How Board and Top Management Composition Affects Sustainability PerformanceAndersson, Carl, Lind, Gustaf January 2023 (has links)
This study investigates sustainability performance of Swedish firms through the lens of the upper echelons theory. We test how the size, average age, and proportion of gender in boards of directors (BoDs) and top management teams (TMTs), is related to sustainability performance. While BoDs have been studied in this way several times previously, no other studies, which we are aware of, study the relationship between TMTs and sustainability performance. The study follows a purely quantitative approach and is based on large and mid cap firms on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. The sustainability performance of firms is proxied by the ESG-score issued by Refinitiv. The study finds that the size of both BoDs and TMTs is positively and significantly related to sustainability performance. The relationship for the size of BoDs is particularly strong and significant, whereas the one for TMTs is less so. Regarding the proportion of gender, this variable was also positively and significantly related to sustainability performance, but only for BoDs. Finally, the age variable was insignificant for both BoDs and TMTs.

Training school staffs in concepts of participatory management in the Fairfax County public schools: an evaluation studyByers, Larry January 1984 (has links)
The Fairfax County, Virginia, Public Schools made a commitment in 1981 to involve teacher leaders and principals in all schools in the improvement of school-based facilitation of instruction. It was decided that this school-based management emphasis would best be achieved through a training program that focused on concepts of participatory management. Therefore, beginning in the fall of 1981 (and for three successive semesters), principals, assistant principals, department chairpersons, and team leaders were selected to participate in a one-semester university credit course entitled “Distributed Management of Instructional Environments." The course provided a forum for the presentation of alternative decision-making models to the instructional leadership within each school. Leadership theories based on the writings of Herzberg, Maslow, Levinson, et al., and models such as Likert's linking-pin structure and Hersey and Blanchard's situational leadership were presented in large group sessions followed by small group discussions. Each school was required to prepare a planning document detailing the management processes and structures to be used to facilitate instruction. This study evaluates the success of the program in achieving its objectives. The CIPP evaluation model proposed by Stufflebeam provided the overall design for the study. / Ed. D.

The perceptions and experiences of school management teams (SMTs) on teamworkSejanamane, Carol Malekwa 11 1900 (has links)
The changes within the South African education system have turned-around the view that regards principals as “sole” people responsible for leadership and management of schools. The task of the school principal has undergone a radical change. Over the years the notion has been replaced by the view that sees management and leadership as prerogative of many, including stakeholders within and outside education. The move has become world-wide phenomenon compelled by the dual imperatives changing societal values and the rate of change.
This study is aimed at investigating the perceptions and experiences of School Management Teams (SMTs) on teamwork as an alternative to school management. The investigation was framed within the mixed-method approach, and sought to unpack the experience of SMT members with regard to teamwork. An interpretive paradigm made it possible for me to gain an in-depth understanding of SMT members’ experience of teamwork within their school contexts. I used interviews and questionnaires as research tools to gather data. This study has found that, although the concept of teamwork is well-received, there are still significant obstacles to the implementation of teamwork as an alternative form of school management / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)

Knowledge, practice and attitudes of primary school children towards healthy diet in Dikgale Village, Limpopo Province, South AfricaModjadji, Shapul Edith Ladygay January 2019 (has links)
Thesis (Ph. D. (Curriculum Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2019 / The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes and practices of primary
school children towards healthy diet in Dikgale Village, Limpopo Province, South
Africa. This study was an intervention study at eight primary schools in Dikgale Village.
The study used both qualitative and quantitative research where mixed methods
research design. A total of 324 participants consisting of Grades 6 and 7 males and
females was purposively selected. These participants were divided into experiment
and control group after pre-test but before the intervention. This study used a 27-item
questionnaire which covered, knowledge on healthy diet, attitudes, practices,
subjective norm and self-efficacy questions as well as focus group interviews. The
main findings of the study comprise the following: (i) Learners in the experiment
condition did not reflect more health-related practices (F(1.315)=0.20; p>887), i.e.,
when considering co-variables and changes in health attitude, subjective norm and
self-efficacy; and (ii) After intervention, there was a significant increase
(F(1.315)=115.72; p<0.001) in health-related knowledge on the experiment group, i.e.,
when considering co-variables and changes in health attitude, subjective norm and
self-efficacy. In addition to this significant increase, 58.3% of the differences between
both groups seemed related to the intervention with regard to changes in knowledge
acquisition. However, there was no significant increase on both health knowledge and
health practices on the control group. The results suggested that, even if there can be
changes in knowledge due to intervention, healthy practices may be difficult to change
mainly because knowledge alone cannot decrease the prevalence of health-related
conditions. As a result, this study suggest that the curriculum should cover Food
knowledge practice so as to persuade learners to practice healthy diet. Also, School
Management Teams (SMTs) and School Governing Bodies (SGBs) should play their
role in emphasizing the importance of Food-Based Dietary Guidelines in schools.
Future interventions are therefore encouraged to include a moderate intensity
intervention by trained professionals and feasibility of involving educators, SGBs and
SMTs, particularly in policy adherence. Therefore, this study proposed a healthy food
intervention strategy incorporating the Theory of Planned Behaviour in order to justify
the knowledge, attitude and practices of children in healthy diet. Intervention should
adopt the Training Partnership Model wherein children, parents, educators are trained
by health professional on adherence to healthy diet. / Vlaamse Interuniversitaire Raad (VLIR)

Essays on private equity leadership composition, risk and performanceBekyol, Yilmaz 29 July 2024 (has links)
The private equity industry has experienced a decade marked by substantial growth. However, as the investment landscape for capital providers has become more complex, the leadership team of private equity firms plays a more crucial role in navigating significant challenges. Focused on two themes, this dissertation explores the background of top management teams (TMTs) in private equity firms, its correlation with fund performance, and the backgrounds of deal lead partners and their risk assessment of leveraged buyout (LBO) investments. The first essay investigates TMT diversity, emphasizing its multi-dimensional connection with fund performance. The study differentiates between socio-demographic and occupational diversity, uncovering various effects on fund outcomes. The second essay constructs a diversity index based on a comprehensive methodology to maximize the correlation between TMT diversity and private equity fund performance. The third essay explores the risk profiles of private equity partners in LBO investment decisions, establishing a link between socio-demographic backgrounds and distinct risk assessment archetypes. This dissertation contributes to the literature in the intersection of private equity and TMT, providing insights for scholars and practitioners alike.

Principals' Perceptions of Organizational Practices and Decision Making Roles in Middle Level SchoolsEvans, Leslie P. (Leslie Paul), 1954- 08 1900 (has links)
The problem addressed in this study was whether middle level schools have adopted currently held research findings with respect to organizational structure and decision making processes promoted by the work of the Carnegie Foundation and various state agencies. Purposes included determining the perceptions of principals in schools utilizing interdisciplinary teams of teachers regarding the roles of principals and teachers in decision making processes, differences in campus performance on the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills and specific demographic variables in comparison to perceptions of principals in schools not utilizing interdisciplinary teams on these same questions.

Seven Aspects of Internal Alignment Within Key Account Management : A Qualitative Study Analyzing Internal Alignment within the B2B ContextJohansson, Elias, Ramstedt, Charlotte, Weltman, Julia January 2019 (has links)
One of the main tasks of key account management (KAM) practice is the creation of customized value propositions for a business-to-business organization's most important customers, which often requires the support of multiple internal departments. Thus, making internal alignment central in KAM in order to exchange value and serve the key accounts (KA) long-term. This study will, therefore, explore internal alignment in KAM and aims to identify what contributes to internal alignment and how misalignment could emerge in KAM teams, in order to understand the significance of internal alignment and identify possible reasons for misalignment in KAM. The theory was framed by 7 elements of internal alignment including shared values, style, skills, staff, strategy, structure and systems. The empirical data was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews with KA managers. The findings suggest that internal alignment is of importance in KAM and that the elements of internal alignment studied in the thesis are dependent on each other. Furthermore, it was found that misalignment is most commonly caused by personal disputes, however, all elements studied were found as contributing factors to misalignment. The findings led to the conclusion that internal alignment is not a target state, it is rather a measure of progress and that all aspects that do contribute to internal alignment also entail causes for misalignment.
