The power of union membership has declined in the United States substantially. Many manufacturers have moved many of their operations to new jurisdictions, to America’s south and to other low wage countries, to take advantage of the tax incentives many jurisdictions have to offer in most instances, a nonunion workforce. Teachers’ unions have experienced other external factors, such as the results of Right to Work legislation, and the charter school movement.

This study researched the history of teacher labor union leadership and explored the internal and external factors that have affected unions over the past 50 years. This study included 3 research questions: (a) What are the qualities of an effective teach labor union leader? (b) What are the internal and external factors that have affected teachers’ unions for the past 50 years? Using the survey results and the literature, what model emerges that describes and effective teacher labor union leader? In spite of the adverse external factors that have affected teacher union members: the quality of labor union leadership has been a factor in the sustainability and strength of union membership.

The study found an effective teacher labor union leader must possess the following qualities: ability to collaborate, have a shared vision with the members of the organization, be influential, and possess an adaptive capacity, possess the intelligence to adapt to the internal and external factors that may impact their organization. An effective teacher union leader, must build and strengthen organizational capacity to alleviate member apathy and to increase member engagement.

Teacher union members must be able to identify the qualities of an effective teacher labor union leader and teacher union leaders must be able to know when they are effective. This study has suggested a systems model approach from the local school district to the State, CTA, as an assessment tool, where there is personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, team learning and systems thinking, where individuals are working together at their best in order to build capacity to continue to learn in order to create the results the members and the organization envision for the future.

Annotation:

Research and literature on teaching adults primarily discusses longer courses within the sphere of formal education, that is formal tertiary education and non-formal education (typically work-place or work-related learning). While both these fields provide a rich source of general information, it is difficult to find research texts that specifically deal with teaching adults in a seminar environment, that is, a planned, one-off learning event ranging in length from three hours to two days. While some research has focused on Thai culture in general and the nature of Thai university teaching in particular, very little has been published concerning the teaching of Thai adults, whether in a formal setting such as a university or college, or in a non-formal, work-place or work-related setting. This research reflects an effort to compensate for this pronounced lack of research in teaching adults in a short course environment and the paucity of research on teaching Thai adults. Using a case-study method, fifteen Western or Western-educated Thai trainers in the Thai short-course market were interviewed to determine the characteristics of an effective short-course trainer instructing courses in English. Based on a semi-structured interview format, with questions framed from the literature review, eight key characteristics were determined that reflect the qualities of an effective trainer in the Thai market. Centered on the vital role played by trainers' knowledge of the participants and their culture, the characteristics identified by the research highlight the need to foreground key aspects of participant culture when planning and presenting a short course in the Thai business community. While content expertise and teaching skills remain important, the key to effectiveness lies in acquiring and skillfully applying a knowledge of participants that goes beyond needs analysis to include a generic knowledge of the social norms that identify Thais as a cultural group throughout the training process. The eight characteristics are discussed in detail, and while some aspects of these are consistent with the conventional wisdom discussed in the literature review, most arose from the analyses of comments provided by the interviewees. This discussion leads into a number of recommendations for new trainers in this market and concludes with insights into further areas of study that could prove useful in Thai and other cultures, and for educators involved in short- or long-course events.

This experimental study used eight written vignettes to analyze the effects of professor gender, professor leadership style (democratic/autocratic), and type of situation (task/personal) and participant gender on evaluations of professorsÊ¹ competence, likeability and masculinity characteristics. Undergraduates from the College of Arts and Science (N=932; Males=464, Females=467), and the College of Education (N=722; Males=140, Females=582) were used. Results indicated that research participants rated democratic professors significantly more competent, likeable, and more feminine than autocratic professors. Contrary to expectations derived from gender spill-over and gender congruency theories, male participants did not rate female professors more negatively than their male counterparts when they acted autocratically in a personal situation (i.e., gender incongruent manner.) Exploratory results revealed trends that are discussed along with theoretical and practical implications.

Annotation:

In a society where the sustainability trend is growing and becoming increasingly important, companies are expected to make clearer commitments to sustainability where consumers are increasingly demanding a change when it comes to among other things, production and social responsibility. In retail, there is a clear wave of sustainability due to increased knowledge and that consumers now do more conscious choices. In turn, this result in an increased pressure on companies as a whole but also on well-functioning leadership and internal communication at store level. At the same time, there is little research on the relationship between leadership and internal communication and the importance of employees during a sustainable organizational change. The overall purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between leadership and internal communication during a sustainable change. Further, the study intends to further answer two research questions:- How do leaders in retail work with internal communication to implement a sustainable organizational change?- How do store managers and employees experience internal communication and leadership during a sustainable organizational change? A delimitation has been made where the authors have chosen the retail company Clas Ohlson where the company’s ambitions for sustainability are in line with the government’s environmental goals until 2045, to be climate neutral. Furthermore, two stores have been selected to conduct the study. The qualitative study is based on an inductive approach with an exploratory approach, this entails a deeper analysis of the case study that is carried out. Nine respondents with three different positions within the company participated in semi-structured interviews and that additional data was collected from public published organizational document. A thematic analysis was conducted to encode the collected data where the authors found three primary factors that affect the relationship between leadership and internal communication during the sustainable organizational change: commitment, overflow of information and lack of time. The study finds that it is the commitment of the leaders through offering employee’s information and knowledge that can lead to a positive impact in the sustainable change. Furthermore, both the store manager and employees experience how communication has a negative effect due to the overflow of information that leads to employees having difficulty searching for information and the lack of time is often mentioned as a contributing factor. This leads us to the general conclusion that shows that it is not the leadership at a store level that affect, rather shortcomings in the communication which in turn, affects the implementation of the sustainable organizational change.

Syfte Syftet är att få en djupare förståelse för vad som karakteriserar en skicklig ledare. Vidare syftar studien i att analysera hur ledaregenskaper, kulturer och ledarstilar bidrar till ett lyckat ledarskap. Metod Baserat på en kvalitativ undersökning har jag undersökt vad som utgör en framgångsrik ledare inom IT-branschen. Jag har utfört sex djupgående intervjuer med högt uppsatta ledare (VD) i företag inom IT-branschen. Utfallet av dessa intervjuer redovisas och kopplas samman med teorier i kapitel 4, empirisk och teoretisk analys. Resultatet av min undersökning redovisas slutligen i avsnittet slutsats. Slutsats Tendenser och mönster som har identifierats är att kommunikation blir allt mer centralt i organisationer. Jag har kommit fram till att en framgångsrik ledare inom IT-branschen bör vara lyhörd, resultat och målinriktad, ha empati och en god människosyn samt kunna anpassa sin ledarstil utifrån siuation. Jag har klargjort att företagskulturer i olika länder skiljer sig åt och både ledare och organisationer måste idag tänka multikulturellt och multietniskt för att bli framgångsrika.

Annotation:

Informal leaders can have similar effects on firm performance as formal leaders. Although informal leadership can play a critical role in organizational functioning, empirical research concerning this issue is scarce. I conceptualized informal leadership as a continuous variable, and tested the relationship between informal leadership and the following variables. First, this study examined how informal leaders can influence over other members, even though they do not possess formal power. Five indicators, i.e., performance, turnover intention, career satisfaction, work engagement, and optimism were selected to assess the qualities of informal leaders as role models. Second, this study advanced our understanding of how demographic factors (i.e., age, educational background, and work experience) contribute to shaping informal leadership. In addition, T-test was chosen to test whether informal leadership is more noteworthy in women than men. Lastly, this study compared the effects of informal and formal leaders on team effectiveness.

The aim of this research was to investigate the perceived qualities of African Business leaders and develop a tentative model of African leadership. In-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of branch regional and senior managers of The African Bank Limited. The results of the data analysis indicated that there are significant diferences in the approaches to management and leadership that exist between adherents to conventional western management paradigisms, and those that adopt a more traditional Afrocentric approach. In addition, the themes and construents that emerged were cross-referenced with those that emerged from the literature study. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]

Annotation:

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether marketing leaders have different skills and leadership qualities in comparison to know leadership theory. In addition, the researcher will aim to establish clear cut ways of identifying the leadership skills and qualities that are unique to marketing managers. There seems to be a lack of literature on this subject, however, the researcher will aim to establish value added relevance that will justify the purpose of and reasons behind this study. The research will take the form of a qualitative study, specifically because no prior focussed research in this regard has been done. For the purposes of this paper a case study approach will be followed, as it will assist the Researcher in learning and understanding more about what leadership qualities marketing leaders have. Data will be collected by means of in-depth interviews with marketing leaders, observations in the researcher's own business environment as well as job advertisements in newspapers and other sources stating what is expected of candidates and what type of candidates are required for the position. The respondents interviewed for the purposes of this study were from a diverse range of industries. An enlightening aspect was that most of their answers were more or less the same. This leads the Researcher to believe that these individuals have years of experience in leadership positions. This is reflected by the fact that the respondents have a good idea of what is required to be a good leader and that they apply it in their working environment. There are a set of basic leadership qualities that are the same for all the leaders/managers in an organisation. There are differences between various managers in an organisation and the leadership styles they apply and the function often determine the leadership qualities that are important. Each leader has different qualities and their personality also plays a great role in the leadership style they apply. What distinguishes marketing leaders is the fact that they should be more outward focussed, more creative and visionary than their counterparts. This requires from them to be sensory about their environment. They need to embrace change and be able to work with a diverse range of people. Marketing managers often have to deal with external media and unhappy clients, other managers are fairly isolated from this. Marketing managers have to brainstorm and come up with new ideas almost on a daily basis. They have to handle communication both internal and external to the organisation and have to work with all the departments on a daily basis. Surprisingly the best manager to lead an organisation would be a Marketing Manager. They are supposed to take the organisation forward. The way the industry and business in general is structured, almost paves the way for the Marketing function to start taking the lead in organisations. Focussed research is required to shed more light on this issue. It will lead to the generation of profiles for all managers in an organisation, specifically for marketing managers. This will assist organisations in the recruitment and selection of the ideal candidates. Organisations and the external business environment need to change their perception of the marketing function. Marketing is much more than promotions, events and "bells and whistles". It is a profit driven function, which has a big impact on the profitability and survival of an organisation. Therefore organisations should focus on the development of the skills and leadership qualities of their marketing managers.

Annotation:

Knowledge management (KM) has been cited as a strategic asset and a source of competitive advantage for organisations. While the issues of KM have been widely discussed by many researchers, there is a paucity of studies pertaining to the role of KM in enhancing organisational performance, especially in the banking sector. The focus of this research was to investigate the role of KM in enhancing organisational performance in selected banks of South Africa. The objective was to find out how knowledge was identified, captured, organised and retained in order to enhance performance of the banks. There is uncertainty about whether the use of KM could partly solve the banks‟ approaches to improving their quality of service to their communities in the modern information environment. Though KM has been implemented in commercial and business environments towards operational advantages and financial gains, KM survival principles and tools might help South African banks improve performance and fulfil their mandate. Knowledge, when properly managed, can significantly enhance an organisation‟s performance. The research design that was used in this study was an embedded case study design. Quantitative data were collected from a sample of middle level managers with the aid of a survey whilst interviews and document analysis were used to collect qualitative data. The findings of this study indicated that KM concepts were not universally understood at selected banks. The findings showed that collaboration between banks and the communities in creating a meaningful and relevant knowledge environment was essential for the survival of organisations. The banking industry practices were not deliberately based on KM but the study established that they were amenable to KM practices. The recommendation was to perform a knowledge inventory which could help develop appropriate institution-wide policies and practices for proper and well-organised methods of integrating work processes, collaborating and sharing (including the efficient use of knowledge technology platforms), and developing an enabling institutional culture.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of effective school leadership. The study was conducted in senior secondary schools in the southern region of Botswana. The southern region comprises of the south and south central regions which has twelve (12) senior secondary schools, out of which seven (07) schools were randomly sampled for the study. Both interviews and questionnaires were used as research tools. One hundred and eighty nine (189) questionnaires were distributed and only one hundred and four (104) were completed and returned. Eight interviews were conducted among school leaders. Results from the questionnaires were analyzed using frequencies, percentages and tables. Results from the interview were analyzed within a framework that was structured along the lines of the research questions. The study reveals that most of the teachers have a teaching qualification (PGDE), have adequate teaching experience, and are generally young (30-35 years). In terms of position of responsibility, most of them are clustered around senior teacher II (42.3%) and teacher/educator (36.5%). The study also reveals that schools performance is hampered largely by indiscipline and laziness towards schoolwork by both stakeholders. The school leaders must act as catalysts in creating a learning environment and be actively involved in implementing improvement strategies that help both students and teachers to enhance their learning and achievement (cf. 2. 16. 2).
