University management and academic staff have a critical role to diligently play in fulfilling university's mandate. Effective and efficient governance and management of both private and public universities have a direct bearing on the overall quality of the institutions. With management operating under laid down governance structures, it is crucial that specific leadership styles are adopted to make easier their roles. This paper examines the relationship between leadership styles and Lecturers' job satisfaction in higher learning institutions in Kenya. A target population of 2,773 administrators and lecturers in chartered public and private universities in Rift Valley Region of Kenya was considered. A sample of 605 participants was then obtained. The study employed convergent parallel mixed methods design with census, random and systematic sampling techniques to select the respondents. Purposive sampling was also used to select information-rich cases. Questionnaires, interview and document analysis were used for data collection. Both qualitative and quantitative data was analysed.Pearson correlation coefficient, independent-samples t-test, One-way ANOVA and regression coefficients were employed with the use of the Statistical

Management style and decision-making create an organization’s culture and influence its performance also in the pro-ecological dimension. Therefore, this paper’s originality lies in how it explores the effect of management style to inform our understanding of decision-making when using a sustainable approach. However, the cause-and-effect relations between decisions and management style remain vastly unexplored. The paper’s aim is to explore whether the management style serves as a basis for decision-making or if it is an effect of decisions. This research addresses a research question: is the management style a basis for decision-making or an effect of the decisions in a pro-ecological context? We used a comprehensive literature review by using inductive and deductive approaches to analyze the relations between decision-making and management style. The paper also illustrates how organizational culture images can inform accounts of business realities influencing organizations’ green strategies. The analogies followed relations between color symbol and guiding metaphor. The article presents a theoretical discussion on the influence of management style on decision-making in the organization, based on original literature research in pro-ecological strategy related decisions. As a result, a decision-making style model is proposed. This nonorthodox approach might open up new avenues of thought in the field of decision-making, management styles, and pro-ecological strategy. Theoretical and managerial implications and directions for future research are also addressed.

The days when academics were regarded as a low-stress working environment were over. Because of the reshaping of academics' work, multiple roles have emerged, and the academics must take steps for the changing situations in their academics' practices. When academics do not experience a sense of well-being at work and feel the lack of competencies, this may lead academics to experience a high level of burnout or even leave the teaching professions. Therefore, this study will be conducted to examine the burnout characteristics of academics in research universities in Malaysia towards their innovative work behavior in teaching, research and service activities. With the high demand of producing specific research outputs put the academics under pressure to cope with their teaching responsibilities and other managerial and administrative responsibilities. This study will also examine the moderating effects of Islamic religiosity on the relationship between job burnout, perceived organizational support and innovative work behavior among academics in Malaysian Research Universities. Three hundred and sixty-four (364) Muslim academics from four Malaysian Research Universities located in Klang Valley will be sampled. Data will be collected via questionnaires, and the study will be using SPSS and AMOS, an approach of structural equation modeling to examine the survey data. Thus, the findings will be expected to show that the effect of job burnout and perceived organizational support on innovative work behavior is significant for academics and that Islamic religiosity of academics contributed to alleviating job burnout and enhancing positive, innovative work behavior.
