Even though millions of Americans attend church, church worship practices have declined in recent years. Also, church leaders lack understanding of transformational, transactional, laissez-faire, and servant leadership styles and their potential to promote the growth of church membership. Gaps exist in the literature regarding the connection between development and efficacy, organizations and outcomes, and church leaders' styles and church membership growth. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the perception of church leaders (pastors, deacons, ministers) and members of congregations regarding leadership styles and how the implementation of those styles influences the growth of church membership. The conceptual framework of this study was Bass's full-range leadership theory and Greenleaf's servant leadership theory. The data collection methods were semistructured, face-to-face interviews with 40 church leaders and members of 4 congregations, a focus group interview with 5 of those participants, and review of church documents. Transcript review and triangulation increased the credibility and trustworthiness of the data. Thematic analysis was used in data analysis. Data analysis yielded 12 themes: ideal church leadership styles, church leadership management, church leadership motivation, leadership that ensures church growth, effective leadership communication, leadership practices, developing leaders, perceptions of leadership, church attendance growth and decline rates, leaders' roles, church administrator's handbook, and vision and mission statements. The findings of this research may influence social change for leaders of Pentecostal churches who function as leadership mentors and believers within their church environment.

Project success rate declined from 62% in 2012 to 60% in 2015 despite advances in methods and tools. Project managers need emotional intelligence and leadership style to reduce the risk of project failure. Successful projects are assets to the organization and to the whole community. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between transformational leadership, transactional leadership, passive avoidance leadership, emotional intelligence, and project manager performance. Project managers from different industries in the states of Virginia and Maryland, and the District of Columbia were administered the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Self-Report of Emotional Intelligence, and Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales questionnaires. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated the full model (nine predictors) significantly predict project manager performance, F(9, 92) = 8.330, p = .002, R2 = .449. The R2 value (.449) indicated approximately 45% of the variance in project manager performance was accounted for by the linear combination of the predictor variables. Inspirational motivation was the only significant contributor to the model (t = 3.213, Ã? = 3.959, p = .002). The result indicated that project manager performance tends to increase as inspirational motivation increases. The results of this study may have implications for positive social change include the potential for business leaders to enhance project manager performance through employing inspirational, motivational, and charismatic leadership techniques. Business leaders who improve project managers' performance increase the propensity of organizational success. Successful organizations are sources of economic growth which reduces poverty and improves the quality of life.

This qualitative study sought to gain deeper insights into how English Language Heads of Department (H.O.D.) perceive their roles in teacher development and efficacy, what leadership style inform their role enactment and the different skill sets and beliefs they take to their H.O.D. roles. The population was limited to selected schools in central Jamaica with a sample size of eight Heads of Departments in upgraded and traditional high schools. The motivation to conduct this research arose out of the concerns about Jamaica’s poor ratings in CXC English Language passes and my perception that insights into how H.O.D.s perceived their roles could possibly generate a solution to enable them to facilitate teaching learning experiences that could redound to improved CXC English Language results. Extensive case-based interviews, ranking activity and stimulated recall of artefacts were my primary sources of data, and I used open coding axial coding systems to analyze my data. Presently H.O.D.s engage in more traditional roles align them to a transactional approach as their leadership style. However, the changing roles of the H.O.D.s demand a more transformational leadership style. The findings suggest that some H.O.D.s’ approach is transformational, some transactional, while others display no distinct leadership style. Some play an excellent role in teacher development and efficacy, others play very little or no role. H.O.D.s perception of their role conflict with how they enact these roles and what they believe about them. The conclusion is that i H.O.D.s need a comprehensive system of training in their H.O.D.s specific roles and to help them develop and utilize more transformational leadership skills for use with their departments. Keywords: transformational and transactional leadership, heads of department/department chairs, Jamaican education / Teaching & Learning

As technology continuously evolves, it becomes increasingly important for various industries to adapt to the technological landscape. This necessity is evident in the banking sector, as banks must constantly evolve in parallel with those who may seek to harm the organization. The success of the industry is linked to its relationships with customers and other stakeholders, which means it is crucial to continually enhance and implement new measures to ensure risks are minimized. Previous research has highlighted the importance of leadership and the necessity of having a well-functioning risk management strategy to minimize risks and create a strong, stable foundation for operational efficiency. However, less attention has been directed toward the interdependence of these two components and how leadership affects risk management within organizations, such as banks. The purpose of this report is to increase the understanding of how various aspects of transformational and transactional leadership can be used to promote a proactive risk management, as well as how these leadership styles can be integrated with each other to create a proactive risk management within the banking sector.. The study draws on theories and previous research on leadership, risk management strategies, and Enterprise Risk Management, as well as respondents' knowledge and experiences, to address the study's purpose.This study examines the significance of leadership in cultivating a proactive risk management within the banking sector. By analyzing the role of leadership in promoting risk awareness and proactive behavior among employees, this research provides insights into how effective leaders can influence attitudes and behaviors crucial for managing risks. The findings emphasize the need for leaders within the banking sector to take initiatives to enhance the organization's capability to manage risks and promote a proactive culture essential for meeting the ever-changing challenges of today's financial landscape.In conclusion, the study's findings underscore the importance of a leader's ability to harmoniously integrate aspects of both transformational and transactional leadership to strengthen the organization's ability to manage risks and foster a proactive risk management necessary for addressing the continually evolving challenges in today's financial landscape.

Principals can help and look after those teachers who have fewer years in teaching service and are young, unmarried to promote their job involvement. (C) The suggestions to further researches: 1. In the objects of the study, this research is limited to the teachers only. For the further study, it is good if the principals’ self-evaluations are considered to get reference in mutual verification. This will enrich the research content. 2. In the phase of the research variables, it is suggested to the following-up researchers; in speaking to the job involvement, they can take job values, job significance, and job satisfaction into discussions to get more entire, complete understanding. 3. In the phase of the research tool, it can be considered to design opening questions so that deeply understanding to the research objects is revealed which the result of the research more valuable. 4. It is suggested to the following-up researchers to enhance the research methods, such as, depth interview, participation and observation, case study, action study. For which, the pivotal point of effecting teachers’ job involvement can be deeply understood to discover more and advantageous influencing factors.

The purpose of this research study was to analyze the leadership styles of owners of small land surveying businesses in the states of Tennessee and Virginia to determine what leadership style was currently being employed by the majority of those owners. The participants in this study were chosen from members of the Virginia Association of Surveyors and the Tennessee Association of Professional Surveyors. The respondents to the questionnaire were licensed land surveyors who owned small firms of fewer than 101 employees. In addition, a corollary purpose was to flesh out the skeletal literature available on small business leadership styles and their effect on small business success. The owners of the small surveying businesses were asked to reply to a series of questions on demographic data and Likert-type scale questions designed to examine the respondents' leadership styles as Participatory, Situational, or Autocratic in a both external and internal environments. The results of the questionnaire produced nominal data, which were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software to compute the frequency and significance. Additionally, a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis K Independent Samples procedure and one-way Chi -Square tests were used to analyze the statistical relationships and differences in the respondents' answers. The results of this study suggested that the majority of the respondents used a participatory style of leadership when confronted with internal environment decisions and an autocratic leadership style in the external environment. The overall conclusion drawn from this study was that the owners of small land surveying firms who responded to the questionnaire were predominantly situational because they adjusted their leadership styles to meet the needs and demands of their changing situations.
