Role Of Information

As the upsurge of information continues due to globalization of economies in the wake of fierce competition, the role of information technology becomes more important than ever. The dynamics of business arena requires leaders in the IT industry who are well versed with new technologies as well as at the same time exhibit essential leadership skills that builds trust to ensure success. This paper discusses an empirical research aimed at identifying the antecedents for authentic leadership style for the professional in the IT sector by examining empathy and mindfulness as potential antecedents to authentic leadership. The questionnaire was completed by 250 respondents from the Indian IT sector. Findings reveal that empathy of a leader is significantly related to the development of authentic leadership. However, mindfulness is not related to authentic leadership. The paper identifies empathy as a potential antecedent of authentic leadership that is intended to foster positive organizational outcomes. Intense literature review reflects that only few studies have been conducted focusing on the antecedents of authentic leadership. The study attempts to fill this void.

The upheavals in the current times are driving us toward a purposeful need for more effective and “genuine” leadership skills so as to enhance business sustainability. This chapter empirically investigates the concept of authentic leadership and considers the pathways to develop authentic leadership by exploring and examining empathy and mindfulness as predictors of authentic leadership. An intense literature review reflects that only a few studies have been conducted that focus on the antecedents of authentic leadership. The study attempts to fill this void. A questionnaire was completed by 250 respondents from the IT industry. Regression analysis was applied to study the inter-relationships among the variables. Findings reveal that while empathy of a leader is significantly related to the development of authentic leadership, mindfulness is not. Wider geographical selection and replication of the study in other industry is recommended. The chapter promotes development of OB interventions intended to foster the development of authentic leaders for positive organizational outcomes.

Role Of Information

The modern development of the world and Russian economies is inextricably linked with the growing role of information technology (IT). Currently, the transition to a digital economy has become a major trend in world economic development. This type of economy involves the intellectualization of all types of activities and the informatization of technological pro-cesses. One of the priorities of the country's development is the modernization of the econ-omy, which is impossible without the availability of qualified personnel to ensure the growth of labor productivity. The purpose of the article is to analyze the staffing of the IT industry at the federal and regional levels. The paper studies the theoretical aspects of staffing, analyz-es the trends in the main indicators characterizing the staffing of the IT industry at the fed-eral and regional levels (on example of the Vologda region), based on which the main prob-lems are identified

Role Of Information

The increasing importance of the information revolution and terms such as ‘speed’, ‘disorientation’, and ‘changing the concept of distance’, has provided us with tools that had not been previously available. Technological developments are moving toward Fluidity, which was previously unknown and cannot be understood through modern tools. With acceleration of the rhythm in the age we live in and the clarity of the role of information technology in our lives, as also the ease of access to information, has helped us to overcome many difficulties. Technology in all its forms has had a clear impact on all areas of daily life, and it has a clear impact on human thought in general, and the architectural space in particular, where the architecture moves from narrow spaces and is limited to new spaces known as the ‘breadth’, and forms of unlimited and stability to spaces characterized with fluidity. The research problem (the lack of clarity of knowledge about the impact of vast information flow associated with the technology of the age in the occurrence of liquidity in contemporary architectural space) is presented here. The research aims at defining fluidity and clarifying the effect of information technology on the changing characteristics of architectural space from solidity to fluidity. The research follows the analytical approach in tracking the concept of fluidity in physics and sociology to define this concept and then to explain the effect of Information Technology (IT) to achieve the fluidity of contemporary architectural space, leading to an analysis of the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) architectural model. The research concludes that information technology achieves fluidity through various tools (communication systems, computers, automation, and artificial intelligence). It has changed the characteristics of contemporary architectural space and made it behave like an organism, through using smart material.
