Female leaders have been around since ancient Indonesia. However, fewer women become leaders than men. Female leadership is considered successful when it follows male standards. The purpose of this research is to reveal the experience of women's leadership in the Osing Banyuwangi indigenous community. This research employs qualitative research with a feminist ethnographic approach. The findings of this study show that there are three female village heads in the Osing indigenous community, namely Kemiren village, Rejosari village, and Kampunganyar village. All three women have the capital they need to be elected and lead the community. The capital they owned both in the quality and quantity of the relationship network they transform and are in the form of economic capital, cultural capital, and social capital. In conclusion, this social capital is owned by the female leader herself and is not an extension of the power of the other party. These capitals make them able to face challenges typically attributed to women's leadership namely negative stereotypes and double burdens.

Relational Behaviors

We examined differences in trust for men and women leaders who adopt relational behaviors during an organizational crisis. We addressed two important shortcomings of previous research. First, we independently manipulated leader gender and leader relational behaviors (interpersonal emotion management) to identify their separate and interacting influences on trust outcomes, which may lead to a leadership advantage for women. Second, we examined how uncertainty about crisis outcomes affects the strength of this advantage. We operationalized trust as both evaluative and behavioral (investment in a company led by the leader). We found support from two experiments with women and men ( N = 412 and N = 400) for the idea of a female leadership trust advantage in times of crisis. And we showed that the advantage is uniquely attributable to female leaders’ use of relational behaviors and is manifested only when crisis consequences are known. We observed these effects for both evaluative trust (Studies 1 and 2) and behavioral trust (Study 2). We invite more research on the conditions that contribute to the female leadership advantage, the gendered nature of leadership behaviors during organizational crises, and the relational leadership qualities that help restore trust in organizations during uncertain times.

The Relationship

In sustainable development projects, as well as other types of projects, knowledge transfer is important for the organisations managing the project. Nevertheless, knowledge transfer among employees does not happen automatically and it has been found that the lack of social networks and the lack of trust among employees are the major barriers to effective knowledge transfer. Social network analysis has been recognised as a very important tool for improving knowledge transfer in the project environment. Transfer of knowledge is more effective where it depends heavily on social networks and informal dialogue. Based on the theory of social capital, social capital consists of two parts: conduits network and resource exchange network. This research studies the relationships among performance, the resource exchange network (such as the knowledge network) and the relationship network (such as strong ties network, energy network, and trust network) at the individual and project levels. The aim of this chapter is to present an approach to overcoming the lack of social networks and lack of trust to improve knowledge transfer within project-based organisations. This is to be done by identifying the optimum structure of relationship networks and knowledge networks within small and medium projects. The optimal structure of the relationship networks and knowledge networks is measured using two dimensions: intra-project and inter-project. This chapter also outlines an extensive literature review in the areas of social capital, knowledge management and project management, and presents the conceptual model of the research approach.

This paper was made with the aim to find out how women's leadership in Islamic boarding schools organizations, and acceptance of them. In general, the founding of a boarding school has never been found where the caregivers are primarily women, even though they have more scientific capacity. Some Islamic boarding schools are cared for by women as limited successors. Islamic boarding schools are Islamic education institutions, the social construction of women in Islamic boarding schools is inseparable from the Islamic view of women. Not a few Islamic boarding schools whose daughter's activities are more advanced. Not a few managers of Islamic boarding schools where female carers' abilities are better. This paper is a descriptive analytical study of the phenomenon of women's leadership in Islamic boarding schools, with qualitative field studies. The results showed that women's leadership in Islamic boarding schools had the same chance of success, there were no substantive obstacles, because technically it could be covered by the Board of Directors, but female leaders in Islamic boarding schools were perceived as temporary and merely successors. The characteristics of women's leadership have a lot of relevance to the style of pesantren traditionalism, which is authoritative charismatic. The benefits of female leadership in Islamic boarding schools are to counter the Islamic stereotypical ideas about women.

Female President

While the percentage of female heads of state in the world has increased to around 10 percent in the 2010s, a female president or prime minister still remains an exception. Recent scholarship has proposed a number of explanations behind this phenomenon, but there exist important gaps. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, we use new and comprehensive data to undertake a systematic examination of the differences in the personal, education, and career backgrounds between female and male effective political leaders from 1960 to 2010. We find that female leaders are as qualified as men. Second, because the phenomenon of female leadership is still a rare occurrence, we argue that this fact must be accounted for in empirical modeling. Third, we show that many female leaders tend to acquire the necessary resources, support, and name recognition through political dynasties. To that end, women leaders need to rely on family ties more than men do. However, the importance of such connections attenuates when female suffrage has been in place for longer, and citizens are more open to women in politics.

Comprehensive Framework

Social influence is distributed unequally between males and females in many mammalian societies. In human societies, gender inequality is particularly evident in access to leadership positions. Understanding why women historically and cross-culturally have tended to be under-represented as leaders within human groups and organizations represents a paradox because we lack evidence that women leaders consistently perform worse than men. We also know that women exercise overt influence in collective group-decisions within small-scale human societies, and that female leadership is pervasive in particular contexts across non-human mammalian societies. Here, we offer a transdisciplinary perspective on this female leadership paradox. Synthesis of social science and biological literatures suggests that females and males, on average, differ in why and how they compete for access to political leadership in mixed-gender groups. These differences are influenced by sexual selection and are moderated by socioecological variation across development and, particularly in human societies, by culturally transmitted norms and institutions. The interplay of these forces contributes to the emergence of female leaders within and across species. Furthermore, females may regularly exercise influence on group decisions in less conspicuous ways and different domains than males, and these underappreciated forms of leadership require more study. We offer a comprehensive framework for studying inequality between females and males in access to leadership positions, and we discuss the implications of this approach for understanding the female leadership paradox and for redressing gender inequality in leadership in humans.

Ancient Manuscript

Women leaders as one form of emancipation, apparently already existed from the past. It can be found in ancient manuscripts. Ancient manuscripts can be our bridge in communicating with the past. Through the ancient manuscript we can know how life in the past happened. Therefore, ancient manuscripts should be kept and cared for, and preserved their contents in order to be a contribution of insight today. The values contained in the ancient manuscript are varied, one of which is the value of leadership. The value of female leadership is found in Hikayat Pandu and the manuscript of Dewi Maleka that will be the corpus of this study. The value of leadership or the image of leadership that serves as the basis of classification is Astabrata teaching. The aim of this research is to compare the leadership image of the female leaders from the Hikayat Pandu, the goddess Lara Amis and the female leaders of the goddess Malacca script. The method of research used is the comparative literary method. This research resulted in a comparison of leadership imagery between female leader figures derived from the Malay version (Hikayat Pandu) and Javanese version (Dewi Maleka) script. It can therefore be concluded that there are similarities and differences in the image of female leadership between Dewi Lara Amis and Dewi Melaka. Research into the comparison of leadership imagery, especially on female leaders has not been done in Hikayat Pandu and the manuscript goddess Maleka. Thus, this study presents a new discussion that can be an additional knowledge for readers.  --- Pemimpin wanita sebagai salah satu bentuk emansipasi, ternyata sudah ada dari masa lalu. Hal tersebut dapat ditemukan dalam naskah kuno. Naskah kuno dapat menjadi jembatan kita dalam berkomunikasi dengan masa lalu. Melalui naskah kuno tersebut kita dapat mengetahui bagaimana kehidupan di masa lalu itu terjadi. Oleh karena itu, naskah kuno sudah seharusnya dijaga dan dirawat, serta dilestarikan isinya supaya dapat menjadi sumbangan wawasan di zaman sekarang. Nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam naskah kuno beraneka ragam, salah satunya ialah nilai kepemimpinan. Nilai kepemimpinan wanita ditemukan pada naskah Hikayat Pandu dan naskah Dewi Maleka yang akan menjadi korpus pada penelitian ini. Nilai kepemimpinan atau citra kepemimpinan yang dijadikan landasan sebagai dasar klasifikasi yaitu ajaran astabrata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan perbandingan citra kepemimpinan dari tokoh pemimpin wanita dari naskah Hikayat Pandu yaitu tokoh Dewi Rara Amis dan pemimpin wanita dari naskah Dewi Maleka yaitu tokoh Dewi Maleka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah metode deskriptif analisis dan teori yang digunakan ialah teori sastra bandingan. Penelitian ini menghasilkan perbandingan citra kepemimpinan antara tokoh pemimpin wanita yang berasal dari naskah versi Melayu (Hikayat Pandu) dan naskah versi Jawa (Dewi Maleka). Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat persamaan dan perbedaan citra kepemimpinan wanita antara Dewi Rara Amis dan Dewi Maleka. Persamaan dan perbedaannya, yaitu Dewi Maleka memiliki delapan klasifikasi dalam astabrata, sedangkan Dewi Rara Amis hanya memiliki lima klasifikasi dalam astabrata antara lain ambeging surya, ambeging rembulan, ambeging angin, ambeging banyu, dan ambeging bumi.

Some countries have been more successful than others at dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. When we explore the different policy approaches adopted as well as the underlying socio-economic factors, we note an interesting set of correlations: countries led by women leaders have fared significantly better than those led by men on a wide range of dimensions concerning the global health crisis. In this paper, we analyze available data for 35 countries, focusing on the following variables: number of deaths per capita due to COVID-19, number of days with reported deaths, peaks in daily deaths, deaths occurred on the first day of lockdown, and excess mortality. Results show that countries governed by female leaders experienced much fewer COVID-19 deaths per capita and were more effective and rapid at flattening the epidemic's curve, with lower peaks in daily deaths. We argue that there are both contingent and structural reasons that may explain these stark differences. First of all, most women-led governments were more prompt at introducing restrictive measures in the initial phase of the epidemic, prioritizing public health over economic concerns, and more successful at eliciting collaboration from the population. Secondly, most countries led by women are also those with a stronger focus on social equality, human needs and generosity. These societies are more receptive to political agendas that place social and environmental wellbeing at the core of national policymaking.
