This book was released on 2014 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges have developed into vital resources for affordable, easy access, high quality education. Community college instructors with previous leader experience possess the credentials needed to teach their curricula and to lead learning experiences in the classroom. Researchers have found that instructors who display transformational leadership qualities can influence student actions, awareness, and learning outcomes. This study was conducted to explore community college faculty who possess transformational leadership qualities in relation to student extra effort, student perception of instructor effectiveness, and overall satisfaction with the instructor. The conceptual framework is the full range leadership theory which is one of the most broadly used comprehensive leadership theories. The measurement tool used was Avolio and Bass's (2004) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), which measures nine factors of leadership skills through a quantitative survey. These findings present support for the recognition of the value of transformational leadership in the community college environment. Consistent with the findings of this study, transformational leadership has been viewed as the most revered leadership model in the full range leadership theory. Instructors have the ability to integrate critical components of transformational leadership behaviors to impact the student experience in the classroom, resulting in higher levels of student outcomes of extra effort, effectiveness, and satisfaction. The findings add to the body of literature and provide insight into the leadership skills of community college instructors from previous business experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization and emerging technologies have had a profound impact on the U.S. economy, making a highly skilled workforce a national priority. The community college, with its great number, openness to nontraditional students, and key role in workforce development, is poised to become a more prominent contributor to America's success in the new economy. However, new technologies, reduced budgets, and higher levels of accountability are adding to the challenges facing community colleges. These new challenges have brought about the need for a different kind of educational leader, one who can manage the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders, empower others to accept responsibility, and get results without being autocratic. Such leaders are known as transformational leaders. In contrast, transactional leaders focus on the efficient running of the system within the context of existing organizational constraints. Transformational leaders are compared with transactional leaders in this investigation. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between transformational leadership factors, transactional leadership factors, and measures of community college performance. Forty-six North American community colleges participated in the study. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for this investigation. Information on the leadership behaviors of college presidents was collected using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire. Information on college effectiveness was collected using the Institutional Performance Survey. Both leadership and effectiveness data were based on faculty perceptions at the respective colleges. The relationship between presidential leadership and college effectiveness was evaluated using multiple regression analysis. A subset of presidents in the study was interviewed to achieve a better understanding of the social complexities associated with community college leadership. Transformational leadership was shown to be a better predictor of organizational effectiveness than transactional leadership for this sample. Based on the interviews, transformational presidents rely more on strong personal convictions, open communication, and trust to establish and articulate their vision than do their transactional counterparts. Leadership behaviors of the president predict only a portion of the overall performance of a college. Many other factors contribute to college performance, including the culture of the college and the conditions under which a leader assumes the presidency.

Book excerpt: This book provides the most thorough view available on this new and intriguing dimension of workplace psychology, which is the basis of fulfilling, productive work. The book begins by defining work engagement, which has been described as ‘an opposite to burnout,’ following its development into a more complex concept with far reaching implications for work-life. The chapters discuss the sources of work engagement, emphasizing the importance of leadership, organizational structures, and human resource management as factors that may operate to either enhance or inhibit employee’s experience of work. The book considers the implications of work engagement for both the individual employee and the organization as a whole. To address readers’ practical questions, the book provides in-depth coverage of interventions that can enhance employees’ work engagement and improve management techniques. Based upon the most up-to-date research by the foremost experts in the world, this volume brings together the best knowledge available on work engagement, and will be of great use to academic researchers, upper level students of work and organizational psychology as well as management consultants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deeper Learning in Leadership is a resource that is designed to show how leadership potential can be both broadened and deepened in our colleges and universities. Author Dennis Roberts proposes a new approach to learning about leadership development in higher education that recognizes innovative strategies are needed for the increasingly complex issues we face, both in higher education and in the broader landscape beyond the campus. He advocates that fostering deeper leadership will require educators to take a critical look at the organizational models and processes that characterize most contemporary colleges and universities. Roberts includes new models of learning and leadership, and provides summaries of widely used leadership theories as well as theories that are not as well known. He proposes a new perspective of leadership and a process of discovering leadership potential principles that educators can use to deepen students’ experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the benefits of higher education compare with its costs, and how does this comparison vary across individuals and institutions? These questions are fundamental to quantifying the productivity of the education sector. The studies in Productivity in Higher Education use rich and novel administrative data, modern econometric methods, and careful institutional analysis to explore productivity issues. The authors examine the returns to undergraduate education, differences in costs by major, the productivity of for-profit schools, the productivity of various types of faculty and of outcomes, the effects of online education on the higher education market, and the ways in which the productivity of different institutions responds to market forces. The analyses recognize five key challenges to assessing productivity in higher education: the potential for multiple student outcomes in terms of skills, earnings, invention, and employment; the fact that colleges and universities are “multiproduct” firms that conduct varied activities across many domains; the fact that students select which school to attend based in part on their aptitude; the difficulty of attributing outcomes to individual institutions when students attend more than one; and the possibility that some of the benefits of higher education may arise from the system as a whole rather than from a single institution. The findings and the approaches illustrated can facilitate decision-making processes in higher education.
