Impact of transformational and Transactional Leadership Styles on Affective Organizational Commitment: Analyzing the Conditional Role of Organizational Mission-driven Culture in Qatari Primary Health Care Corporation
Authors: Shaher Alshamari  , Yehia aldaaja  , Noor Ul Hadi
Published: November 2024

Since leadership beliefs differ across cultures, there remains a paucity of evidence on the relationship between leadership styles, organizational culture, and affective organizational commitment. Therefore, this study made an attempt to examine the relationship between leadership styles, organizational mission-driven culture, and affective commitment of Qatari Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) employees. Under the lens of implicit leadership theory, the study hypothesized the conditional role of organizational mission-driven culture on the relationship between transactional leadership style and affective organizational commitment. The study also hypothesized the direct relationship between transformational leadership and affective organizational commitment. Data was collected from 23 health care centes, and a total of 1029 valid responses were analyzed via SPSS. Findings of the study revealed that the direct relationship between transformational leadership and affective organizational commitment of employees is positive and significant. Conversely, the direct relationship between transactional leadership and affective organizational commitment of employees is insignificant. Interestingly, the conditional role of mission-driven culture magnifies the relationship between transactional leadership and affective organizational commitment of employees, indicating that to reach a balance between transactional and transformational leadership styles, the role of mission-driven culture is considerable. These findings confirm that leadership beliefs differ across culture and conclude that transformational leaders reinforce organizational culture while transactional leaders work under existing organizational culture.
The Legal Regime of Portuguese Higher Education Institutions: Contributions for Future Changes
Authors: Castilho Olimpio , Machado-Taylor Maria de Lourdes
Published: November 2024

The Portuguese higher education system is binary, divided into two subsystems, university and polytechnic, being regulated, since 2007, by the so-called RJIES (Legal Regime of Higher Education Institutions). The RJIES regulates the organic structure of the higher education institutions (HEIs) as well as the competencies of mandatory bodies, such as the general council, which is also given the power to elect the rector/president, another of the mandatory bodies. The RJIES, in place for 17 years, has not been revised since 2007 despite being subject of criticism and claim for changes. This paper presents a reflection for future changes to this RJIES regarding the process of electing the rector/president. This is noted and complained about by a wide range of the academic community – teachers, students, and non-teaching academic staff, in addition to other interested parties in universities and polytechnic institutes. Therefore, we present a brief review of the literature related to this topic, the results of survey and interviews carried out with top managers of Portuguese Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).The survey was completed online by a wide range of public HEIs managers (rectors and directors, presidents, vice-rectors and vice-presidents, pro-rectors and pro-presidents) and their stakeholders (teaching and non-teaching workers and students, through their representative structures, unions and student unions, and other leaders of professional and business associations). Interviews were also carried out in 2021, which remain completely current, given the fact that legal changes have not occurred so far. The results that will be presented indicate that changes should be made. Brief conclusions and a proposal for amendments to the current legislation, covering the rector/president election process, will be presented. It is advocated a new model of election of rector/president, the intervention of two different bodies, one of them being the general and supervisory council (new designation defended), with a composition mainly of external members, selected in a different way in relation to the current one.

Conceptual Trends in Internal Audit
Authors: Preda Madalina
Published: November 2024

The evolution of the economic environment amidst multidimensional changes, i.e. development, globalisation, economic crises, pandemics, stakeholder interest in credible, relevant and transparent information, has led to continuous changes in the framework for doing business. These changes have generated for entities operating in a globalised economic environment business opportunities, significant profits, financial downturns, but also exposure to diverse and complex risks and therefore proactive risk management. From this perspective, internal audit has gradually, over time, become the key actor supporting the entity in achieving its objectives, adding value as well as corporate governance. In this context, the objective of the research is to identify the internal audit trend and related conceptual connotations. The research approach includes a literature review of the Web of Science from Clarivate Analytics. The research involves a systematic analysis on internal auditing, conducted through a quantitative research methodology. The research sample includes 29 articles extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database, covering the publication period 2005-2024. The sample was established after several stages of keyword filtering.  This analysis focuses on identifying author affiliations, content of papers, research methods used, and citations and references to highlight significant trends and changes in the field of internal audit. The results demonstrate a concrete and consistent interest in the field of internal audit, highlighting the identification and analysis of significant trends and changes in internal audit practices and roles over time. In addition, it highlights a trend towards a more holistic approach to internal audit that goes beyond its traditional assurance role and extends to providing strategic advice and support to organisations. The research will thus contribute to the identification of future research directions and to a deeper understanding of the role and importance of internal audit in today's economic environment.

Authors: Kozáková Eva , Saliger Radomir
Published: November 2024

The article deals with application of emotional intelligence for leaders of direct leadership in the Army of the Czech Republic and its connection with the social climate of their units. Emotional intelligence leadership and social climate is a connection that is currently appearing in research activity and doctrinal army documents and explores. The authors try to find and evaluate the benefits and limits of EI in the field of preparation military personnel. From the currently available research, it is precisely the construct of emotional intelligence that appears as one of the possible ways to develop the necessary skills of commanders to facilitate their work with subordinates. Emotional intelligence involves the ability to correctly identify emotions in oneself and in others, to understand emotions and their language, to manage emotions in oneself and in others and use emotions to support cognitive activities and to motivate adaptive behaviour. Direct leadership is the level where leading people is face to face. These are units, where subordinates are used to seeing their commanders every day. For these functions it is still possible and important to create strong relationships, close cooperation and mutual knowledge of all members of the unit. Commanders facing high decision-making demands in an unstable environment. They build working one’s teams with a favourable social climate and support their psychological resilience subordinates. These aspects are decisive for ensuring the tasks of the unit. The main method is quantitative research, which is carried out using a standardized test MSCEIT emotional intelligence in selected commanders of six units and a non-standardized questionnaire "social climate on the units" in their subordinates. Based on obtained results is submitted methodology of development of emotional intelligence for leaders of a platoon. It contains standard parameters. The thesis also formulates recommendation for pedagogical and research activities and output of doctrine leadership.
From the Belly of the Beast, the Monsters We Can Create from the Zombies and the Hyenas amongst us!
Authors: Dwayi Valindawo Valile M
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this article is to address what has always been discussed as the three main elements of the social world. That is, the structure, culture and agency in the management, leadership and governance systems in university education. Such elements, as analytically distinct, arise from the assumptions that their roles, respectively, are values free exercise, asocial, apolitical and, therefore, neutral. Citing a particular case that has been a subject of deep debates and extensive conversations in previous ECMLG 2021, ECMLG 2022 and as part one of ECMLG 2024, this paper subjects, as an immanent critique, the claims that the management of organisations’ resources, which generally make for the interface between senior management and the formal governance of the organisation, with all things being equal, can make for forms of efficiency and effectiveness in organisational and management systems. With the title of the paper, From the belly of the beast, the monsters we can create from the zombies and the hyenas amongst us, the paper thus adopts a disruptive and transgressive stance about what can always appear as the structural and cultural norms. As such, the paper will argue, by drawing from the post-modernist theories, for example, the social realist theory as anchored on the critical realist philosophy, that it takes the properties and powers both of the knowledge and knower structures for the ideal of university education as the public good, as the case will illustrate, to be a realist reality. By means of a social realist methodology, research data was drawn from organizational records, which was then subjected to critical discourse analysis for identifying the structural mechanisms that could generate the crisis events and processes, and further to how the latter could be experienced and observed over time. Such a methodology therefore foregrounds the value of morphogenesis/morphostasis in a social realist oriented project. Based on what ought to be the theory-methodology-practical program chain,  the value of the article is, in itself, and for generalised contexts, thus related to what ought to lie behind the shine of leadership practices, of the management systems, and of the governance structures. That refers to the case of what can be the three headed monstrous situations, and further to the value of the practices as the nexus of research and development, of policy and implementation, and of strategy and leadership.
Capacity Planning in Paediatric Palliative and Hospice Care: An Italian Case
Authors: Pamich Chiara , Tiso Anna , Pozzan Caterina , Benini Franca , Verbano Chiara
Published: November 2024

Although the growing demand for healthcare services has enhanced the occurrence of inefficiencies in care provision, healthcare systems should ensure safe, timely and equitable access to care. In particular, the long waiting lists, the lack of beds, and the shortage of healthcare workforce have highlighted the necessity to effectively manage and strategically plan the available resources. Capacity Planning (CP) contributes to determine what, when, where and how much product or service to deliver, with the goal of analysing and optimizing the use and allocation of human and material resources (e.g., physical spaces, equipment, beds, workforce) based on the demand. CP demonstrates to be extremely relevant for hospital units to schedule appointments, diagnostics, surgeries and admissions. Complex contexts and broader healthcare networks could benefit even more from this approach, helping to coordinate multiple care providers and aligning the available resources with the demand pace. The current research presents the implementation of CP in the context of Paediatric Palliative and Hospice Care (PPHC), delivered in an Italian facility. PPHC provides long-term, interdisciplinary and coordinated care between territorial, ambulatory and hospice services. It encompasses follow-up activities, parental training, end-of-life and respite care. In the Italian case analysed, the shortage of beds affects the quality of care delivered to these patients, in terms of accessibility to the service, effectiveness and timeliness of care. Hence, a CP analysis has been performed to pursue a twofold objective: a) to understand if the current capacity of the facility meets the demand for care; b) to improve productivity through an optimized allocation of resources, particularly the available beds and the healthcare workforce. The expected results involve a more effective use of resources, an increased bed occupancy rate and a reduction in rescheduled admissions due to inadequate planning. Optimizing capacity in this specific setting can serve as a pilot project for other similar contexts, aiming to improve patients’ access to healthcare services, their quality of life and supporting the workforce involved in PPHC. This research offers new insights from both the academic and managerial point of view, providing evidence about the implementation of CP in complex healthcare settings.
Reflecting on the Journeys of Women in Higher Education Leadership: A Case Study in South Africa
Authors: Moodly Adéle
Published: November 2024

Indra Nooyi (2021, p. 273/4), former Chairperson and CEO, PepsiCo, wrote in her biography on why she accepted as many invitations as possible to conferences in support of and to advance women: “These events are important for keeping society’s inequities in the spotlight and for supporting women as they manoeuvre in tough careers. But they do more than that. They build our sisterhood. Women share. We gain resolve when we hear others’ stories and meet people who sympathize with our struggles”. This paper shares the stories of four women who have achieved the highest levels of leadership in South Africa’s public universities. The sharing the journeys and experiences of two deputy vice-chancellors and two vice-chancellors, pick up on themes that echo through time, in supporting and advancing equity in and towards leadership. In a society where patriarchy still dominates and holds a violent, oppressive grip over women and girl-children, women’s stories of struggle and achievement need to be told. In their navigation and victories over their own challenges, these women become the role models for young women and girl-children. Their achievements affirm women, their resilience and strength. Their determination and courage in taking up apex positions in universities, affirm women as equal members of society, debunking patriarchal notions of gendered roles and spaces.  The paper highlights their lessons learnt, and contributes to the body of knowledge on the intrinsic and extrinsic attributes and drivers that women develop and adopt on these journeys.
Power and Status Inconsistency and Conflict in Teams
Authors: Jin Park
Published: November 2024

Power and status, two forms of social hierarchy, are fundamental feature of social relations, and they have two functions that are especially important for teams that lack formal hierarchy: 1) to establish order and coordination, and 2) to motivate employees to strive for promotion. Hierarchy provides clear social governance in groups by allowing leaders to assign tasks or allocate resources, and it provides incentives for individuals to climb the organizational ladder to obtain greater compensation and comfort. Individuals with high power and/or high status are more likely to perform leadership behaviors in teams. However, they may also cause conflict by activating threat and distrust when other team members perceive that aspirants’ leadership behaviors are misaligned with their power and/or status. This misalignment can be complex because social hierarchy has multiple forms such as status and power and multiple levels such as team and organizational levels. The current study investigates (1) how the inconsistency between power and status of a team member affect conflict with other team members and (2) how team member’s needs for power and needs for status moderate the power-status inconsistency and conflict relationship. Data was collected from a sample of MBA student teams at a large mid-western university in the United States. In the results the study found no evidence of the power-status inconsistency and conflict relationship, yet found the moderating effect of needs for power on that relationship.

Authors: Multescu Mihaela , Susman Iulia-Elena , Culetu Alina
Published: November 2024

The current investigation delineates the application of the photochemiluminescence assay in two distinct extracts, namely hydrophilic and lipophilic, alongside the utilization of the DPPH method to quantify the antioxidative potential of five fruits belonging to the Prunus genus (sweet cherry, sour cherry, apricot, peach and plum). The findings of this study revealed that the analyzed fruit samples exhibited noticeable concentrations of phenolic compounds ranging from 31.14 ± 0.29 to 171.61 ± 0.98 mg of Gallic Acid Equivalent per 100 g of fresh weight. In reference to the flavonoid content, the observed concentrations ranged from 8.61±0.19 to 22.15 ± 0.31 mg Rutin Equivalent per 100 g fresh weight, whereas the anthocyanin content displayed concentrations ranging between 0.26 ± 0.01 and 5.26 ± 0.51 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside equivalent per 100 g fresh weight. Remarkably, the sour cherry exhibited the highest antioxidant capacity among the tested fruits in both hydrophilic and lipophilic systems, followed by sweet cherry and apricot.

Post-harvest heating on honey is crucial for moisture reduction, microbial inhibition, and crystallization prevention, yet it can diminish bioactive compounds such as antioxidants. This study aims to investigate the impact of heating on the antioxidant properties of Indonesian honey, encompassing three Apini and three Meliponini honey types. While all samples exhibited changes in antioxidant properties post-heating, Apini honey displayed a more consistent pattern compared to Meliponini honey. The DPPH assay, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content consistently indicated a decline in antioxidants at lower temperatures and short durations of heating, followed by an increase at high temperatures and longer duration, suggesting a compensation mechanism through the generation of new antioxidants via Maillard’s reaction. However, the ferric reducing power assay revealed a consistent decrease in antioxidants post-heating for Apini honey, indicating damage to natural antioxidants without compensation, whereas Meliponini honey displayed irregular dynamics, suggesting both damage and formation of antioxidants. The Apini honey showed the best antioxidant properties at high temperatures (100°C), whereas Meliponini honey showed an optimum at low temperature (50°C) for extended durations or medium temperature (75°C) for shorter durations.

Protein malnutrition stands out as the most serious nutrition deficiency problem in infants and young children in developing countries. This study investigated the quality attributes of pasta produced from a blend of cassava starch, egg powder, and ginger flour. D-optimal mixture design approach was used for the formulation of the flour blends, resulting into fourteen experimental runs. Pasta was manufactured from this blend via cold extrusion process and was analyzed for proximate composition, colour, antioxidant, cooking and sensory properties using standard methods. The crude protein and total carbohydrate contents of the pasta ranged from 4.15-8.40% and 81.29-86.28%, respectively. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed, from a statistical viewpoint, in the colour and antioxidant properties. The cooking properties ranged from 8.45-20.07min, 2.88-20.00%, 1.06-8.47% and 86.50-468.74% for cooking time, cooking loss, expansion ratio and water absorption capacity, respectively. However, pasta produced from cassava starch, egg powder and ginger flour were all preferred by the panelists in terms of aroma, colour, texture and appearance, but pasta from the control sample had the highest overall acceptability. The study showed that pasta from cassava starch, egg powder and ginger flour could be useful to combat malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies in developing countries.

Published: November 2024

Bambara groundnut is an underutilized food outside the main regions of its consumption. However, after soybean, groundnut, and cowpea, this legume is considered the fourth most significant  one. It is an excellent food crop due to various beneficial characteristics, including stress tolerance, nitrogen fixation, and the capacity to grow and sustain in low-input environments. The fact that Bambara groundnut can be eaten untreated demonstrates that it has fewer and least harmful anti-nutritional factors. Due to its well-balanced macronutrient content, this nutrient-dense legume is commonly known as a “complete food”. Compared to other legume crops, Bambara groundnut has an excellent nutrition profile for traditional and new food applications, besides the agronomic potential to be planted in many areas globally. Increasing awareness among consumers of Bambara groundnut as a food is needed for this potential crop. This review showed that Bambara groundnut possesses high values of nutritional composition, lower quantity of anti-nutritional properties, and good functional and physico-chemical properties. Discussion on applications of Bambara groundnut in the food industry showed Bambara groundnut could be explored as an alternative source of protein, supplementation of carbohydrate-based foods, and ingredient in many food applications.

Balancing Academic Sponsorship and Foreign Cultural Policy: an Interpretation of Five Decades of Humboldt Foundation Sponsorship Data
Authors: Jöns Heike
Published: November 2024

When the present Humboldt Foundation was founded on 10 December 1953, it was the third time a sponsoring institution had been created in the tradition of the distinguished naturalist, universal genius and South America researcher. He thought it was so important to promote young academic talent that he financed promising young researchers from his own personal fortune. The first Alexander von Humboldt Foundation was established in 1860, a year after the death of its eponym, with the objective of sponsoring young German academics to travel abroad. After losing its capital in the great inflation and ceasing to function in 1923, it was re-established in 1925 with the aim of supporting the studies of foreign academics and doctoral students in Germany.

Published: November 2024

In the year 31 B.C. the land of Judea experienced a natural phenomenon with which residents of California are all too familiar-an earthquake. It was of enormous severity, "such as had not been seen before", according to the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, to whom we are indebted for this account (Antiquities 15.108-160). Approximately 30,000 people were killed, not to mention the lost of countless head of cattle. At this very time Herod was engaged in a series of battles against Nabataean Arabs, who had temporarily gained the upper hand and then gone so far as to slay Herod's envoys sent to negotiate terms for peace.
Romania between the Wars. Institutional Backgrounds and Political Practice

Published: November 2024

A major problem of reunited Romania was the integration of the new provinces in the economy and legislation of the Kingdom. This difficult mission failed to succed, although there were many capable people, who handled the Romanian policy at that time, from Ionel Brătianu to Iuliu Maniu or Ion Nistor and Ion Incule&, to name liders from all the provinces. The old disfunctionalities from the Romanian policy "said their word again" by creating discontents, which, finally led to the bankrupcy of the parliamentary democracy from Romania. The old political class missed the important moments of the new start. Shortly, the hopes concerning the agricultural reform were also exhausted, the peasants facing majore difficulties, which led most of them to bankrupcy.
Contributions to a History of Private Life: Drinks and Foods on the Table of King Carol II
Authors: Banu Florian
Published: November 2024

In this paper, I try to examine a particular aspect of a king’s life: alimentation. How much and how expensive was a breakfast or a dinner for Romanian king Carol II? What was included on the menu? What kind of wine, cognac and champagne drink a royal court? Based on the primary information, extracted from the National Archives files, our study try to offer an answer for all of these questions. More than that, I try to make a comparison between common people life level and the Romanian highlife in interwar period. Proportion between cash income and food cost illustrated very accurate the real life level in this period, for the most people. Our paper reveals a little surprising life style for a crowned person (in special for a king like Carol II): a variety of alimentation, but not an opulent style, a healthful menu, but not very expensive. So, popular expression like "eat like a king" must understand in a new sense, in a very positive sense.

The ancient Phoenician sacrificial practices unveil a primordial ritual order which seems to include in its cultic codes initial elemets of the proto- Hellenic and proto-Semitic sacrificial traditions. Called kena‘ani or Canaanites, a word which was adopted as kinahna in Akkadian, the Phoenicians moved into the area of modern Lebanon around 3000 BC, at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, centuries before Sargon of Akkad and Naram-sin, his grandson, founded in Mesopotamia, in the region where the Tigris and the Euphrates are closest to each other, the city of Agade and the first empire in history. In the same way as other Semites, the Phoenicians worshipped El as the chief figure of their pantheon, which comprised also Asherah of the Sea and Astarte as goddesses.

Vocational High Schools (SMK) act as key partners for higher education institutions, focusing on transferring knowledge and technology to the broader community. SMKs require high-level competencies for their teachers and students to meet the demands of today’s workforce effectively. To support this need, a community service program aimed at creating metal casting patterns was launched. This initiative called the off-campus community service activity (PkM DLK), was organized by a team of lecturers and students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering Education at Yogyakarta State University. The primary goal of this program was to train teachers and educational staff to proficiently create casting patterns using 3D printing technology, allowing for a more efficient and streamlined process. The activity was conducted at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Bantul, involving both the university team and the school's teachers and staff, specially for the mechanical engineering program. The methodology used for this program was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which encouraged active participation from all involved. Key stages included an introduction to the program, hands-on practice designing pattern models using Inventor CAD 2024 software, simulating the printing process with Ultimaker Cura software, operating 3D printers, printing and finishing the patterns, and finally conducting a casting trial using the newly created patterns. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants giving an average score of 85.88, indicating a "very satisfied" rating.

The Community Service Program in Serut Village is designed to empower the community through culture-based literacy, focusing on waste management, the preservation of traditional games, and the promotion of local products under the GEOMETRI initiative. This program addresses the issues of plastic waste pollution and the low interest in reading among rural communities. The methods employed include training for mothers and school-aged children in creating flower arrangements from waste materials, participating in traditional math-based games, and running a marketplace. The service team provides sewing training and supports children in improving their literacy skills. The outcomes of this program include enhancing the creative skills of the community, reducing waste, and strengthening environmental literacy and awareness. Through the GEOMETRI program, village residents learn how to better manage waste by repurposing unused materials, such as making buckets from waste. Furthermore, the preservation of traditional math-based games helps to foster greater public interest in reading and literacy, ultimately contributing to heightened environmental awareness. The market also allows local products from rural communities to be promoted more widely, creating new sustainable economic opportunities. This program is expected to serve as a model for sustainable community empowerment in other areas.
