Willimon （2002）, where the author describes the ordained ministry as ＂a is a gift of God to the church＂ which usually does not mean that it is an easy task but rather, more complex and challenging as ministry leaders or pastors feel a call to transforming societies beyond their calling. In post-modern society, the pastors＇ role has differed and extended to form in line with creating a just and beloved community. In such communities, the pastor has more interaction with the community and the day to day activities of its neighbors or hosts. The purpose of this paper is to understand leadership and the role of the Ministry leader as a transformational leader, that goes beyond the role of being a servant leader.展开更多

Population of the study consisted of some public bodies, namely： General Investment Corporation, Kuwait Development Fund, Ministry of Planning, and Civil Service Department. There are 540 questionnaires distributed, 15 recovered, and 525 of the distributed questionnaires good for statistical analysis. Analysis of the data depended on descriptive statistical analysis, multi and simple regression. Following the hypotheses test by using the F-test, T-test, R2 coefficient and the One-Way variance analysis （ANOVA） test, the study reached the following results： There is a relation between leadership patterns and job creativity in the public institutions of the State of Kuwait. The relation is considered of medium strength, because r = 56.4% and this result matched the results of the previous studies that dealt with the same subject, which indicated that the leadership patterns affect the creative behavior in the organizations at different levels according to the prevalent pattern type. This enhances the logicality of the result, which means that the leadership patterns play a vital role in job creativity in various institutions. Results of the study showed that the democratic pattern is the most prevalent leadership pattern among managers, followed by the unrestrained pattern and finally the authoritarian pattern. Analysis results revealed that there is a weak relation between the authoritarian pattern and the job creativity in the public institutions of the State of Kuwait. The weakness of relation between the two variables can be interpreted in view of the fact that the increase of authoritarianism in leadership might give adverse results contrary to the expected and consequently, it is logical that the relation would be weak between the authoritative management approach and job creativity. There is a concern in providing work environment that encourages change in the public institutions of the State of Kuwait. Managers remarkably support the employees＇ efforts in performing the job. The study was concluded by the following recommendations： The effect of the leadership patterns on creative behavior was reached and therefore, the author recommended that it is necessary to choose well-qualified leadership that contributes to achieving excellence in the institutions operating in different sectors; to hold workshops, committees, seminars, and conferences in order to enhance confidence between management and employees; to concentrate on enhancing the democratic administrative pattern in the institutions due to its immense influence on the creative behavior of employees.展开更多

The increased competition has forced organizational leaders to engage in the understanding of the cultural limitations of organizations and their leadership practices. In addition, cross-cultural leadership researchers in 21st century are cognizant of the fact that culture is a condition, and a boundary to previous leadership theories and practices. Using Gerte Hofstede＇s cultural dimension model, culture and organizational leadership as they relate to the leadership practices of participants, and National and Family Cultures are examined in this revised paper.展开更多

Women in leadership value supports from their organizations. Pro-social outcomes of relationship competence are mediated by the development of empathy, collaborative approaches to conflict, self-disclosure, and social interest （Jogulu ＆ Wood, 2006）. Decision-making perspectives have uncertainty as the sole reason for organizational leaders to search for additional relevant information to solidify or clarify the information at the leader＇s disposal. A phenomenological qualitative research study which explored the preferred style of leadership based on three leadership and decision-making styles is presented in this paper1. The researcher gathered insights into the lived experiences of like-minded sample of respondents from the research population as they described their leadership and decisionmaking experiences within their organizations.展开更多

文摘Objectives:This study aimed to investigate the dual mediating roles of psychological safety and reporting attitudes in the association between ethics-centered leadership and internal whistleblowing among nurses.Methods:A multicenter,cross-sectional study design was employed,involving a convenience sample of 273 nurses among five university hospitals from August to October 2024.Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire,Ethical Leadership Scale,Psychological Safety Scale,Positive Attitudes Toward Whistleblowing Scale,and Internal Whistleblowing Scale.Pearson correlation and structural equation model were conducted to test the hypothesized dual mediation model.Results:The average score of nurses for ethical leadership was 4.14±0.57,psychological safety was 3.80±0.64,reporting attitudes was 4.12±0.67,internal whistleblowing was 3.93±0.52.Ethical leadership had a significant effect on psychological safety(β=0.38,P<0.001),reporting attitudes(β=0.44,P<0.001),and internal whistleblowing(β=0.21,P=0.009).Furthermore,psychological safety(β=0.26,P<0.001)and reporting attitudes(β=0.27,P<0.001)significantly influenced internal whistleblowing among the nurses.The indirect effect of ethics-centered leadership on internal whistleblowing intermediated by psychological safety was significant(β=0.10,P<0.001).Similarly,reporting attitudes demonstrated a significant mediating effect(β=0.12,P=0.003).Conclusions:Ethical leadership encourages internal whistleblowing among nurses by fostering psychological safety and positive reporting attitudes.Therefore,healthcare managers should prioritize ethical leadership development,enhance psychological safety,and foster constructive reporting attitudes that enable nurses to report ethical violations confidently,without apprehension.

文摘EARLIER this year,on April 3,when U.S.President Donald Trump unveiled his extraordinary raft of tariff measures to the world,Chinese President Xi Jinping was sending a different message to the international community–he was planting trees on the outskirts of Beijing.To get a sense of the depth of Xi Jinping’s commitment to environmental efforts,it is instructive to read his own words on the topic.The chapter on the building of a Beautiful China in the fifth volume of Xi Jinping:The Governance of China provides a helpful summary of China’s contemporary priorities in environmental governance.It contains excerpts of several speeches,most notably the speech Xi delivered at the National Conference on Eco-Environmental Protection on July 17,2023.
文摘Corporate environmental sustainability has become a critical concern,particularly in resource-intensive industries such as pharmaceuticals,where regulatory pressures and stakeholder expectations continue to rise.Despite increasing attention to green leadership,limited research has explored how environmentally responsible leadership(ERL)influences corporate environmental performance(CEP)through employee-driven sustainability behaviors.This study addresses this gap by examining the mediating roles of green knowledge-sharing behavior(GKSB),green innovative behavior(GIB),and voluntary green behavior(VGB),as well as the moderating role of green shared vision(GSV)in the ERL-CEP relationship.The study is grounded in Resource-Based View(RBV),Knowledge-Based View(KBV),Environmental-Based View(EBV),and Triple Bottom Line(TBL)theories,which collectively explain how leadership-driven sustainability efforts create long-term competitive advantages,drive environmental responsibility,and balance economic,social,and environmental sustainability.A quantitative research design was employed,using survey data from 384 employees in Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical sector.Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling(PLS-SEM)in Smart-PLS 4.0 to assess direct,indirect,and moderating effects.The results confirm that ERL has a significant positive impact on CEP,with GKSB,GIB,and VGB acting as mediators,while GSV strengthens the ERL-CEP relationship.This study provides novel empirical evidence on the mechanisms linking green leadership to corporate sustainability,extending the application of RBV,KBV,EBV,and TBL to leadership-driven environmental management.The findings emphasize the importance of leadership training programs,sustainability-focused organizational cultures,and shared environmental visions.Policymakers should consider incentives for companies adopting ERL practices,ensuring that sustainability becomes a strategic,rather than compliance-driven,priority.This study contributes to leadership and sustainability literature by offering a comprehensive framework for integrating ERL into corporate governance and environmental strategies.
文摘Women in leadership and decision-making roles influence the policies and directions of organizations （Ahuja, 2002）. Women in leadership value supports from their organizations. Pro-social outcomes of relationship competence are mediated by the development of empathy, collaborative approaches to conflict, self-disclosure, and social interest （Jogulu ＆ Wood, 2006）. Decision-making perspectives have uncertainty as the sole reason for organizational leaders to search for additional relevant information to solidify or clarify the information at the leader＇s disposal. A phenomenological qualitative research study which explored the preferred style of leadership based on three leadership and decision-making styles is presented in this paper1. The researcher gathered insights into the lived experiences of like-minded sample of respondents from the research population as they described their leadership and decisionmaking experiences within their organizations.
