This study examines gender differences in leadership behaviors and whether leadership training would have different effects on leadership behaviors by gender. Using data from several hundred managers of welfare and financial agencies in Denmark, we first investigate whether leadership behaviors differ between female and male leaders. After that, we conducted a year-long field experiment with managers to examine how female and male leaders respond to leadership training interventions. In general, female managers improve more from leadership training even though leadership scores for female leaders were higher before training.ISSN

Birth order effects on leadership style in school administrators: The relationship between two-dimensional educational leadership theory and Adlerian theory.This study investigated the relationship between birth order position and the two-dimensional leadership styles, initiating structure and consideration, in elementary public school administrators in the State of Arizona in correlation with Alfred Adler's (1930) Theory of Birth Order. Adler asserted: (1) that first borns acquire leadership traits emphasizing rules, authority, power, independence, traditions, organization, and a concern with status and (2) later borns acquire leadership traits emphasizing social activities, a sense of community, and warmth in individual and group cooperation, thus, less emphasis on authority and rules. Therefore, the first born is more likely to be structure-oriented, while the later born is more likely to be consideration-oriented in leadership style. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a difference would be found between first and later born elementary public school administrators in the State of Arizona and the two-dimensional educational leadership styles, structure and consideration. No previous research has examined birth order effects on leadership style in school administrators, and few studies have examined different occupational groups. Controversial findings by Chemers (1970), Dagenais (1979), and Greene (1987) indicated that patterns do not hold across different occupational groups. This study contributes to the need for further research and a stronger theoretical argument regarding the influence of birth order on leadership style. The subjects for this investigation were 232 public elementary school principals. Data were collected and analyzed using Fleishman's (1969) Leadership Opinion Questionnaire (LOQ) and the Personal Leadership Data Form. Through the use of descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlations, it was determined that there were no significant differences between first and later borns in structure and consideration. Thus, concurring with Dagenais (1979), birth order did not seem to be related to the two-dimensional leadership styles. The findings of this study do not support Adler's (1930) Theory of Birth Order.

Perceptions of successful elementary school principals of effective school leadership practices: A portrait of school leadershipThis study investigated the perceptions of 11 successful elementary school principals from seven school districts in southern Arizona. The principals were identified by their district superintendent or assistant superintendent as exemplifying the eight characteristics of successful principals described by Joekel, Wendel and Hoke (1994). Qualitative methodology was used to inductively analyze and describe response data collected through in-depth interviews. These interviews consisted of open-ended questions regarding: effective leadership, school culture, vision, school improvement, empowerment, staff motivation, shared decision making, teacher instructional leadership, conflict, the changing nature of the principalship, and educational administration pre-service education. These perceptions were then compared to descriptions of effective practice as described in current literature on transformational leadership, leadership standards accepted by the National Policy Board for Educational Administration, and current literature on educational administration pre-service reform efforts. The following are some findings that emerged from this study. These successful principals placed the needs of students in the center of all their decision making. This appeared to be the prime transformational behavior that awakened intrinsic motivation among staff members. Moreover, they demonstrated transformational leadership behaviors that included meeting intrinsic needs of followers, visionary leadership, building collaborative school cultures, and putting teachers in roles of instructional leadership. However, despite the presence of these behaviors, it appeared that they had a poor objective understanding of the transformational epistemology. Specific recommendations were made to better prepare school leaders to be the transformational leaders that researchers believe are necessary to successfully lead schools as we approach the turn of the century. The principals in this study believed their pre-service educational administration program was inadequate in preparing them for their role as principals. They believed pre-service programs need to define a body of knowledge and create a cohesive curriculum to teach the skills that administrators need to know to be effective leaders in their schools. Specific recommendations were made to improve educational administration graduate programs.

Seeing eye to eye: can leadership training align perceptions of leadership?There is a huge gap between how employees see leaders' behavior and how leaders see themselves regardless of sector and functional area. Because this gap can be a serious problem in managing organizations, scholars have investigated how the gap can be reduced. This article focuses on leadership training and tests whether and under what conditions it narrows the gap. Using quantitative and qualitative data from a randomized field experiment with several hundred Danish leaders from public and private organizations, we find that a yearlong leadership training course decreases the differences between leader and employee perceptions of transformational and transactional leadership behaviors in public sector organizations but not in private organizations. The findings imply that leadership training can be one way for public organizations to align perceptions of leadership.
