. An explorative qualitative study was conducted by interviewing twenty architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals. Then, the thematic analysis approach was used to analyze the interview data. The study findings suggest that common constructive leadership behaviors are tolerant and committed. Furthermore, the common constructive leadership trait and style is reliability. On the contrary, the common destructive leadership behavior is intolerant. This study provides the literature with a novel list of constructive and destructive leadership characteristics for BIM-based construction projects. Understanding these characteristics would assist industry professionals and policymakers in increasing the performance of BIM-based construction projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study presents a model that links work performance, leadership behavior, personality, and work commitment. The main objective is to investigate the direct and indirect effects of personality, work commitment, and leadership behavior on work performance. The data was obtained through a questionnaire from a sample of 125 employee respondents at PT Gradion Supermarket Malang Raya. The data were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. There were seven hypotheses proved in this study. The results reveal that leadership behavior can positively contribute to employee performance. In addition, work personality also positively contributes to employee performance, work commitment positively contributes to work performance, and the work environment contributes better to leadership behavior. The results of the mediation test show that work personality has contributed well to employee work performance with the leader's behavior being implemented optimally, and work commitment is highly conditioned on employee performance by applying maximum leadership behavior. Leadership behavior has been able to make a positive contribution to the work performance of PT Gradion Supermarket employees. Employee personality makes a positive contribution to PT Gradion Supermarket employee performance. Work commitment makes a positive contribution to PT Gradion Supermarket employee performance. Personality has a positive contribution to behavior leadership.

This research is essential because the lecturers’ job satisfaction as the leading factor in higher education activities requires adequate attention. Attention should be paid through measured research to produce reliable decisions. Therefore, this research aims to examine and measure the variables of leadership behavior, work environment, and individual characteristics to know the appropriate treatments to increase lecturer job satisfaction. The research utilized the survey design on the civil servant lecturers.

This paper systematizes the theoretical foundation and empirical evidence of the impact of leadership behavior on entrepreneurship in state-owned enterprises, and the difference between state-owned enterprises that applied management based on the accountability of leaders, and those that did not. The paper uses the OLS regression model to identify the impact of leadership behavior on the entrepreneurship of state-owned enterprises by using data from a survey of 259 civil servants in Vietnamese state-owned enterprises. In our sample, 109 respondents belonged to the category of state-owned enterprises that did not apply management based on accountability, and 140 were state-owned enterprises that applied management based on accountability. The findings show that leadership behavior has a positive impact on the entrepreneurship of state-owned enterprises that do and do not apply management based on accountability, with results of 0.305 and 0.022, respectively. Moreover, the regression model is used to identify the factors that influence leadership behavior, including vision and wage policy having a statistical significance and positive impact on the leadership behaviors in all the state-owned enterprises. Additionally, some factors, including policy building, hi-tech usage, culture, teamwork, and training policy have positive impacts on leadership behavior in Model 1, and encouragement, monitoring, responsibility, and recruitment policy had positive impacts in Model 2 among the state enterprises. Additionally, this paper recommends some policies to promote leadership behavior in state enterprises in Vietnam. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
