ABSTRACT Purpose: On the assumption that leadership is a social construction driven by interests, this article presents the results of an empirical research designed with the purpose of investigating the concept of leadership. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: The originality is the use of empirical procedures inspired by the work of an author often quoted in studies of theoretical and essayistic nature, but whose work in empirical research is little known among us. Key methodological aspects: The methodological procedures were chosen inspired by those used by T. W. Adorno in F scale production, which was oriented to identify contradictions, opposing views and unusual aspects not usually found in general literature on this subject. Summary of key results: It was identified that the exercise of leadership is motivated by interests - not those of one class against another, but those within the same social class - which are presented from different points of view, depending on whether the individual is or is not playing this role; there is a tendency to hide the relationship between the leadership and the exercise of power, and also that leaders that were in activity tend to hide the interests related to the exercise of this social role (such as the financial ones), as well as trying to characterize leadership as something extraordinary - characterization not recognized by many of the individuals who were no longer playing that role; and finally, that interests may be also related to the opportunity to offer training programs for the development of "leadership skills". Key considerations/conclusions: The results allow a deconstruction of some of the speeches involving aspects usually presented as characterizing this construct and suggests new research ways to seek the understanding of this object.

The Relationship

Successful hiring, training, and pairing or grouping of staff requires administrators to consider the relationship between their programs' goals and the specific outdoor leadership skills of individual leaders. Authors have divided outdoor leadership skills into a three-category structure, and models of outdoor leadership have focused on skills from the perspective of the individual outdoor leader. In contrast, this paper proposes a model of outdoor leadership that addresses the perspective of the program. In addition to considering the language and structure of outdoor leadership skill categories, this synthesis of literature results in the suggestion of alternate and consistent terminology for outdoor leadership skill categories and presents a model that can be used to guide hiring, training, and staffing decisions.

Purpose – the purpose of this article is to investigate the relationship between youth entrepreneurship and emigration attitudes by presenting a method for evaluating the link between youth participation in entrepreneurship promotion initiatives, entrepreneurship and emigration attitudes, and also to check its validity. Research methodology – the quantitative test method presented in the article consists of 3 key parts that have their own specifics of evaluation and different methodologies. Findings – the results of the study did not show the correlation between the analyzed elements. Research limitations – although a method test made it possible to verify its suitability, a more representative sample of respondents is needed to provide valid results about the correlation of above mentioned 3 elements. Practical implications – based on the methodology evaluated, everyone familiar with the material will be able to initiate surveys and/or scientifically based researches at a different territorial level on youth entrepreneurship and emigration intentions and to evaluate the extent of the youth involvement in entrepreneurship promotion initiatives and its relationship with the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual. Originality/Value – this study contributed to the existing research on entrepreneurship, supplementing it with new insights on the existence of a relation between entrepreneurship promotion, entrepreneurship, and the tendency to emigrate, which, as far as the authors are aware, was researched neither in Lithuania nor globally

Organizational Literature

The concept of trust within organizations, or intraorganizational trust, has been considered as a potential mechanism to increase performance and as such has attracted growing interest in the organizational literature. However, despite the increasing number of studies examining the relationship between intraorganizational trust and performance, this apparently positive link has not been consistently confirmed by empirical research, and a deeper understanding is called for. Moreover, the literature on the trust–performance link is highly fragmented and dispersed. This study carries out a systematic review of the evidence, focusing on the vertical dimension of intraorganizational trust and performance relationship in an attempt to provide an integrative picture of the existing literature and to propose new research avenues on the topic. Specifically, this systematic review delves deeper into the antecedents, mediating effects, and moderators of vertical intraorganizational trust and performance, providing a more comprehensive framework for these relationships.

Critical Process

Organisational socialisation (OS) is a critical process that all employees experience and the efficiency and effectiveness of the OS process impacts on the individual 's ability to adjust and perform, as well as the organisation's capacity to obtain employee commitment and retain staff. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the OS literature that examines the links between the OS process and important individual and organisational outcomes, in order to identify opportunities for further empirical research in this area. From a review of the literature undertaken, it was found that despite the strong arguments supporting the significance of OS and its links to important individual and organisational outcomes, important knowledge 'gaps’ exist in the OS literature. These include knowledge on the relationship between pre-encounter and encounter socialisation, the role of individual differences in newcomer adjustment, and the differences in OS approaches between small and large firms. The review of the literature also found significant methodological weaknesses in the literature. For instance, little research has examined OS from an employer and employee perspective. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research in order to stimulate study into particular aspects of OS.

<p>The article is devoted to the methodology of formation of the ecologically interpreted outlook, different kinds of which determine the formation and resolution of environmental problems. The author makes an attempt to develop methodological tools to research the ecological components of social outlook and the concept of highly ecological, holistic worldview (the worldview of ecocentrism), as opposed to the atomic technocratic worldview of anthropocentrism, which fundamentally denies nature. As a major methodological tool of constructing this methodology, the principle of ecological holism was selected, where holism is interpreted as complex (in the absence of organization in the system) or systemic, and where ecological holism is interpreted as environmentalism, involving completeness and integrity of views on the relationship between society and nature. The article puts forward the idea that environmentalism is a variant of holism.</p><p>The novelty and the heuristic of the author's approach is in the attempt to explicate the component of the ecological worldview as an environmental outlook represented in the form of varieties of the not-ecological worldview and the worldview of ecocentrism, which is truly holistic. The significance of the results lies in the attempt to identify and explain the origins of environmental problems in the individual psyche, generalized opinions of people on their relationship with nature, in the consciousness of society, and in pointing out the conditions, means, ways of formation and implementation of corresponding to the nature worldview as a guarantor of the settlement of these problems.</p><p>A philosophical representation of the concept of environmental philosophy and methodology of his study is a contribution to the further development of the new ideological paradigm and the subject of the new environmental philosophy. It is highly necessary to develop and introduce the research methodology of the ecologically oriented worldview phenomenon into philosophical issues for the formation of environmental values and for resolving the global ecocrisis.</p>

In order to understand the inherent complexities and the underlying constructs of managing IT outsourcing relationships and the performance of these relationships, empirical research was conducted. The empirical research in terms of an exploratory case study had the following guiding research questions: 1) How do client and vendor organizations manage their IT outsourcing relationship? 2) How do different stakeholders influence, or get influenced by, the IT outsourcing relationship? In this research context, the unit of analysis was both the relationship (question 1) and the individual stakeholders (question 2). As our goal was to explore managerial and individual issues, rather than analytical generalization, no research propositions or hypotheses were developed in advance of the empirical study. First in this chapter, we present the methodology applied in the case study process. Next, we present three internationally based IT outsourcing relationships that were studied (Solli-Sæther, 2006). In the following section, data collected are put into cross-case issues of managing IT outsourcing relationships. Finally, we use the theoretical framework developed in Chapter 2 for evaluating different aspects of the cases studied.

Purpose: This paper aims to present an examination named as individual factors that affect the execution of the strategic plan for Libyan technical education institutions. The study has managed to accomplish the purpose of the research by implementing a quantitative methodology (descriptive empirical approach) and the questionnaires were used as a data collection tool. The model consists of two independent variables, one mediator and one dependent variable. The independent variables consist of material and non-material rewards while mediator is individual factors and the dependent variable comprise quality of strategic planning. Design/methodology/approach: The research analysis structure comprises of three exogenous variables: one mediator variable as ME and one endogenous variable. The exogenous variables comprise of human performance, individual productivity and leadership aptitudes, and the incentive system representing a reward system as an endogenous mediator. These named variables comprise the parameters that will take part of the implementing of the strategic quality plan. The total population of random samples of (290 individuals) with the role as senior department managers, middle department managers and directors of lower (executive) divisions were classified and specified. The statistical programs that were applied are (SPSS as well as SMART PLS) for the evaluations and scrutiny determinations. Findings: The findings have shown that material and non-material rewards have a significant and positive effect on the quality of Strategic Planning by institutions of technical education in Libya. This study obtained evidence throughout its course work that the individual competency, individual effectiveness and leadership skills had direct effect on Implementing the Strategic quality Plane. Furthermore, Individual competency and leadership skills had direct effects on reward system but Individual Effectiveness has no direct effect on Implementing the Strategic quality Plan. Furthermore, the results of the study reveal that material individual factors (individual competency, individual effectiveness, self-motivation) have a mediating influence on the relationship between material and non-material rewards and the quality of strategic planning. The findings similarly have shown that non-material rewards and individual factors have a significant and positive influence on the quality of strategic planning. Nevertheless, material rewards scheme has no directly significant effect on the quality of strategic planning (QSP). Practical implications: The results indicated that reward system has partial mediation on the relationship between competency, individual effectiveness and leadership skills and strategic quality plan implementation. The study will contribute to enhancing body of knowledge by proposing a research model for institutions of technical education, especially in Tripoli within Libya in general. Consequently, at the end of this study, we hope that the results will provide a way to stand as the basis for further research in this area or specifically on the subject. Originality/value: The paper has established its own originality and novelty analyzing the data statistically. This analysis has revealed that the reward system has managed to mediate successfully the relationship between the individual factors affecting the implementation of the quality strategic plan (individual competence, individual effectiveness and leadership skills).

This article attempts to answer the question why is it worth to exhibit the category of agency in the legal practice. Answering the question I started my discussion from the presentation ideas related to the issue of the social role of the lawyers. In the completion of this objective, I discussed three ideas: moral responsibility, trust and subjective agency. Putting forward the role of the lawyer, I paid attention to the relationship between the notion of trust in the lawyer’s role and moral responsibility. This relationship is based on an ethical link, which is founded on a kind of obligation. This idea can be demonstrated by looking into confidence in the lawyer’s role as a special form of obligation to consider individual, institutional and social arguments. In the presented approach the state of limbo between the individual dimension, which focuses on the relationship between a specific individual and their rights, and the public dimension, where attention is paid to institutional and social arguments, is a characteristic feature of the professional role of a lawyer. The shaping of a professional role in a subjective and structural authorship is based on the idea of a two-way movement. It consists in highlighting the institutional structure with simultaneous reinforcement of the role of the subject who acts within it.
