Associations between Traditional and Digital Leadership in Academic Environment: During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Objectives: Notably, as a result of the unique circumstances that the global population is facing (Covid-19), there has been an increase in interest in educational leadership science, particularly in academic environment, with the aim of enhancing an ecosystem that is inclusive, open to change, monitoring, and often unforeseen challenges. Of the various types of educational leadership, transformational leadership is recognized as the most suitable for use in academic environment. It focuses on the division of leadership responsibilities among academics with varying skills in order to handle collectively the spectrum of leadership responsibilities needed in a variety of contexts. Methods/Analysis: This perspective is embodied in this study paper, which examined the degree to which members of the Senate of three Universities of Greece, engaged in three distinct types of leadership (transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and leadership to be avoided) via digital leadership. The findings were interpreted using descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive data analysis algorithms. Findings: The findings indicate that participants demonstrate a high level of Transformational and Transactional Leadership. They demonstrated a high level of Digital Leadership while avoiding Passive - To Avoid Leadership. The study demonstrates that Digital Leadership has a relatively favorable association with the leadership outcome, which is translated as a high level of performance and satisfaction coexisting with a high level of digital leadership execution. Novelty /Improvement: The research project indicates that a good leader who practices transformational leadership and is prepared with the necessary digital skills would be more effective in carrying out administrative responsibilities in an academic environment.

Socio-Cognitive Awareness of Inmates through an Encrypted Innovative Educational Platform

“…The overall goal of the learning process is to encourage learners to participate in lessons and to perform to the best of their ability. Some of these motivations include using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (Ojo & Adu, 2018;Chien, Liao, & Walters, 2015, Antonopoulou et al, 2021b. However, the social benefits of the essential goods of society, and among them that of education, are not always possible to offer with equal access to all citizens, for various reasons and limitations of physical, economic, and other kinds of advocacy.…”

Behavioral Analysis of Personality, Branding and Emotional State in e-Sports

“…The most common are decision trees, if-then rules, and neural networks. In the literature, several methods for extracting classification rules from big relational databases have been suggested, such as symbolic learning algorithms such as decision trees (e.g., C4.5), behavioral data mining analysis (Antonopoulou et al, 2020(Antonopoulou et al, , 2021, and rule-based algorithms (e.g., CN2). Association rules describe common patterns in data as relationships between concept characteristics.…”

Digital Transformation: Smart Strategy in Administrative Reform in Vietnam

“…The working environment and management system have been digitally transformed; citizens have also put forth many new requirements for the administrative agencies. Therefore, the volume of work to be solved has also increased dramatically, posing many new problems for leaders and state management agencies to solve [10].…”

“…Giao (2020) [14] Digital transformation is the convergence of the four breakthrough technologies: cloud computing technology, big data, the internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI). Technological aspect Antonopoulou et al (2021) [10] Digital transformation entails the birth of many innovations, such as the internet of things (IoT), digital networks, social networks, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data.…”

“…Demographic variables are described and analyzed related to digital transformation and administrative reform, and charts perform data analysis operations by number and percentage of demographic statistics. Pearson parameters Chi-Square, Fisher, and linear regression, were used to conduct the inductive method because it is consistent with the study [10].…”
