This paper presents a review of the literature on principal instructional leadership in Singapore. The authors investigated the dimensions of instructional leadership in the practices of Singapore principals and highlighted the strategies these leaders adopt to enact their instructional roles. Singapore principals were found to play an active role in defining the school vision and promoting the school climate. However, in the areas of curriculum implementation and classroom instruction, the middle management team in the school played more active roles as compared to principals. Five broad conclusions were discussed to provide perspectives on instructional leadership practices in Singapore. This paper also highlighted limitations on current instructional leadership research in Singapore and pointed to areas of future research.  相似文献   

Bridging theory and practice: a conceptual framework for consulting organisations     

Meca B. Mohammed  Leslie Hazle Bussey 《School Leadership & Management》2015,35(1):97-120

A growing number of organisations are emerging as partners to districts pursuing systemic improvement. Given the critical role a consulting organisation could play in supporting system reform efforts, how does a district leader looking to establish a consulting partnership determine what characteristics in a consulting organisation may be more likely to yield success? This paper utilises an exploratory sequential mixed methods approach for two purposes: (1) to assess whether the quality domains of consultants most prevalent in the literature are consistent with multiple sources of expert knowledge at the point of practice and (2) to determine which, if any, quality domains of consultants are perceived as more important than others for partnership success. Overall, the findings corroborated that the domains identified through the literature are influential to partnership success. While no specific domain or set of domains emerged as most dominant, interpersonal skills and content expertise are foundational indicators that crosscut the other domains.  相似文献   

Incorporating a transformational learning perspective in action learning sets     

Pamela Ajoku 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2015,12(1):3-21

A field study focused on learning capabilities within action learning sets was used to evaluate potential opportunities between action learning and transformational learning. The use of action learning as a methodology for the acquisition, sharing and transfer of information while integrating an added perspective for transformational learning within the action learning set was investigated. There could be occurrences of transformation within action learning and critical action learning sets. However, there could be the added possibility of using action learning as a potential vehicle for an enhanced or more specific focus on transformational learning. It is useful to explore this potential, especially when there is an increased awareness regarding associations between action learning and transformational learning. Within such learning environments, there could also be the increased potential for outcomes that transform an individual, group or organization. The use of transformational elements based on discussions and resulting themes that occur within action learning sessions are discussed with the aim of encouraging personal development, enhancing skills and engaging in adult learning that could lead to organizational development. Recommendations for these environments are also presented.  相似文献   

Leaders learning from leaders as an emergent action learning strategy     

Carol A. Mullen  Mariela A. Rodríguez  Tawannah G. Allen 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2015,12(3):344-355

This account of practice describes what three executive leaders in a professional association have learned about action learning and their own practices of organizational renewal. Data are approached narratively and stories are told from the perspectives of diverse educators’ experiences, agency, and expertise. Mature organizations can be revitalized and diversified through the action learning of executive leaders who integrate a new and diverse faculty body into the governance structure and decision-making process. The goal of facilitating diversity goals for established organizations has relevance for universities, schools, businesses, and other learning environments. Public conversations can strengthen the diversity-oriented outreach missions of professional organizations.  相似文献

变革型领导对团队创造力的影响机制研究:团队反思与团队边界管理的中介作用     

徐兵  石冠峰 《科技管理研究》2014,(18)

团队创造力已成为新经济条件下企业获取竞争优势的根源。尽管已有研究发现变革型领导对团队创造力具有促进作用,但其中的具体作用机制并未得到充分诠释。基于文献研究和实际调研,构建包含变革型领导、团队反思、团队边界管理及团队创造力相关关系的理论模型。通过对30家高新技术企业的128个知识型团队的问卷调查研究,结果表明:变革型领导对团队创造力有积极影响;团队反思、团队边界管理在变革型领导与团队创造力之间具有部分中介作用;团队反思对团队边界管理有正向促进作用。因此,为提高团队创造力,领导不但要塑造自身的变革型领导风格,而且应实施团队边界管理,促进团队反思。  相似文献

变革型领导与工作满意度的中介机制研究     

赵岳  黄晓帆 《情报科研学报》2014,(1):46-50

较多研究验证了变革型领导对工作满意度的影响,但二者之间的中介作用机制研究还较为缺乏。通过对一家企业223位基层经理的调查,应用因子分析、回归分析和结构方程模型分析方法对数据进行了检验,结果显示：变革型领导与工作满意度显著正相关,情绪智力在变革型领导与工作满意度的关系中起中介作用。建议企业高层应该努力培养基层管理者的变革型领导风格,并且对其情绪管理要给予更多的关注,进而提高他们的工作满意度。  相似文献   

双元、悖论式领导对绩效的影响     

尹奎支前闯  代向阳李培凯 钱婧 《科研管理》2022,43(8):165-173

   组织发展面临的张力越来越普遍,双元领导、悖论式领导日益引起理论界关注。然而双元领导、悖论式领导与创新绩效、任务绩效之间的关系如何？两种领导行为对两种绩效的影响是否存在差异？两种领导行为对创新绩效的影响是否会受到领导者层级的影响？上述问题亟待解答。对50项研究共13 232个样本进行元分析,分析结果发现：双元领导、悖论式领导分别对创新绩效、任务绩效有正向影响;双元领导、悖论式领导对创新绩效、任务绩效的影响不存在显著差异;双元领导、悖论式领导对创新绩效的影响不受领导者层级的调节作用。研究证实了两种相近领导行为影响不存在差异,为未来研究中的变量选择提供了依据,对实践中不同层级领导力开发提供了启示。  相似文献
