‘Archive’ is a totality of records, layers and memories that are collected. A city is the archive that consists of the conscious selection of these layers and traces of the past and the present, looking towards the future. Metaxourgio is an area in the wider historic urban area of Keramikos in Athens that includes traces of various eras, beginning in the Antiquity and continuing all the way into the 21st century. Its archaeological space ‘Demosion Sema’ is mostly concealed under the ground level, waiting to be revealed. In this proposal, Metaxourgio is redesigned in light of archiving. Significant traces of the Antiquity, other ruins and buildings are studied, selected and incorporated in the new interventions. The area becomes the ‘open archive’ that leads towards its lost identity. The proposal aims not only to intensify the relationship of architecture with archaeology, but also to imbue the area’s identity with meanings that refer to the past, present and future.

Our aim in this study was to determine the effect of organizational culture on the relationship between perception of leadership style and commitment to the organization by identifying firstly how Turkish doctors perceived the leadership behavior at private hospitals and then assessing the level of their organizational commitment. We developed and then tested a research model that incorporated leadership style, organizational commitment, and organizational culture. We distributed a survey to doctors working at four private hospitals in Turkey (N = 98). We found that doctors' perceptions of leadership behavior had a statistically significant, positive effect on their level of organizational commitment. We also found that organizational culture did not act as a moderator in this relationship.

The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study, based on the theoretical framework of transformational leadership, was to examine the relationships between leadership style, organizational culture, and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry. The study addressed a problem faced by U.S. healthcare leaders, who are currently unaware as to how transformational leadership and organizational culture can impact job satisfaction in an industry with high burnout and low satisfaction levels. The following research questions were posed: (1) Is there a statistically significant relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry? (2) Is there a statistically significant relationship between organizational culture and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry? (3) Is the relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction in the U.S. healthcare industry mediated by organizational culture? Data to answer the research questions were collected through simple random sampling processes that resulted in a sample of 111 American healthcare employees and analyzed with Stata software. The main finding of the study was that an apparent effect of transformational leadership on job satisfaction disappeared when organizational culture variables were taken into consideration. The results suggest that healthcare organizations should attempt to move away from externally focused cultures in order to increase job satisfaction. Such a move could improve social outcomes by improving the quality of work for millions of stressed American healthcare employees.

Introduction: Scholars consider leadership style as a powerful tool for improving school managers’ commitment on total quality management (TQM), yet few studies have empirically examined the linkages on organizational culture, leadership styles, and TQM in tertiary institutions. This study determined the mediating role of leadership style on organizational culture and TQM. Method: The researcher employed the descriptive correlational design to analyze the level of organizational culture, the extent of leadership style as mediating variable, the extent of TQM in education as perceived by the respondents, and the relationship between those variables among school managers. There were 295 school managers from 13 tertiary institutions in Asia who responded to the study. Result: The results of the study showed that the respondents have very high practices of organizational traits of involvement, adaptability, consistency, and mission with an indirect effect on leadership style. The extent of the respondents’ TQM is high on the following dimensions: a process-systems approach, customer-supplier focus, consistent quality leadership, continuous improvement and self-evaluation .The extent of leadership styles in both transformational and transactional as practiced by managers is high. However, the organizational culture had no direct effect on TQM. Thus, leadership style fully mediates organizational culture and TQM. Further, the school managers are committed to TQM in education regardless of age, civil status, educational attainment, and years of experience. As a contribution to the mediating mechanism, the emerging model showed that transformational and transactional being the components of leadership styles have loadings of .89 and .49, respectively. This means that the respondents’ leadership style practices have corresponding weights of 64.49% of transformational and 35.51% of transactional leadership style to fully mediate on the relationship between organizational culture and TQM. This research therefore, indicates the significance of the mediating role of leadership style on organizational culture and TQM in tertiary institutions. Discussion: The outcome of this study shall be utilized as basis for conducting seminar-workshops and training programs. The study will contribute to future research on other dimensions on OC, LS and moderating variables in relation to TQM.

Abstract As nursing becomes a first-level discipline, the central focus of the development process of nursing science is the independent exploration of the future path of nursing care. Although many countries have made efforts to develop nursing as an independent discipline, no remarkable advancement has been achieved due to the incorrect understanding of the relationship between nursing and medicine and the improper comprehension of other factors involved in the process of nursing reform. Teaching and practicing nursing also face many problems. Based on our understanding of the relationship between nursing and medicine and through a careful analysis of the existing problems in the current nursing discipline, this paper provides some insights into the future directions of nursing development by exploring the independently developing nursing discipline in foreign countries.
