  • Social Constructionist Perspective of the Leadership in Serbia
    Inzinerine Ekonomika-Engineering Economics, 2014, 25(4), 437–449 Social Constructionist Perspective of the Leadership in Serbia Valentin Konja, Dejan Matic, Danijela Lalic University of Novi Sad Trg Dositeja Obradovica 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia E-mail. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ee.25.4.3990 Over the past decades, psychological approaches to leadership backed by quantitative research have emerged. However, these approaches often show very narrow perspectives and address only a few factors. As a result, over the past few years new approaches to leadership with broader perspectives and qualitative research methodologies have been developed, but only a few scholars have as yet managed to conduct studies within this framework. The main goal of this paper is to find out more about the social and cultural context in which leaders make sense of their leadership, and how the mixture of old and new socio-cultural influences affects them. Discursive leadership, with its social and cultural focus, emerged as the appropriate model for this study. Our findings reveal the important role of communication in leadership, identify two major forces that influence Serbian managers’ leadership and show their willingness to accept new values and standards in making sense of their leadership. The value of this study is its contribution to a new, broader and more meaningful way of the approach to leadership, as well as its influence on scholars, leadership experts and practitioners, primarily in non- Western and post-transitional environments. It also gives recommendations to scholars to conduct social constructionist leadership research, so that in the near future a true balance between social constructionist and psychological approaches can be achieved.

  • Impact of the Skills of Leaders on the Management of Organizational Change in Small and Medium Enterprises
    Journal of Business Paradigms Vol 1 No 1, 2016 IMPACT OF THE SKILLS OF LEADERS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES Oliver Momcilovic1 Sports academy, Belgrade, Serbia Gordana Nikolic Business School PAR, Croatia Slavko Arsovski Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac, Serbia ABSTRACT Every science has three pillars: to write, to analyze the phenomena and to use the acquired knowledge to predict future states of behavior and performance. The scientific justification of such research is unquestionable because it is under-explored and underdefined, however there exists proven scientific knowledge of the role of leadership skills as a factor in addressing business change in SMEs. The main objective of the work is to determine whether the skills of leaders are key factors in the leading position of SMEs, i.e. to investigate and critically assess the level of business changes in the SME. The practical objective of the study was to use the results of the research to design a model that would contribute to a better concept of leadership. The final goal is to complement the established scientific knowledge on achievements of theoretical pursuit and to attempt to set leadership as a catalyst of developmental changes in SMEs. Therefore it is necessary to more accurately determine which agents of change are related to the reality that is being investigated, as well as to understand and anticipate all the possible negative effects of these changes on the overall effectiveness or performance. The scientific and social objective of this paper is to set forth a scientific description of the impact of leadership skills with the aim of improving the work and operations of SMEs, improving the effectiveness of SMEs, concurrently following the same model as in highly developed countries – those which have long used techniques of leadership in the cultivation of leaders.
