“…(Caruth, 2013). Furthermore, given the complex nature of leadership research, mixed methods enable the scholar to provide the most complete analysis, "extending beyond mere quantitative numbers or qualitative words" (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011;Stentz, Plano Clark, & Matkin, 2012). Such an approach should also contribute to reducing researcher bias and avoid the limitation which Roushan et al (2016) identify in their study, in that the researchers being themselves advocates of TEL may have meant that some opposition to change was under-reported.…”

The aim of this article is to establish the extent to which the concept of e-leadership has taken off as a lens through which to study leadership for technology-enhanced learning (TEL) in higher education. Building on a previous study conducted in 2013, this article thus covers an exploratory review of the literature for the period 2103-2017. It analyses 49 articles which explore both the specific concept of e-leadership as well as other work dealing more generally with leadership and organisational change for TEL in higher education. The findings show that while none of the empirical studies identified in the literature refer explicitly to e-leadership, there are a number of interesting insights to be found in the theoretical articles. The results also highlight the widely different interpretations and applications of the concept of e-leadership and the consequent need for the definition to be refined. The paper concludes with recommendations for further multidisciplinary research at the intersection of the fields of educational technology and educational management, focusing on values, strategy, organisation and leadership interactions at meso level, the economy and public policy at macro level, and teaching and learning at the micro level, as well as for research in Leadership Development for TEL.

“…Alvesson, 1996;Yukl, 1989) that measuring behaviors through quantitative methods can only produce a measurement of the outcomes of leadership behaviors but not the specific, actual behaviors. At the very minimum, a mixed methods approach should be utilized (Stentz, Plano, & Matkin, 2012).…”

Leadership and the Church: The Impact of Shifting Leadership Constructs

The idea of leadership has been examined for millennia. Examples of leadership in action go back to Moses from the Bible and Xenophón from Greek history. One of the key theories in early leadership is that of charismatic leadership. Although most scholars agree that a key concept of charismatic leadership is that of follower attribution, defining boundaries for charismatic is as difficult as defining leadership itself. This difficulty is accentuated in this work because of the shifting organizational structures and follower perceptions. The case details follower attributed charismatic leadership traits, and then provides a robust discussion on the impact of shifting organizational constructs.

“…Apesar de os estudos sobre o fenômeno da liderança e do julgamento moral possuírem grande tradição de ocorrerem sob uma perspectiva epistemológica positivista (STENTZ et al, 2012), elegeu--se a tipologia mista, quantitativa e qualitativa, na forma de um estudo de caso, como a mais adequada para o contexto educacional.…”

A partir da literatura, observa-se que teorias de liderança têm por propósito examinar o comportamento dos líderes que são capazes de conquistar a confiança e o apoio de seus seguidores organizacionais, levando-os a um aumento de produtividade e satisfação. Estudos distinguem a abordagem transformacional da liderança como responsável por altos níveis de motivação e compromisso dos seguidores. Analisar o contributo da liderança para o sucesso na gestão escolar foi o objetivo principal desta investigação. Para isso, optou-se pela tipologia mista, na forma de um estudo de caso único, com uma abordagem quantiquali, de cunho descritivo-interpretativo. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados foram o Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x), aplicado aos docentes e coordenadores pedagógicos, assim como um inquérito por entrevista à diretora da escola. Constatou-se que o estilo de liderança transformacional, de cunho democrático e inserido num modelo organizacional que se distingue por uma imagem de clã, resulta na eficácia, na satisfação e, em especial, no reforço ao empenhamento motivacional dos agentes educadores. Por conseguinte, depreende-se que uma liderança motivada, inovadora, experiente e consciente de sua função estratégica para o alcance dos objetivos organizacionais contribui para o sucesso da gestão escolar.
