Leadership is a social mechanism where action toward a common goal is affected by any person or community. The organization is in trouble without effective leadership, it has been said. Any educational institution’s success hinges greatly on how competent the leaders are. The research’s main objective is to assess the emotional competencies of women school administrators at public and private schools in Siquijor, Central Visayas, Philippines.

“…This is similar to Ethiopia's leadership. Transformational leadership style plays a positive role for academicians in Ethiopia's higher education institutions (Kebede & Demeke, 2017). Besides, Ethiopian healthcare professionals' research revealed that transformational leadership influenced employees' OCB (Abdullahi, Z. J., Ma, Z., Tehzeeb, M., Ethel, A., & Elvis, 2017).Satisfied workers are more likely to contribute and be committed to their organizations.…”

“…Hence, in public service, the role of leadership is to create an environment that is friendlier for employees and make them engage in a different role. Besides, Ethiopia had introduced the Civil Service Reform Program (CSRP) in 1996, and the government gives due attention to the humanistic approach among public servants in public service and should be replicated as core elements of leadership (Kebede & Demeke, 2017). Another research conducted in Ethiopia secondary school on perceived leadership effectiveness and relationship within academic results among students revealed that leadership might ultimately impact students' academic achievement (Dessalegn, Bekalu, & Frew, 2016;Geleta & Amsale, 2016).…”

There has been an increased recognition that more attention needs to be paid to authentic leadership as it emphasizes positive psychological behavior. Organizational citizenship behavior is crucial in the public service, and there should be friendly leadership behavior that could enable public employees to engage in helping behavior. Research in this area is of great interest and with a very active research community. The problem has recently attracted more attention due to the increasing mismanagement, scandal, and corruption in various public organizations that have contributed to the demand for authentic leadership. Although public organizations were trying to introduce various leadership styles that can enhance service delivery, what and how leadership behavior contributes to employees' Organizational Citizenship behavior (OCB) in public service is not well elaborated. The respondents were leaders from 10 public service organizations. Empirical evidence revealed that leaders' authentic leadership behavior impacted employees' organizational citizenship behavior through self-awareness, sharing information, ethical practices, good relation with subordinates, mutual understanding, and transparency. The innovative results of the study revealed that political, cultural, and social aspects influence the leadership behavior of leaders in public service. This study concluded that authentic leaders play a great role in creating a positive relationship and promoting employees' citizenship behaviors. The implications and future research of the results were discussed based on the influence of authentic leadership on employees' OCB.

“…This applies to scenarios where superior SCQ is a requirement for the overall performance of the supply chain. For instance, when supervision is lacking, which is what happens during passive-avoidant leadership, some employees generally tend to lower the expected standards of performance and apply minimum efforts in their work (Kabede & Demeke 2017). As a result, organisational systems and procedures suffer, leading to a decrease in quality standards.…”

Method:The research followed a quantitative approach in which data were collected through a survey targeting managers and professional employees of the FMCG industry in the Gauteng province. The collected data were analysed through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, Pearson correlations and regression analysis.Results: Two transactional leadership styles, namely contingent reward and management by expectation (active), were statistically significant in influencing SCQ. Passive-avoidant leadership did not predict SCQ. Supply chain quality was statistically significant in influencing both financial and non-financial business performance. Conclusion:The transactional leadership style is an important driver of SCQ within the FMCG industry. Supply chain quality is essential in stimulating optimum business performance within the FMCG industry.
