“…MLs are often described as working alongside their colleagues while at the same time working ‘up’ to senior leadership (Edwards-Groves et al, 2016; Grootenboer et al, 2015). They frequently lead in one context and follow in another, and as such inhabit more than one community or subculture (Grice, 2019; Irvine and Brundrett, 2016).…”

“…Others have hinted at a distinction between middle leadership and teacher leadership. Grootenboer et al (2015: 509) acknowledge that middle leadership is not the same construct as teacher leadership, which is ‘more generic and ubiquitous’, while Grice (2019: 176) suggests that MLs are not ‘rebadged teacher leaders’. Heng and Marsh (2009) explain more directly the definitional difference between the two constructs, suggesting middle leadership is conceptually aligned to teacher leaders, however, they argue that middle leadership is a narrower construct as it encompasses only formal school leadership positions with designated responsibilities, in contrast to teacher leadership that encompasses the broader capabilities of teachers who lead informally within their schools.…”

“…The findings reveal that increased accountability, resulting in the performance management of colleagues, is a significant and complex responsibility for MLs. This responsibility results in tensions between being supportive, collaborative colleagues and being quality assurers and monitors of teacher colleagues’ performances (Grice, 2019; Hall, 2018; Heng and March, 2009). This conflict has previously been noted by Bennett et al (2007) who found MLs’ preferences were for an informal approach to management of colleagues rather than a formalised one.…”

School middle leadership is a complex and increasingly important school leadership position, with research showing the significance of middle leadership to school improvement and teacher development. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyse empirical peer reviewed articles on middle leadership from 2006 to 2020, to understand how middle leaders are defined, the responsibilities they hold, the impact and professional development they are afforded, and to discover lacunae in studies to support further research. The review was conducted using Scopus and ERIC; a total of 35 articles across 14 countries were selected. Using Nvivo, narrative synthesis was utilised to analyse the articles resulting in four conclusions: 1) middle leadership is difficult to define; 2) middle leadership positions and responsibilities vary considerably and are best understood in context; 3) middle leaders directly and indirectly impact teacher practice, team development, school reform and professional learning, although there is limited direct research into their impact; and 4) middle leadership professional learning has not progressed to the point to adequately equip middle leaders for the complexity of their positions. The article highlights two distinguishable differences to separate teachers and middle leaders, and provides an operational definition, elaborated description and set of middle leadership characteristics to guide future research and policy advancement.

This paper is an outcome of the business ethics course conducted during the third semester of the MBA course and aims to examine how a subordinate employee’s response, either by raising a concern or being quiet to repeated misbehavior of the leader, impacts an organization. Primary data was collected from the employees of mid-sized IT companies in India using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Structural equation modeling has been used to analyze the data. Mediation analysis has been conducted to verify the mediating role of organizational culture. It is found that if an employee feels safe in an environment, they open up to suggestions or else suppress their thoughts to escape repercussion. The analysis shows that silence and voice in an organization have an impact on the organization’s culture. The implications of this study show that leaders violate the integrity of the organization by vandalizing the organization's objectives, outcomes, assets, and well-being of the co-employees. Previous studies have not focused on the mediating role of organizational culture on employee voice or silence.

“…here is extensive research about James Bond films from different scopes. Sometimes Bond's films are used as a resource to study very diverse issues, such as infectious diseases (Graumans et al, 2021), technology (Fritzsche & Dürrbeck, 2020), fingerprints (Galbally et al, 2019), or pedagogical leadership (Grice, 2019). Bond's films are also studied in their representations or influences in other areas as extreme sports (Eriksson &Jonasson, 2020) and alcohol and tobacco consumption (Johnson et al, 2013;Wilson et al, 2018;Wilson & Tucker, 2017;Zerhouni et al, 2020), or to analyze other spies films (Holmlund, 2019;Smith & Others, 2018).…”

The James Bond films have had great impact in society from the first one to the most recent one (1962-2021). Much research has been conducted on them, particularly about masculinity and femininity representations. Bond habitually embodies a model of masculinity that disdains women in repetitive dynamics in each film disguised as a halo of seduction. It is identified that this masculinity model has changed in the last films towards a more sensitive and less sexist one. However, the audience’s perception of Bond’s attractiveness according to this change has not been analyzed in depth. This paper aims at studying people’s perceptions of Bond’s attractiveness as the character’s way of treating women changes, particularly in the last film No time to die. To that end, film reviews and user comments in digital platforms were revised. Then, 6 interviews have been conducted. Results show that the language of ethics is used mostly to refer to the correctness of Bond’s changes. The language of desire is mainly used to express a preference for the attractiveness of the traditional model of Bond’s masculinity. A discussion about the language of ethics and the language of desire related to the coercive discourse is made proposing further research.
