Capitalizing upon Implicit Leadership Theories (ILTs) and Leader-member exchange (LMX), this research aims to explore the relationship between the congruence of employees’ ILTs and those traits of their managers and employees’ supportiveness, resistance and behavioral creativity for change. After distributing three questionnaires at three points among teachers, 296 participants completed all th...

this paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in barr exact mal’tsev and more general categories. galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...

Imai and Iséki [1] introduced the concept of BCK-algebra as a generalization of notions of set difference operation and propositional calculus. The notion of pseudo-BCK algebra was introduced by Georgescu and Iorgulescu [2] as generalization of BCK-algebras not assuming commutativity. Hájek [3] introduced the concept of BL-algebras as the general semantics of basic fuzzy logic (BL-logic). Iorgu...

For distributive double p-algebras, a close connection is established between being congruence coherent and congruence regular. Every congruence regular distributive double p-algebra is congruence coherent. Even though every congruence coherent distributive double p-algebra that has either a non-empty core or finite range is congruence regular, an example is given that is congruence coherent bu...

In this paper we investigate some properties of congruences on ternary semigroups. We also define the notion of congruence on a ternary semigroup generated by a relation and we determine the method of obtaining a congruence on a ternary semigroup T from a relation R on T. Furthermore we study the lattice of congruences on a ternary semigroup and we show that this lattice is not generally modular...

To every morphism of X∗ a congruence fR on X ∗, called kernel congruence, and defined by ufRv iff f(u) = f(v) can be associated. We characterize morphisms having a commutative kernel congruence and, introducing the notion of the index of a morphism, we give a classification of the morphisms of X∗. Moreover, a congruence with special properties, called hp-congruence is considered; every kernel c...
