“…Making the expenditure on health matters cash adequate to meet the financial obligations of public sector organizations operating under the expenditure on health matters system and at the same time not allowing actual overhead costs to exceed budgetary limits, is of utmost importance. Sufficiency of expenditure on health matters cash does not mean the existence of surplus cash as this can lead to idle expenditure on health matters cash (Uoayang, Asuquo & Akpan, 2020; Effiong, Udoayang & Asuquo, 2011; Akpan, 1979;Appleby, 1981) [13,6,2,3] . Adequacy in this context is an optimal concept because it can only be meaningful expressed in relation to the level of activity.…”

This study surveyed degree to which the Government control expenditure incurred, and performance of health institutions to regulate provisions of health services to the general public. The research was centered on expenditure control in the public health institutions to ensure timely rendering of health services to the masses. Other connected notions like government expenditure control and productivity processes in the public health were also appraised. The data were derived mainly from secondary sources and verbalized dialogues. A distinct element ANOVA was used to decide if there was any substantial variance in the mean values of expenditure, the reviewed real expenditure incurred, and performance in provision of health services to the people in Cross River State while the multiple linear regressions model was used to determine the cause effect of the revised real expenditure incurred and performance of health institutions of provision of health services in Cross River State. The study discovered that government real expenditure incurred and quality of performance were ineffectual; the revised actual overhead cost incurred and quantities of health services were effective while performances in the various health institutions were expressively dissimilar from their overhead cost provisions. Centered on these findings, the study suggested that: actual overhead cost should be frequently revised; the yearly expenditure provision or budget should be shared into functional areas and short periods; efficiency and effectiveness in public health expenditure usage should be measured; the management of the various health institutions should take part in overhead cost budget execution and be made answerable for its success or otherwise; and substantial adversarial variances between actual and standard performance should be quickly considered and eradicated.

“…Some thinkers in public administration presaged a distinction as they went beyond mere structure and function and discussed issues of group and social pressures (Follett, 1998; Roethlisberger, Dickson, & Wright, 1941), private and public leadership complexities (Appleby, 1945), informal culture and consent of authority (Barnard, 1938), and perhaps most interestingly, values (Appleby, 1952) and their place in public, private, personal, and organizational life (Selznick, 1957; Waldo, 1980).…”

The refounding movement emerged the same time as Leadership Studies. As leadership practices were conflated with management practices, much of what might be useful in the refounding in the literature on leadership was either (a) simply missed or (b) modestly addressed by these scholars. Any reasserting of the refounding should consider the lessons of leadership and especially of the leadership studies thread dealing with values leadership theory. This article encourages theory building and a model as it traces the development of leadership studies, leadership research during the refounding project, and the increase of leadership research in the field.

“…A total of 29 specific criteria were developed jointly by researchers from the seven countries involved in the study on the basis of the characteristics of the individual competency domains, with each criterion being coded (see below). The individual items under knowledge-based competencies were derived from an analysis of the most common thematic areas tackled by leading standard international textbooks in the areas of economics and business administration (see, for example, Appleby, 1994;Mankiw, 2001). The items under 'Self-competencies with a focus on entrepreneurial thinking and acting' are based on the EU definitions of key competencies for lifelong learning (European Parliament and Council, 2006) and on current approaches to entrepreneurship education (see, for example, Bader, Keiser, & Unger, 2007).…”

This paper presents a comparative research project on pre-vocational education in lower secondary schools in seven European countries. The primary aim of the study was to better understand how the formal pre-vocational education curriculum is interpreted and shaped by individual teachers. The countries covered are Austria, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Portugal and Scotland. Two research methods have been used. First, a content analysis of the relevant curricula was carried out, focussing on how, and to what extent, pre-vocational education competencies are embedded in the official curriculum in the seven countries covered by the study. Second, 75 teachers took part in qualitative expert interviews about their implementation of the relevant curriculum. This research builds upon previous studies in education and employment and in particular, on a theoretical framework that explores the differences between the 'prescribed' curriculum and the 'enacted' curriculum. This study will argue that, although it is possible to identify a distinct pre-vocational curriculum within each region in the seven countries, this curriculum is, in practice, taught very differently within the schools and that the differences in curriculum implementation can be explained, amongst other factors, by the availability of resources and the initial and further training of teachers.
