Author(s): Abeer Wadullah Baker,Zeyad Ali Abbas,Yahya Majeed,Huda Yousif Khattab,Dmytro Khlaponin / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2024

Effective leadership is essential for the success of any organization. However, the notion of excellent leadership is intricate, with diverse theoretical perspectives proposed.This paper aims to analyze three prominent leadership theories, namely transformational, servant, and authentic leadership, through a systematic review of literature. A methodical exploration of peer-reviewed articles was carried out in essential databases to locate literature on the three theories released from 2017 to 2022.Transformational leadership inspires followers through idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and personalized consideration. Servant leadership prioritizes follower interests, serving them first and foremost. Authentic leadership requires self-awareness and relational transparency between leaders and followers.While each theory provides valuable insights, combining elements from all three theories may provide the most comprehensive view of leadership excellence.

LGBT Agenda in Kazakhstan: Social and Psychological Aspect

Author(s): Dinara Matrassulova,Aliya Massalimova,Akhat Bakirov,Yelizaveta Vitulyova,Ibragim Suleimenov / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2024

The article defends the point of view according to which the increased acuteness of discussions around the LGBT agenda in Kazakhstan is due to the competition of several different socio-cultural codes, the bearers of which are citizens of Kazakhstan. It is proved that the existence of such competition is objective and is due to historical reasons. It is shown that the genesis of the widespread LGBT views reflects, among other things, the crisis of the classical monogamous family, which occurs for objective reasons. The main one of these reasons is the growing difference between the ages of social and biological maturation. It is shown that this crisis, among other things, gives rise to numerous psychological problems, forcing the population of Kazakhstan to increasingly turn to the services of practicing psychologists and psychoanalysts. It is shown that the resolution of accumulated contradictions can be realized through the introduction of modernized concepts in Kazakhstan that meet DEI. At the same time, the modernization of DEI should be based on the need to harmonize various socio-cultural codes on the platform of solving the geopolitical problems facing the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The Correlation Between Educational Levels, Fields of Study, and Program Types and the Ability to Work in a Team

Author(s): Ádám Mészáros,Ágnes Csiszárik-Kocsir / Language(s): English Issue: 7/2024

The 21st century has rewritten the map of competences. New concepts such as agility, teamwork, project approach and many more have emerged. "Team player" is a typical buzzword in CVs, a term we use to describe ourselves based on our own perceptions. However, team spirit can be influenced by many factors during our studies, not only on the practical side, but also by the nature of the training module. The project approach, and in particular teamwork in the agile methodology, is of particular importance, so its learning and development can be important already during the studies. In our study, we undertake to map out some of the background factors of teamwork as a mystique, based on the results of a primary quantitative study, using statistical methods and correlation quizzes as a function of educational levels and training characteristics.

Author(s): Tsvetan Petkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2024

O. S. Vihanski and A. I. Naumov explain the concept of „strategy”, within the framework of the so-called strategic management, define this concept as „... a long-term, qualitatively determined direction for the development of the organization in the spheres affecting it, in the means and forms of activity, a system of relationships within the organization, as well as the organization's place in the environment. The strategy also answers the question of how, through what actions the organization will be able to achieve its goals...”. This assumption is the most accurate and lies in determining the manager's personal management strategy. In this report, we will look at communication anxiety in detail.

HIERARCHIE ET MODELISATION: OU LA COMPLEXITE APPORTE SON LOT D’IMPREVISIBILITES

Author(s): Stéphane Fotis ROUME / Language(s): French Issue: 1/2023

Any crisis pushes us to conceive a situation, an entity, a general system. Conceiving requires understanding an entity (community, individual or any other entity) composed of entities that constitute it, by articulating each other mutually. One then hierarchises these different elements, and depending on the direction of the hierarchy, we perceive either a relationship of domination/submission, either the emergence of something new, unpredictable. This unpredictability is one of the characteristics of complexity. When we design, when we model, this complexity must be taken into account in order not to lose an essential element of any general system: meaning.

CUGETĂRI PSIHOLOGICE ASUPRA SEMNIFICAȚIEI LOCULUI DE ORIGINE ȘI AL APARTENENȚEI CA REFERINȚE IDENTITARE DE VALOARE

Author(s): Tatiana Roșca / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 02/2021

From the point of view of the semiological approach of “place”, the feeling of belonging of individuals to their own life context, contributes significantly to finalizing the relationship between identity, place and affiliation, as important factors of the identity anchor. Thus, in the context of research, the reference "place" implies not only the object of study, as a meaning of a certain environment, but also "place", as a tool to mediate the relationship between it and current populations, with special emphasis on the mechanisms through which the feeling of belonging is perpetuated, as well as the dimensions of the “place” in its construction.

EVALUATION OF THE SCALE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ATTITUDE AND PERCEPTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE STUDENT POPULATION

Author(s): Qufli Osmani,Teuta IDRIZI,Fjolla VESELI / Language(s): English Issue: 22-23/2024

This study aimed to develop and validate an indigenous assessment unit for measuring AI attitude and perception, focusing on its psychometric properties. The presented results are from the first study, conducted in three phases. In Phase I, internal consistency and dimensionality of the construct were assessed using a sample of 474 students (381 girls and 95 boys) aged 18-28 years, selected through convenience sampling. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed, generating items for the AI attitude and perception scale based on a 5-point Likert scale. In Phase II, the factor structure from Phase I was confirmed through structural equation modeling, yielding a 12-factor structure with 65.87% explanatory variance. Phase III established the scale's convergent validity by correlating its items with those of a predefined scale (SPAI). The final scale comprised 34 items across 5 discriminative factors, demonstrating robust psychometric properties. This scale is a significant tool for assessing AI attitudes and perceptions, particularly among student

"GENERATION ME". THE GENESIS OF GENERATION AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY

Author(s): Samira Cîrlig / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The self – centered generation or "Generation Me" (Twenge, 2014b) comprises young people who were born between 1980 and 2000. In the literature they are known as the 'Snowflake Generation' (Fox, 2016), 'Millennials' or 'Generation Y'. They are characterised by their overdeveloped egos, increased tendency of loneliness and propensity to develop new fears. In my paper I set out to find out "what causes have led to the genesis of this generation". To do this, I will first present some statistical data that I consider relevant because they show the importance of the subject studied. Then I will identify the causes that led to the emergence of this generation. I will classify these causes into two broad categories, primary and secondary, according to the importance that the studies consulted say they have in the psycho-socio-emotional development of these young people. The primary causes include the three basic institutions of any society, namely the family, the school and the Church, which are responsible for the educational process of young people. We have added to these three factors the time spent in front of a screen, be it a TV, laptop or phone, because the socio-historical context has given it particular importance. Then I will discuss the secondary causes.
