“…As previous research findings indicate, the communication competence of the leader, and its affect on communication effectiveness as evidenced by member perception of leadermember agreement, appears to be a necessary precondition for a high quality leadermember exchange relationship. (Flauto, 1999;Kinnick, 2005;Myers and Kassing, 1998;Payne, 2005).…”

Problem Statement: Since conflict is an organizational phenomenon, its comparison between other organizational variables to find possible associations has been an important research motive. Relevant researchers have found significant correlations between conflict handling strategies of principals of different genders and school culture, emotional intelligence and conflict management styles, teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and conflict solution styles. Considering the rapid development of communication and the need for organizations to change, an increase in individual differences between organization members has become inevitable today. This also causes increased conflicts between organization members who are constantly interacting with each other. Poor communication underlies the interpersonal conflicts. The degree of interpersonal communication significantly determines the organizational performance and information transmission. Each education organization, like other organizations, is composed of people with different personalities, perceptions, attitudes, value judgments, personal goals, and expectations. Individual differences cause some problems. Solution of the problems seems to be closely associated with communication competence organization members have.

“…The simultaneous overlap, submerging, vicinity, and yet disparity of terms such as communication and interpersonal skills is just one of the many in the skills literature (cf. Kinnick and Parton, 2005, for discussion about overlap between communication and leadership). It becomes evident, accordingly, that these terms, much like the term soft skills has often become so stretched that their limits have become, in turn, vague.…”

Expanded Yet Restricted: A Mini Review of the Soft Skills Literature

There has been a progressively heightened preoccupation with soft skills among education stakeholders such as policymakers, educational psychologists, and researchers. Soft skill curricula have been considered these days and developed not only for graduates and as on-the-job training programs but also for students across all levels of education. However, different people mean different things when referring to soft skills. This review presents evidence to suggest that the use of the term "soft skills" has expanded to encompass a variety of qualities, traits, values, and attributes, as well as rather distinct constructs such as emotional labor and lookism. It is argued here that these infinite categories of things can be skills because soft skills research is primarily focused on what are the needs and requirements in the world of work. This approach is problematic because it assigns characteristics to soft skills, which in turn affect the design of the soft skills curricula. For example, soft skills are often construed as decontextualized behaviors, which can be acquired and transferred unproblematically. The paper proposes that an in-depth and embedded approach to studying soft skills should be pursued to reach a consensus on what they are and how to develop them because otherwise they will always be expanded before restricted (as they have become ambiguous) in their meaning and definition.

“…There is one known prior study conducted on The Apprentice. The basis of Kinnick and Parton's (2005) study was to determine the extent to which communication skills are presented as critical to success in contemporary American business in The Apprentice. The conclusions of their study were: (a) leadership skills and interpersonal skills were the most frequent subjects of criticisms, which far outnumbered comments of praise; (b) effective leadership and interpersonal skills are considered an essential "must have"; lack of them is a fatal flaw; and c) leadership skills were consistently identified most frequently as being critical to success, followed by interpersonal skills.…”

Donald Trump's The Apprentice, is an entertaining and educational tool for teaching business and management principles. While, few studies have been conducted on The Apprentice, there have been no prior empirical studies assessing the program as a study for analyzing management decisions. This research attempts to fill that gap. The purpose of this study is to research management decision behavior on The Apprentice. This research was conducted on management students in undergraduate and graduate courses over a two-year period. A sample of (N = 173) participants were used for the study. The participants viewed various episodes of The Apprentice and then answered a questionnaire based on their observations and decisions. The data was collected following the observations and analyzed. The objectives of the analyses were to: (a) measure the participants' termination decisions; and (b) compare their termination decisions with Trump's boardroom termination decisions. Three statistical analyses were used: (a) independent sample t-Test, (b) ANOVA, and (c) Pearson correlation. The results indicated that management students agreed with Trump's termination decisions nearly 47.4% of the time.
