“…Those who experience turning points often choose new professional directions not previously considered, leading to significant changes or modifications in their work. Positive turning points empower individuals, upgrade their professional abilities and maximize their human capital (Hoffman et al , 2014). Yair (2009) classifies the influence of key experiences into: practical influences on one’s course of life in terms of education, employment and leisure; influences on personality, character, worldview and way of thinking; influences on values and religious beliefs; and influences on long-term behaviors.…”

Purpose The literature indicates that sudden key experiences induce emotional and cognitive reactions strong enough to change perceptions and behavior over time. The purpose of this paper is to examine the question whether school principals undergo key experiences and whether these experiences are related to improvements in their work patterns and to professional empowerment beyond what could be attributable to the professional insights acquired through on-the-job experience. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative in-depth interviews of 15 public high school principals with 4–19 years of experience elicited information about the extent of their exposure to key experiences and any changes that occurred in their managerial thinking and functioning after having undergone these experiences. Findings All of the respondents implemented significant changes in their work after undergoing key experiences. The insights gained from key experiences had not been acquired through on-the-job experience. Nevertheless, the qualitative nature of this research does not allow for any conclusive findings about the causality of key experiences upon managerial changes among principals. Practical implications It may be possible to use the findings uncovered by this study and its conclusions regarding experiential learning acquired from key experiences by school principals to enrich managers in general. Originality/value This study demonstrates that the process of school principals’ professional development involves a unique component and source of knowledge resulting from key experiences, and this phenomenon has not previously been investigated. This study’s findings about key experiences contribute to a deeper understanding of the process of professional development among principals.

“…The problem is that little empirical research has been done on what peak-experiences look like across nationalities (Hoffman & Muramoto, 2007). Studies of peak-experiences among Japanese (Hoffman & Muramoto, 2007), Nordic (Hoffman, Iversen, & Ortiz, 2010), Chinese (Hoffman, Ho, Chen, & Ortiz, 2014), Brazilian (Hoffman, Resende, & Ho, 2012), and Mexican (Hoffman & Ortiz, 2009 ) youth have been conducted and continues to inform current research. Hoffman and Muramoto (2007) noted that Maslow’s focus on the concept of childhood peak-experiences became more significant later in his career along with the desire to produce empirically validated research about the topic.…”

Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington are pioneering examples of African American leaders who realized the fullness of their potentialities despite profound obstacles toward growth. It was through their abilities to respond to the shared needs of the African American community that they culturally epitomized the spirit of what Abraham Maslow defined as self-actualization. The researcher utilized text-based data to examine the process of development among the three historic figures as they relate to Maslow’s theory of self-actualization. The researcher analyzed published autobiographical books, essays, and speeches authored by each of the three men while integrating the cultural and historical context of their lived experiences through the humanistic and positive psychological lens of Maslow’s theory of self-actualization. Through a qualitative autobiographical analysis of the three men, the researcher discovered 15 common attributes in their process of self-actualization. Low self-esteem, depression, and learned helplessness are negatively affecting many aspects of the African American community; therefore, community leaders, mental health practitioners, and other advocates for underserved communities of color have an opportunity to provide enhanced training and treatment to help slow the tide of unrealized potential within key sectors of the African American community.

“…Researchers have studied materialism and its effect (Hoffman et al, 2014;Islam, et al, 2017;Shek et al, 2014;Shoham et al, 2014;Segev et al, 2015;Shek et al, 2016;Tuu et al, 2017;Pradhan et al, 2018). Consumerism in Saudi Arabia can be attributed to the products imported from western countries (Ahmad & Mahfooz, 2018).…”

This comparative study between television and digital advertising explores the effect of viewership and information on compulsive buying behavior. To test the relationships in proposed framework, data was collected through self-administered questionnaires using convenience sampling technique. Out of 285 responses, 267 were chosen for the purpose of study and analyzed for descriptive statistics as well as relationship between information, materialism and buying behavior. Significant positive relationship was found between all dimensions. For both online and television advertising, viewership factors were found to have a higher impact than information on materialism. On compulsive buying behavior, viewership was more effective as compared to information, whereas for television advertising information had a greater effect.
