“…Recent research found the difference in perception of university disciplines among men and women, in particular, social value subcompetency as well as in architecture and design, business, engineering and science (V azquez-Parra et al, 2021). Furthermore, studies confirm gender differences in leadership, yet women in leadership positions in the workplace imply a favorable atmosphere for women in the organization (Miles and Naumann, 2021). In this respect, educational programs are taking into consideration, especially female students, by offering them tailored courses or degree programs to facilitate their job-studyfamily balance.…”

PurposeThe article aims to identify the determinants of the urbanization process given the magnitude of this phenomenon and also its economic, social and environmental implications and pressure on public authorities to find viable solutions in the context of sustainable development.Design/methodology/approachThe research is based on regression analysis with urbanization growth being the dependent variable and enrollment in higher education, GDP, value added by industry and female labor force as independent variables.FindingsThe main factors that favor urbanization are the increase in population, industry value-added and the female labor force. Urbanization is an objective that must be pursued differently by public authorities in developed and developing countries, given the different realities they face-population growth in developing countries, and population aging and international migration in developed countries.Research limitations/implicationsThe present research has limitations generated by the selection of independent variables, which is why in future directions, the research will consider the use of other indicators such as the number of graduates, exports as percent of GDP or migrations as a percentage of the total population. Given the complexity of the phenomenon of urbanization, future research will focus on groups of countries as they resulted from the clustering made by this article.Practical implicationsThe impact of higher education on urbanization is low, which is why the intensification of partnerships between municipal authorities and universities could be a solution that ensures not only the transfer of knowledge from academia to the public sector but also from entrepreneurs increasingly aware of the importance of promoting SDGs for urban development in the context of the challenges posed by global warming. The involvement of women in the labor market is essential for the intensification of the urbanization process. The increasing presence of women in the labor market generates an increase in the income of families, an increase in the level of education and an intensification of national and international migration. The research findings can be used by policy and decision-makers to develop appropriate urbanization and education policies and strategies.Originality/valueThe existence of inhomogeneous clusters is noticeable, which demonstrates the complexity of the urbanization phenomenon that is present in all countries around the world, but under the influence of different factors such as the export of natural resources (mainly oil) or the intensification of industrial activity. Taking into account the variables used, this study stands out in the multitude of articles published in the international mainstream.

Football coaches often play a differentiating role for the clubs, helping them to survive in a demanding mediatic, changing, and competitive environment where innovation may arise regarding leadership. This chapter seeks to unveil the perceptions of football coaches as leaders and the role of the football clubs' organizational culture in affirming this leadership. Studies on leadership constitute a broad field of organizational and management theories, highlighting the role of personality traits, as well as the organizational and social contexts surrounding the leaders' actions. As there is no significant academic literature on football coaches and leadership, it was sought to explore the coaches' perceptions as leaders, as well as the influence of the clubs' organizational culture in which they developed their activity. Based on 22 interviews with football coaches of reference clubs, this chapter highlights their difficulties, demands, and needs to deal with their professional context.

Introduction: The impact of gender and residential area on student leadership, citizenship, and democratization in Malaysian Islamic universities is a key but underexplored area within the Sustainable Development Goals for advancing the Malaysia Madani agenda. Objective: This study aims to assess how gender and residential area influence student interactions in leadership, citizenship, and democratization activities in Islamic universities. Theoretical Framework: The framework suggests that student gender and residential area may affect their involvement in leadership and civic engagement, exploring the relationship between these factors and student participation. Method: Data was collected from 593 randomly selected students across three Islamic universities using questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, with T-tests comparing groups by gender and residential area. Results: No significant gender differences were found in leadership and citizenship, though females rated slightly lower in democratization. Urban students outperformed rural students in democratization, with no major differences in leadership or citizenship by residential area. Implications: These findings can inform policies that promote equitable and inclusive educational experiences in Malaysian Islamic universities. Originality/Value: This study uniquely examines the influence of gender and residential area on student leadership, citizenship, and democratization in Islamic universities, filling a research gap and offering insights for shaping inclusive educational policies.
