Professional agency in the stream of change: Understanding educational change and teachers' professional identities

“…Recently, other scholars have similarly emphasized the significance of teachers' agency, and/or the practice of identity for their satisfaction and organizational commitment (Day & Kington, 2008;Hulpia, Devos & van Keer, 2011). Furthermore, the well-being of many teachers was found to be at stake at the initial stage of the reform (Vähäsantanen & Billett, 2008).…”

Distributed Leadership in a Low-Carbon City Agenda

“…Most advocates agree that distributed leadership is not the anti-thesis of top-down, hierarchical leadership (e.g., [52,[58][59][60]) but essentially involves the vertical and lateral dimensions of leadership practice, encompasses both formal and the informal forms.

“…Bennett et al [58] noted that conceptions of distributed leadership often signal the openness of boundaries and describe its ability to encourage the development of networks rather than relying on traditional hierarchically structured decision-making and communication concept. Nevertheless, many authors (e.g., [60][61][62][63]) argue that the leader plus concept or multiple sources of influence [54,62] attached to the notion of distributed leadership, does not imply in any way that formal leaders are now redundant as distributed leadership practice also means actively, brokering, facilitating and supporting the leadership of others [63].

We believe that distributed leadership warrants consideration as a conceptual framework for leadership of intra-and inter-organizational functions such as community engagement.…”

Examining The Relationship Between Distributed Leadership and Organizational Trust According to Opinions of Teachers

“…Bu çalışmaların birinde dağıtılmış liderlik ile örgütsel bağlılık arasındaki ilişki örüntüleri sorgulanmıştır (Hulpia, Devos ve Keer, 2011). Benzer biçimde dağıtılmış liderliğin iş doyumuna olan etkisinin de incelendiği görülmektedir (Ağırdaş, 2014).…”
