Leadership Influence

Specialized approaches to school leadership have shown the school manager’s multifunctional role, which is also connected to the performance of the school. In the last decade, this discussion has reinforced the urgency for inclusive and transformative leadership from key individuals of the school community to promote that performance. There is evidence that the empowered behavior of the manager serves as an instrument to boost leadership skills. This article endeavoured to produce relevant information about the influence of the manager's multifunctional leadership on the performance of the school, mediated by the manager’s empowerment with actions that promote educational quality. This article focused on three aspects of this relationship: (a) the construction of a manager’s multifunctional leadership structure; (b) the identification of indicators to operationalize the manager's empowerment; and (c) a test of structural relationships between the leadership and the performance of the school. Considering the limitations of the study, the results confirmed a multifunctional structure of the manager's leadership to meet the school's multiple demands, as well as the relevance of the mediating role of the manager’s empowerment to the effectiveness of his leadership influence on the school performance.

The school lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic pushed teachers to online teaching literally overnight, which put their performance at risk. Transformational school leadership (TSL), teacher self-efficacy (TSE) and digital competencies might have played a protective role in such burdening conditions. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the mediating role of TSE in explaining the relationship between TSL and instructional quality. Additionally, the moderating role of digital competencies in explaining the interrelations between TSL and TSE as well as between TSE and instructional quality, or the proposed mediating mechanism, was tested. The study was conducted via online survey in Spring 2020 and involved 1655 Croatian teachers. The mediation and moderated mediation analyses revealed that TSL was positively related to instructional quality both directly and indirectly via TSE. Teacher digital competencies did not moderate the proposed relationships or the mediating mechanism.

The roles of Conscientiousness and Imagination in explaining sex differences in school performance were examined in two Flemish samples of school children using parental and teacher ratings of school performance (N = 599) and school grades (N = 448). Both personality domains predicted parental ratings of school performance and grades. In one sample, girls received slightly higher parental ratings of language achievement and overall performance ratings by teachers. However, controlling for Conscientiousness and Imagination facets, boys scored slightly higher for math and history. In this sample, lower externalising behaviour partially mediated the relation between Conscientiousness facets and school performance in girls but not in boys, but this pattern was not replicated in the second sample. We concluded that sex differences in school performance were small and many could be accounted for by personality traits. In some cases, however, personality traits acted to amplify sex differences in school performance. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Empathic Leadership

Emotionally fragile organizations like schools require human elements to be treated with utmost care. Most schools in India are managed by a strictly hierarchical organizational structure with the head of the school at the top. In such organizational structures, the head decides the design, nature, and direction of the various school processes. It is within this context that this study explores the two important dimensions of leadership and empathy in conjunction with each other. While the capability to feel and share the feelings of others has been regarded as an essential leadership quality, school leadership brings forth a unique and potent dimension to the concept of empathic leadership. This study explores the role of empathic school leadership in motivating students. A random sample of 297 students was administered a questionnaire. The results were analysed and a model with empathic–leadership as a mediator for student motivation was developed and validated using path analysis. Further, the instrument used was validated with confirmatory factor analysis for use as a tool to measure empathy-driven leadership in Indian schools. This instrument might help in introducing the concept of leadership–empathy audit in Indian schools.

Whistleblowing Intention

We investigated the relationship between ethical leadership and employees' whistleblowing intention, along with the mediating role of moral identity and the moderating role of power distance orientation. We conducted a 2-wave survey with 172 participant managers in China. Results indicated that ethical leadership was positively related to employees' whistleblowing intention and this relationship was mediated by moral identity. Moreover, employee power distance orientation positively moderated the relationship between ethical leadership and moral identity, such that the relationship was stronger for high power distance orientation employees than for those with a low power distance orientation. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.
