The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the training program in developing planning skill among Art Education teachers, determine the effectiveness of the training program in developing the implementation skill among Art Education teachers, determine the effectiveness of the training program in developing the assessment skill among Art Education teachers, and determine the effectiveness of the training program in developing the teaching skills among Art Education teachers. The problem of the study was identified the in the following main question: What is the effectiveness of the training program in light of the school accreditation standards in the development of teaching skills of Art Education teachers? And to answer the question, four hypotheses were formulated for the study. The hypotheses were tested by using the quasi-experimental approach to study the impact of the independent variable (training program in light of the school accreditation standards) against the dependent variable (Art Education teaching skills of Al-Baha Province teachers). The tools of the study were summative assessment and the training program, and after collecting the data processed by the arithmetic means (averages) and standard deviations, test (t), square (ETA), Black equation for rate uncovering, the sample of the study was randomly selected from the Art Education teachers in Al-Baha Province, consisted of (30) teachers (25%) of the total school community (120) teachers. The findings of this study showed statistically significant differences at the level of planning skill among Art Education teachers, for post-test, it showed statistically significant differences at the level of the implementation skill among Art Education teachers, for post-test, it showed statistically significant differences at the level of assessment skill among Art Education teachers, for post-test, it showed statistically significant differences in the overall grades for all teaching skills among Art Education teachers, parameters for post -test.

Servant leadership and perceived employability: proactive career behaviours as mediators

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of servant leadership on perceived employability and examine the mediating role of three proactive career behaviours, namely, career planning, skill development and networking behaviour in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach Data for this study were collected from 176 employees who were working in a large food and beverage company operating in Pakistan. Structural equation modelling and the bootstrapping procedure were used to test the research hypotheses. Findings Results showed that servant leadership was positively related to career planning, skill development and networking behaviour, which, in turn, were positively associated with perceived employability. Furthermore, it was found that the three proactive career behaviours fully mediated the effects of servant leadership on perceived employability. Practical implications The findings of this study indicate that servant leadership can play a key role in enhancing workers’ employability. Thus, it is important that organisations focus on creating conditions, which help them to develop servant leaders. Originality/value This is the first study, which has empirically established a link between servant leadership and perceived employability. In addition, it uncovers three distinct mechanisms in the form of career planning, networking behaviour and skill development through which servant leadership can influence workers’ employability.
