This study looked at the relationship between leader-member exchange (LMX), transformational leadership, and terminal and instrumental value system congruence between leader and follower, and their relative impact on four outcomes, using a sample of 100 pairs of managers and subordinates from a non-profit organization in the United States. The four outcomes studied are perceived effectiveness o...

The challenges confronting Malaysia’s Research Universities in their futuristic movement towards world Class University are enormous. Leadership styles employed in higher education institutions play crucial role in achieving lecturers’ job satisfaction. This paper examines the influence of transformational leadership style employed by departments heads on improving lecturers’ job satisfaction. ...

Transformational design is a promising design methodology which combines correctness by construction and interactive design. In this design methodology the design steps are behaviour preserving transformations of one design representation into another. The representations used in transformational design need to have formal semantical models in order to prove the correctness, the behaviour prese...

This paper presents work on technology for transformational proof and program development, as used by window inference calculi and transformation systems. The calculi are characterised by a certain class of theorems in the underlying logic. Our transformation system TAS compiles these rules to concrete deduction support, complete with a graphical user interface with command-language-free user i...

program rather than in the implementation phase on the concrete program. Several researchers have espoused an approach which we will call Transformational Implementation (TI) , in which equivalence-preserving transformations are successively applied to the abstract program to effect such an optimization. The key to this approach is that while optimizing transformations are selected by the progr...

A key role of clinicians is to motivate their patients to initiate and maintain beneficial health behaviors. This article integrates research on transformational leadership, clinician-patient communication, and health behavior to introduce a novel approach to understanding and improving clinicians' effectiveness as motivators. We describe three dominant clinician styles or patterned approaches ...

Although it is generally assumed that leadership traits are linked to positive outcomes, it is unclear how they might be related to less desirable health behaviors. In a sample of 623 undergraduate students, a series of structural equation models examined the relationship between transformational leadership traits and risky health behaviors (i.e., alcohol consumption and hooking up). The models...

introduction: knowledge is a critical resource for organizations working in dynamically competitive environments. in any organization, leaders who have the power to incite and influence knowledge management processes. nevertheless, there is lack of empirical evidence from previous studies on examining this relationship. in view of this, the current study examined the relationship between transf...

Historical reference' is the ability to refer to information in prior states of a program's computation history. We use program transformation to achieve reasonably efficient implementations of specifications making use of historical reference. These implementations remember sufficient information as they execute, and use conventional queries of this remembered information in place of the histo...
