“…The problem solution was carried out with the Metaplan technique (Metaplan, 2000). In addition, during each session, leaders were involved in role-playing, and they could listen to exemplary audio clips, (recorded during earlier survey studies) (Zulfqar et al, 2016) from other leaders discussing a particular TL-behaviour. At the end of each session, a video-clip was presented to round-off the session.…”

Though there is abundant research available about leadership practices, the empirical literature focusing on studies about the impact of leadership training programs remains scarce. The present study addresses this gap in the literature and aims at evaluating a leadership training intervention with the aim to raise academic leaders' awareness to adopt transformational leadership. Leaders from one public university were involved in a six-week leadership development training program. Qualitative analysis of interviews, taken before and after the intervention, helped to develop a picture of changes in transformational leadership behaviours. There is a clear impact of the intervention. Compared to the pre-intervention interviews we observe consistent increase in awareness for all six transformational leadership behaviours. These results are discussed in view of follow-up studies in a broader research context.

“…Most of these research efforts have been done in North America, Canada and European culture (Lee & Kramer, 2016). Nevertheless less systematic research efforts have appear in the context of Asian countries, such as Iran, China, and particularly in Pakistan (Zulfqar, Valcke, Devos, Tuytens, & Shahzad, 2016). Next to that, research to date has largely been blur about the moderate influence of cultural tightness and looseness in the literature of organizational autonomous and role ambiguity particularly in higher education sector of Pakistan.…”

Various standard boards such as FASB, IASB, AAOIFI, make adjustments to the conceptual framework of financial reporting on a regular basis to respond to various internal and external changes. The first conceptual framework for Financial Reporting in Indonesia, the Framework for Preparation and Presentation for Financial Statements (FPPFS), was adopted from the IASC in 1994 and in 2007 it was adapted to the Sharia Framework for Preparation and Presentation for Financial Statements (SFPPFS). FPPFS in 2016 was replaced with the IASB Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (CFFR). This paper aims to explain the views of Islamic accounting stakeholders in Indonesia about the need for revision of the SFPPFS after the severing relationship between SFPPFS and FPPFS together with the increasing complexity of Sharia entity operations, conceptual incoherence in SFPPFS, and conceptual incoherence between SFPPFS and Islamic financial accounting standards. This study uses a survey method to analyze various opinions of 113 Islamic accounting stakeholders in Indonesia related to the need of revision of Shariah Accounting Conceptual Framework (SACF). The results show that, in general, the stakeholders want a change in the SACF and agree that Maqasid Shariah as a common foundation for the formulation of a new Sharia conceptual framework.
