“…The study proposes a model that includes examination of all three of these dimensions by including variables for leader behaviors, follower expectations, and situational variables. The majority of leadership effectiveness research has been one dimensional, which provides little insight on the interweaving and interactions of these variables and fails to provide a sufficient model for predicting what contributes to leader effectiveness (Hernandez et al, 2011;Yukl, 2010). The model proposed for leader effectiveness in the current study examines the relationships of ethical leader behaviors, employee expectations and preferences for ethical leadership, and the ethical climate of an organization in predicting the effectiveness of leaders within the accounting profession.…”

The emergence of the twenty-first century was plagued with extensive, evasive and disheartening leadership failures. Despite the accounting profession's standards of professional ethics, it was also tainted with ethical leadership indiscretions during this era. In response to these ethical leadership failings, renewed interest in developing accounting professionals with strong ethical principles and ethical leadership behaviors has emerged. In many firms training and development of ethical behavior is now at the forefront of the firm's communications and professional development efforts. The question remains however, can the profession instill in its members the importance of ethical conduct? Can ethical leaders be developed that model and monitor ethical behavior? In response to the call for leaders who are ethical and moral, this research examined a model that examines ethical leadership and its impact on leader effectiveness for leaders within the accounting industry. The analysis shows that ethical and transformational leadership make incremental independent contributions in explaining leader effectiveness. The study comments on how the findings that ethically and morally focused leaders may impact the accounting profession and restore an industry tarnished with accusations of unethical behavior to one that regains its original prominence based on consistent, moral, ethical, and effective leaders.

“…Leadership is a process by which new targets, routes, ideas, values, attitudes, and conducts are set. Sources of leadership can be an individual, collective, and/or the public settings from which people are influenced [32]. The majority of existing definitions of leadership include the ability to influence [33], and therefore leadership research needs to study the nature of social influence processes [8].…”

The goal of this study is to depict the control processes in migration systems. In this article, a territorial migration system is understood to be a complex of migration streams related to a specific geographic region, embedded into a wider socio-economic system in its natural environment, and densely interacting with flows of information and matter passing through the area.The research has been done by using qualitative methods for examining relevant information from special and fiction literature, mass media, and Internet sources. The theoretical framework of this article is based on a systemic approach to analyze social phenomena.

“…Consistent with this, Ensley et al While it improves our understanding of leadership in organizations by bringing in vertical and horizontal dimensions of the leadership process, the current existent research on distributed, shared, and collective leadership has three important limitations. First, it is conducted predominantly on the team-level, while extant literature on leadership recognizes that it is a multilevel phenomenon (Hernandez et al, 2011;Yukl, 2013). Thus, a model of leadership, that would be valid at different levels of analysis, without the need to increase its complexity to analytically intractable levels, is still lacking.…”
