The researcher aimed to understand how the system and school leaders, as well as an expert panel would respond to scenarios of future schooling the scenarios as constructed in the OECD Schooling for Tomorrow scenarios, the Holon IQ five scenarios for the Future of Learning and Talent, and the Sanborn et al. Future of Education (see the tables under the section Scenarios). The researcher aimed to understand what this suggested concerning the system and school leaders perceptions, knowledge and values relating to future schooling, and what it suggested for policy development and change in Australian schools.

Corporations are under increasing pressure to serve social purposes beyond maximizing shareholder value. One of the best resources for businesses seeking to affect social change meaningfully is through working with, learning from, and partnering with nonprofits. Different approaches have been emerging for nonprofits to inform and support the interests of for-profit businesses in the area of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, collective impact (CI) and its implications for corporate partners; increasing positive community engagement through progressive hiring practices instituted by non-profit organizations (NPOs); fostering innovation within an organizational setting through NPO collaboration; and exploring a hybrid model of non-profit/for-profit business, with an examination of the advantages and disadvantages thereof. In this paper, we review these unique approaches to show how for-profits can learn from nonprofits and vice versa when it comes to social innovation and corporate social responsibility.

This quantitative, quasi-experimental study examined the leadership skills of pre-service and career teachers to determine how education influences leadership skills when assessed by two valid and reliable leadership assessments. The general problem was some teachers leave the field of education, due to lack of effective leadership skills in managing the classroom to include practicing leadership power skills, organizational skills, and classroom management skills. This study has revealed the significance of how engaging in effectual leadership skill instruction by embracing leadership power skills and organizational skills, which may assist teachers remaining in the educational domain. The theoretical framework most closely related to this study was transformational leadership theory and concerned whether or not leadership skills can be learned. Three research questions were analyzed and the findings affirmed the second and third hypotheses. The summary of results determined most teachers were rewarding, legitimate, expert, referent, or coercive leaders. The findings suggested doctoral level research was successfully conducted; leadership skills can be learned and further research was recommended. The conclusion was hope was given to future students and future teachers who enroll in leadership training programs. Recommendations derived from this study included universities should require mandatory leadership classes be offered to most all students, especially educational students; continued professional development seminars to career teachers was encouraged in order to educate and support career teachers as they develop into successful leaders in their classrooms, communities, and throughout the United States.

The aim of this study is to determine the level of knowledge of primary school teachers about the concept of early literacy, to determine whether this knowledge level differs according to the teachers’ gender, the type of school they graduated from and their professional seniority; to reveal the importance of early literacy skills for 1st-grade students of primary school and how to increase teachers’ early literacy knowledge levels. This research is a descriptive study in the nature of a survey model. In this research, where quantitative and qualitative research techniques are used together, simultaneous transformational mixed method was used in data collection and analysis. The study group of the research consists of 49 primary school teachers who teach the 1st-grade. Teachers were determined through simple random sampling. The analysis of the qualitative data was conducted via content analysis while the quantitative data were analyzed via independent group t-test and ANOVA in this study for which data collection was provided via a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers.

This article reviews theories of motivation in the workplace, what these theories look like in the modern workplace, and interventions designed to increase individual and system-wide organizational motivation. We explored a wide range of theories, including the expectancy theory, Maslow’s hierarchy, the motivation-hygiene theory, the equity theory, reward structures, cognitive evaluation theory, and feedback, to formulate conclusions about common organization development (OD) interventions that are meant to address the theories. Reviewed interventions include; organization structure design, achievement orientation, goal setting, job design, quality feedback, and empowerment programs. We followed a multidisciplinary integrated literature review approach to move beyond merely summarizing the literature but substantially contributing new and valuable knowledge to the fields of leadership and organization development. The research cements the need for understanding individuals’ needs and goals, the value of quality feedback, rewarding positive behavior, leading with fairness, and allowing space for autonomy.

Revisions are proposed to the taxonomic model of human motivation of Forbes (2011) in order to incorporate a heretofore missing fourth life domain, the spiritual. The growing literature on spiritual motives is systematically reviewed in accordance with literature review standards for theory development (Templier & Paré, 2018) focusing on the objective of identifying comprehensive theoretical systems that explicitly incorporate the spiritual domain as one of a limited set of human life domains. The structure of the Forbes model is contrasted with thirteen theoretical systems that explicitly incorporate the spiritual as a fourth life domain. Consistent with the Forbes model, the spiritual domain is proposed to consist of three modes of existence (Being, Doing, Having) represented as justice motivation, moral motivation, and transcendental motivation, respectively, as well as both promotion and prevention goals within each of the three motives. Empirical evidence is reviewed in support of a revised heuristic device wherein the Spiritual domain is closely linked with the Intrapsychic and Interpersonal domains, but not the Instrumental domain, resulting in a pyramidal structure and corresponding set of five testable hypotheses.

In this article, we make a case for the importance of understanding the emotional needs of employees, and we review difficulties experienced to date in doing so. We then describe a new neuropsychologically-based approach to overcoming past assessment challenges to measuring employee emotions. The new approach, called AgileBrain®, can be applied in a broad range of business situations where emotional learning is desired, and in particular can help researchers gain access to emotions that people, whether employees, leadership, or board members, can’t – or don’t want to – talk about. AgileBrain is a synthesis of two threads of scientific work: one thread arises from neuroscience findings about non-verbal image processing and involves a method for creating a dialogue directly with the emotional brains of research respondents. The other thread builds upon a comprehensive review of motivational theory, to develop a new model for systematically describing employee motives. This model is used as the foundation for a library of validated images that form a “vocabulary” of motivational-emotional stimuli, which then lets researchers interpret subjects’ responses in the AgileBrain task. Validation results for AgileBrain are presented in the second portion of this article. There, we present results conducted on employee emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which demonstrate the tremendous power of this type of emotional assessment in predicting important health and wellbeing outcomes, such as employee mental health and vulnerability to addiction.

The first months of the COVID-19 pandemic witnessed a surge of social engineering attacks. Although the pandemic is certainly not the first occurrence of socially disruptive circumstances that drive cybercriminals to action, relevant academic scholarship has remained scarce. To fill this gap in literature, and propose the analytical framework of mazephishing that places particular emphasis on the importance of credible social context in the functioning of the online scam ecosystem, we carried out a content analysis of (N=563) international news stories reporting on social engineering attacks. Our results indicate that criminals make heavy use of social context and impersonation to make scams seem more credible. Major themes used in the scam messages include health information, personal protective equipment, cures, financial relief and donations. Additionally, scammers diversify their use of mediums depending on the type of scam being perpetrated. Our analysis also shows a significant presence of principles of persuasion in the circulated scam attempts.

Over 4.1 billion internet users of the universe generate about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day; and a digital universe of 44 zettabytes will hit 2021. As the data landscape expands every second every day, the data value also increases by leaps and bound. Personal data then get revitalized for the disruptive use of location tracking, predictive policing, fraud detection, healthcare, advertising media, and entertainment. Likewise, massive amassing of data also at the same pace gives rise to some new issues regarding the Big Data effects, including privacy invasion, data breaches, and cyber threats, etc. Taking efforts for mitigating the risks of data explosion thus becomes imperative for the society we live in. Accordingly, this paper attempts to focus on the ways how the data minimization approach mitigates such risks, and how this approach as a concept is being incorporated in the legal instruments. After suggesting practical methods on how to reap benefits from the principle, the paper concludes by exploring the way out of the existing dilemmas so created in the digital transformation.

Drawing on struggles between academe as a place that historically harbours critique and new public management that fosters instrumental knowledge, I reimagine the university as a counter-space for thinking. Initially, I deploy the work of Scott Lash to show how informational capitalism suffocates critique. Notwithstanding, his solution of Informationskritik resigns itself to the monism of technoculture. I therefore turn to Jacques Derrida’s idea of the university in relation to informationalisation. To ensure its autonomy, the university is supplementary to society, yet associated by its reflexivity that is on behalf of society. Finally, I invoke Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopia, which tracks the tendency of society to instil homotopic spaces of sameness. Such a blueprint of the university as a heterotopia acts as a barometer of the critical credentials of reason that is manifest in social practices. In parallel, it carries forward Derrida’s idea for it and resuscitates a space for critical thinking.

In Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Freud introduced the death drive hypothesis, according to which “the aim of all life is death”. I trace the genealogy of this hypothesis in order to understand it as a moment in the history of modern Western societies. First, I present Freud’s metapsychology, and in particular its “economic” dimension, the death drive being central to this dimension. Secondly, I retrace the history of the concept of energy and of the formulation of the laws of thermodynamics in the nineteenth century. Energetics and thermodynamics are shown to have been important to the Freudian economic dimension. Further, I show that for nineteenth-century scientists, the concern for energy reflected a socio-economic preoccupation with the matter of scarcity. Lastly, I argue that Freud’s relationship to energy, as expressed in the death drive hypothesis, also reflected a certain relationship of Western countries to scarcity in the era of the second industrial revolution.

This is a qualitative study by which a framework to estimate relational intent between channel partners in B2B industries is proposed. This also give an integrative approach for valuation of dyads in a channel. The proposed framework needs to be empirically tested.

The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge level of primary school teachers with refugee student(s) present in their class related to classroom management and to determine whether this knowledge level varies depending on their gender, the type of school they graduated from, their seniority and whether they have received training in classroom management. The study group of this research, which is a survey model, is composed of 62 primary school teachers. In this study, “Classroom Management Knowledge Level Measurement Test” was used as a quantitative data collection tool while “Interview Form” was used as a qualitative data collection tool. Frequency, t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe multiple comparison test were used in the analysis of quantitative data, and the descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of qualitative data. The results of the study showed that the knowledge level of teachers with refugee students(s) present in their class had low knowledge level related to classroom management, that their knowledge levels differed depending on their professional seniority and whether they have received training in classroom management, and that their knowledge levels did not vary depending on the type of school they graduated and gender.

The major tenet of this inquiry was the performances on motor, play and self-care developmental milestones of the children in a nursery development center, to set forth a clear direction of research undertakings as it continually exists for quite a while. To note there has not been a single research output being done considering that is a sustaining university extension project. Hence, the data collected are baseline in nature, no less yielded important findings for further researches.

Within a research project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation the implementation of COVID-19 prevention strategies in prisons allover Switzerland were focused. This paper presents an example of the prevention strategy of a closed prison, which faced particular challenges in the implementation of social distancing measures due to its special architecture and limited space.

State repression covers several and many aspects such as wrongful detention, harassment, intimidation, torture, beating, and killings, etc. within state boundaries. This study adopted a desk survey qualitative research design to document state repression acts during five presidential elections. Secondary and primary data were gathered from Uganda Electoral Commission presidential elections results, African Elections Database, and Inter-Parliamentary Parline database. This was augmented by interviews carried out with purposively selected political activists from different political shades and members of civil society organisations. The data collected from documentary review and interviews were thematically analyzed using the content analysis method. The findings were that successive presidential elections won by National Resistance Movement (NRM) were characterised by state repression acts amounting to human rights abuse such as torture, denial of political gatherings, wrongful arrest and detention, intimidation and killings etc. drawing from the study finding, the conclusion is that NRM’s effort to shield its regime and to lure mass support to remain in power through democratic dispensation, is inseparable from state political repression. The data used in this paper is majorly qualitative.

Since the adoption of the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI) in 1990, there was an ongoing debate between Western and Muslim states regarding the compatibility of its provisions with human rights standards. The cultural divide reached its zenith when the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC, since 2008, Organization of Islamic Cooperation) sponsored a series of resolutions on the prohibition of defamation of religions in Human Rights Council. However, there appeared to be a paradigm shift in the OIC human rights discourse when it adopted a Ten-Year Program of Action (TYPoA-2005). Accordingly, the statute of organization was amended in 2008, and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms were incorporated into its objectives. The OIC, consequently, compromised with Western states on the notion of defamation of religions in the Human Rights Council. Moreover, the establishment of the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) in 2011 paved the way for the revision of the CDHRI which materialized as the Cairo Declaration of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Human Rights (CDOHR) in 2020. This article shall review the background and the internal and external factors of paradigm shift in OIC human rights politics with a descriptive and analytical method. The paper finally concludes that the paradigm change may seemingly bring OIC human rights rhetoric in alignment with UN human rights language, but it is less likely to improve human rights situation in member states.
