Leadership effectiveness and cognitive style: A Malaysian government linked companies' (GLCs) perspectives
No full textThe purpose of this study was to explore leadership effectiveness from the perspectives of
the Full Range Leadership Model and Cognitive Style Theory within the framework of
understanding both followers and leaders as individual¿s attitudes to leadership
effectiveness. Leadership effectiveness was measured using newly developed self-report
instrument, the Leadership Effectiveness Questionnaire (LEQ) with three scales of
effectiveness as suggested by Yukl (2002), which were: 1) aims, 2) followers¿ attitude
towards the leader and, 3) group processes. The Full Range leadership approaches were
measured using Bass & Avolio¿s (1997) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ)
Form 5X-Short, whilst cognitive style was gathered by using Allinson & Hayes¿s (1996)
Cognitive Style Index (CSI). A two stage (questionnaire survey followed by semi structured
interviews) mixed method study was undertaken. Questionnaire data was gathered from 331
followers and 172 leaders in Malaysian Government-Linked Companies, and 10 leaders
involved in the interviews. Findings from the survey suggest that a transformational
approach was correlated significantly and positively with effectiveness. Intuitive Cognitive
Style also correlated significantly with leadership effectiveness. Findings from the semistructured
interviews identified a few more characteristics of an effective leadership such as
balance and appreciative, whilst new dimensions of cognitive style identified such as
rational and holistic.Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) Malaysia; and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas)
Instructional leadership as a catalyst for organizational commitment: insights from a systematic literature review
Get PDFThis research intends to provide insight on the relationship between instructional leadership and organizational commitment, with a specific emphasis on the timeframe spanning from 2009 to 2023. Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach, this study conducted a systematic search of academic databases, including Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and ERIC. The search produced a large selection of papers, reviews, and articles about organizational commitment and instructional leadership. The analysis demonstrated the critical role that the impact of instructional leadership on organizational commitment played by using an advanced search strategy involving keywords, such as “instructional leadership,” “educational leadership,” “school leadership,” “organizational commitment,” “employee commitment,” and “workplace commitment.” The review identified three main themes from the final dataset, which included 33 items. These themes were: i) instructional leadership and teachers; ii) organizational commitment and school leadership styles; and iii) leadership in diverse educational contexts. The key themes were then validated by experts. The analysis reveals school leaders’ potential contributions to organizational commitment, which has consequences for educational leadership and management
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

The role of followership in enhancing teachers’ organizational commitment dimensions
Full text linkThis study explores the relationship between followership and three dimensions of organizational commitment: affective, normative and continuance among primary school teachers in Sarawak, Malaysia. Research on how followership behaviours affect employee commitment is weak despite increased understanding of their role in organisational success. To fill this gap, the study surveyed 899 primary school teachers using the revised kelley followership questionnaire (KFQ-R) and the three-component model employee commitment survey (TCM-ECS). Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate significant positive relationships between followership and all three commitment dimensions, with the strongest association observed for affective commitment (β=0.564, p0.001), followed by normative commitment (β=0.388, p0.001) and continuance commitment (β=0.337, p0.001). These findings suggest that effective follower behaviors significantly enhance employees’ emotional attachment, sense of obligation and perceived cost of leaving their organizations. Although this is cross-sectional research, it adds to our understanding of how followership may assist establish organizational loyalty. It also suggests that organizations may be able to increase employee commitment by teaching people how to follow others
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
