Get PDFPublic sector organizations today must confront a steady stream of challenges, push against the status quo, and to be creative in capturing opportunities to effectively serve the public. Emerging economies’ public sector organizations have been slow to adopt change or innovate. Using the UAE as a case study, this study provides valuable insights into the relationship between innovation-driven leadership and innovation in public-sector organizations in emerging economies. Utilizing qualitative data from sixteen government and semi-government organizations’ leaders, the results indicate that innovation-driven leadership is essential in developing a culture of innovation and transformational leadership style is the more effective leadership style
Leading Remote Organizations Strategies for Managing Effective Knowledge Sharing Within Teams
Get PDFRemote teams have become an integral part of the operations of global organizations in an increasingly digital era. The complexities of knowledge sharing and management within teams were explored. A focus was placed on the leadership practices that influenced complexities. Using qualitative insights from participants, the importance of transformational leadership in fostering a culture of open communication, trust, and collaboration in remote settings was emphasized in the study. The findings indicated that hat leaders who showed transformational traits such as charisma, authenticity, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration enhanced knowledge-sharing within their teams. Leaders’ practices promoted knowledge sharing and positively impacted team productivity, job satisfaction, and retention. In remote work, transformational leadership was pivotal in ensuring effective knowledge management, underscoring its importance for contemporary organizations aiming for growth and innovation in a digital landscape
An Examination of the Association of Work Experience to Ethical Attitudes and Machiavellianism of Accounting Students
Get PDFBusiness ethics can have high implications for the accounting profession, stakeholders who rely on financial reporting, and entities concerned about business reputation. Professional ethics are required of members by all major accounting organizations. Accounting students learn about business ethics in accounting through their accounting studies, yet unethical practices have persisted in recent decades, often by leaders and managers with accounting foundations. This study examined work experience and other factors that could affect attitudes toward business ethics of accounting students. A survey questionnaire was used to assess ethical attitudes using various statistical techniques to explore significant differences among accounting students who were grouped according to their length of work experience and other factors. Students with a few years of work experience were found to have a more relaxed attitude towards business ethics than students with longer work experience
Disentangling Administration Errors From Scale Development Errors in Survey Research
Get PDFIn a recent manuscript, Friesner, et al. (2023) used the concept of information entropy to assess the quantity of information in survey responses. They demonstrate how assessments of the quantity of information can be used to identify possible errors in a survey’s administration. A major limitation of their methodology is that it assumes the survey items used to elicit consumer preferences were created appropriately and contained a meaningful quantity of information. The current study addresses this limitation by incorporating a methodology developed by Friesner et al. (2021) into the Friesner et al. (2023) methodology. The combined methodology is applied to the same data studied in both Friesner et al. (2021) and Friesner et al. (2023), which allows for a direct comparison of the quantity of information gained/lost from survey administration versus scale development. The results indicate that the survey used in the empirical application exhibits flaws in both scale design and survey administration
Examining Loyalty and Situational Value in Green Retail and Service Establishments
Get PDFThis research sheds light on how loyalty and situational value can enhance consumers ’ willingness to pay a higher price (WTPHP) for green products. While loyalty is a function of the individual characteristics of a certain Consumer, which match the characteristics of an Object, “situational” value is a function of a certain Consumer, a certain Object, and a certain Situation. Across two studies, we show that (1) loyalty has an effect on WTPHP that is mediated by reason and (2) situational value has an effect on WTPHP mediated by both emotion and reason. We conclude with discussions and managerial implications
Marketing Strategy Teaching Collaboration
Get PDFMany business schools offer courses of a similar theme in both their undergraduate and graduate programs. Being common for recent graduates of a school to matriculate into a graduate program of the same school, there is a need to ensure that undergraduate and graduate courses that share a similar theme complement one another. Yet content and assignment overlap must be minimized while providing greater rigor at the graduate level. Using the experiences of faculty from one university’s approach to address this situation, this paper a) explicates the philosophy behind the creation of Marketing Strategy courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and b) describes the process of developing/redeveloping and differentiating the courses
Consumption of Scientific Information on Television and Internet
Get PDFThis paper consists of a brief overview of studies related to the consumption of scientific information both on television and on the Internet by the general public, as well as by young people in particular. The preferences of the Internet are clear nowadays, even though television continues to have a place in multiple media. Particular cases are presented to follow a line over time and observe how the consumption of scientific information has been transforming, and how television has adapted to the new forms of production, dissemination, and consumption brought about by innovations, specifically information and communication technologies
Mentoring and Quality Service Delivery in Nigerian Public Universities: Does Organizational Culture Matter?
Get PDFThe study sought to investigate the effect of mentoring on quality service delivery in Nigerian public Universities by adopting the cross-sectional survey research design involving the administration of a questionnaire on a sample of 1900 respondents. The structural equation modelling was used to estimate the specified model. The results showed that supervisory mentoring and career development mentoring significantly affect quality service delivery. Similarly, peer review mentoring and role modelling significantly positively affect quality service delivery. Our study shows that organisational culture moderates the relationship between mentoring and quality service delivery. The study recommends that the management of Universities in Nigeria should institutionalise mentoring programmes to support employee career development and encourage senior employees to take on the responsibility of role modelling so that younger employees could emulate their work attitudes and improve the quality of service delivery in the institutions. The study’s result bears an important implication for public universities in Nigeria which must prioritize mentoring to foster the career growth of young faculty members and enhance quality service delivery
The Desirable Characteristics of Industrial Teacher Education: A Delphi Study
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the desirable characteristics of students with professional teaching experience as industrial education teachers by employing the three rounds of the Delphi method to collect data. The research instrument was a 5-level value assessment scale questionnaire. The data was analyzed using the median, mean, standard deviation, and interquartile ranges. According to the findings, specialists think that, in terms of performance standards, instructors with professional experience must possess characteristics at a high level. In the case of professional ethics, instructors who practice professional experience with pupils must possess the highest levels. Regarding the specialization characteristics of teachers in a specific discipline, students exercising teacher professional experience must possess the maximum level of characteristics. Similarly, experts note that prospective educators must prioritize accountability, punctuality, and specialized operational skills
Institutional Redesign and Dynamics of Collaborative Ties in the Educational Ecosystem
Get PDFAs the landscape of education evolves, there is a growing need to understand and adapt to the changing dynamics of partnerships and collaborations within the educational sector. While previous studies have predominantly focused on spiral models, social networks, and platform models, little attention has been given to the emerging new institutional design in education. Through an extensive analysis of open sources, this research identifies the roles played by both conventional and non-conventional actors in shaping the educational landscape and their contributions to community development.
The study reveals the evolving roles of universities, highlighting their active engagement in fostering entrepreneurship, creating vibrant communities, and supporting lifelong learning. As a result of our study, we propose a mapped scheme illustrating the relationships between the university and other actors within the educational space and illustrating the university’s potential to gain ecosystem leadership.
In summary, by capitalizing on the identified opportunities, both parties (universities and non-conventional actors) can foster a thriving ecosystem, driving community development, lifelong learning, and local entrepreneurship
