    MYERS, GARY L. III, Ph.D., August 2019 SOCIOLOGY THE V.A.L.O.R. LEADERSHIP SHIFT: THE IMPACT OF IDENTITY VERIFICATION THROUGH VIRTUAL PLATFORM INTERACTIONS (115 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Richard Adams Leadership studies have begun to emphasize the importance of cultivating unique ways to foster leadership development. Whether you are an institution, company, community, or a youth sports team, training individuals of various confidence levels to become leaders helps to dictate the quality and longevity of the organization (Friedkin, 2004; Piper et. al, 1983; Tyler & Blader, 2003). Unfortunately, the capabilities of measuring how an individual, one whom has adopted the leader identity, changes behavior over time have been lacking in practice and in the literature. This makes it difficult to determine the effectiveness of a leadership program. However, the Virtual Academy of Leadership Organization and Resolution (V.A.L.O.R.) has developed a unique virtual platform curriculum that provides an opportunity to measure leader identity behavior as it changes over time. At 4 hours a week for 10 weeks, 80 undergraduate participants hone their leadership and teamwork skills such as project management, communication techniques, task delegation, and motivation skills. A combination of identity theory dimensions, survey analysis, and path model analysis is used to measure how V.A.L.O.R. participants’ behaviors associated with the leader identity change over time. The results begin to show how identity theory can explain change in behavior associated with the leader identity. By extension, this dissertation explores the potential of virtual platforms as a tool in the bridging of identity and behavior.

    A QUANTITATIVE EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT IN EMPLOYEES OF FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS by Kimberly Ann Maiocco Doctoral Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Business Administration Liberty University August 2017 Abstract The objective of this research was to examine the relationship between leadership practice and organizational commitment in employees in faith-based organizations. The research utilized Bass and Avolio's Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Leader Form and Meyer and Allen’s Three-Component Model (TCM) Employee Commitment Survey. The purpose of the research was to determine whether there was a relationship between leadership style and organizational commitment. Attributed idealized influence (IIA), behavioral idealized influence (IIB), inspirational motivation (IM), and contingent reward (CR) predicted affective commitment. Attributed idealized influence (IIA), inspirational motivation (IM), intellectual stimulation (IS), individual consideration (IC), active management-by-exception (MBEA), and transactional leadership predicted continuance commitment. Intellectual stimulation (IS) and passive management-by- exception (MBEP) predicted normative commitment. Transformational leadership predicted all commitment types (affective, continuance, and normative). Although a slight linear relationship was discovered, there was no statistical significance between the variables of leadership style and organizational commitment

  • Kurt Lewin's Leadership Studies and His Legacy to Social Psychology: Is There Nothing As Practical As a Good Theory?
    Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 45:4 DOI: 10.1111/jtsb.12074 Kurt Lewin’s Leadership Studies and His Legacy to Social Psychology: Is There Nothing as Practical as a Good Theory? MICHAEL BILLIG ABSTRACT This paper re-examines Kurt Lewin’s classic leadership studies, using them as a concrete example to explore his wider legacy to social psychology. Lewin distin- guished between advanced “Galileian” science, which was based on analysing particular examples, and backward “Aristotelian” science, which used statistical analyses. Close examination of the way Lewin wrote about the leadership studies reveals that he used the sort of binary, value-laden concepts that he criticised as “Aristotelian”. Such concepts, especially those of “democracy” and “autocracy”, affected the way that he analysed the results and the ways that later social scientists have understood, and misunderstood, the studies. It is argued that Lewin’s famous motto—“there is nothing as practical as a good theory”—is too simple to fit the tensions between the leadership studies and his own views of what counts as good theory. Keywords: Kurt Lewin, leadership studies, democracy and autocracy, social psychology, Aristotelian science, good theory Kurt Lewin is often depicted as a mythic figure in the history of social psychology: the textbooks typically describe him as the founding father of experimental social psychology, a genius whose life was tragically cut short. Like many mythic figures, Lewin symbolically seems to unite contradictory elements. His famous motto— “there is nothing as practical as a good theory”—appears to unite theory and practice within the orbit of experimental methodology.

  • An Exploration of Differences of Leadership Perceptions Related to a Student's Gender Within the College of Business at a Smal
    American Journal of Business Education – November 2010 Volume 3, Number 11 An Exploration Of Differences Of Leadership Perceptions Related To A Student’s Gender Within The College Of Business At A Small Liberal Arts Institution Karen K. Yarrish, Ph.D, SPHR, Keystone College, USA Ken Zula, Ph.D, SPHR, Keystone College, USA Erin Davis, Keystone College, USA ABSTRACT In preparing the next generation of business professionals, educators need to take seriously the responsibility of empowering students with tools to assist them in their pursuits. One area of interest is leadership. There is an increase in demand for colleges and universities to develop leadership skills in students. Organizations value leadership skills in the workplace and they expect that colleges and universities will educate students in the area of leadership and provide them with necessary leadership skills. Despite the broad horizon of leadership for helping to develop future leaders, it may be crucial for educators to explore the idea of student gender differences within leadership. The purpose of this study is two-fold with respect to leadership. First the researches will explore the differences of leadership perceptions related to a student’s gender. Secondly, the researchers will discuss the implications for educators, administrators, and researchers. Findings, conclusions, and recommendations will be presented. Keywords: Leadership, Gender, Students INTRODUCTION n preparing the next generation of business professionals, educators need to take seriously the responsibility of empowering students with tools to assist them in their pursuits. One area of interest is leadership. The development of students’ leadership skills has consistently been the focus among Icolleges and universities (Shertzer & Schuh, 2004).

    THE RELATIONSHIP OF LEADERSHIP STYLE TO EDUCATION ATTAINMENT AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING OF RETAIL MANAGERS IN SOUTHWEST OHIO by David Jackson Copyright 2020 A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Business Administration Franklin University ABSTRACT This study employed a quantitative research design utilizing a survey instrument to gather data related to the leadership style of leaders in the retail industry. The research evaluated the general concepts of the transformational leadership style, which includes personality and motivational concepts (Williams, Raffo, & Clark, 2018). This study utilized the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Form 5X), or the MLQ 5X, developed and validated by Bruce Avolio and Bernard Bass and widely accepted as the standard instrument to measure the level of transformational leadership style applied (Northouse, 2019). From the questionnaire, the study evaluated the relationship between the education level and the level of transformational leadership style implemented. The study also evaluated the relationship between organizational provided leadership training and the use of these leadership styles as well as a combination of the two variables. The survey was accessible online and provided anonymity to the participants. The population and sampling were from US-based retail store managers from the malls in the Southwestern Ohio area. This sample was random and based on the proximity to the primary location of the researcher. The data was statistically analyzed using regression analysis and multivariate regression analysis to determine the probability (p-value) compared to an alpha of 0.05. The coefficient of determination (r2) was used to determine the effect the independent variables (IV) have on the dependent variable (DV).
