“…The value of recognizing personal and professional qualities in the efforts of leaders to enable success points to the empirical studies of the impact of leadership on student outcomes (Day et al, 2016;Sammons et al, 2014) which reveals here the interconnections of how system leadership strategies shape school and organizational processes toward their efforts to improve school conditions that, in turn, would promote better pupil outcomes. It was also important for system leaders to establish and sustain links between different leadership levels, positioning themselves and the schools they lead to mediate government reform and absorb policy (Armstrong et al, 2018;Gu et al, 2018). Nonetheless, several examples have illustrated that their core professional values and the contextual priorities of their schools were compromised in their efforts to navigate the educational policy landscape and integrate reform agendas to scale up innovation system-wide.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the role and leadership practices of executive leaders in English multi-academy trusts (MATs) considering the meaning of system-level leadership and its perceived impact on schools' improvement processes, conditions and culture.Design/methodology/approachThis paper was guided by an ecological systems approach emphasizing the interactions between the micro-, meso-, macro-, exo- and chronosystems, and was used to develop context-sensitive accounts of leadership across groups of schools. It involves interview-based multi-perspective case studies using a sample of five MATs and collecting data from 31 interviews with various school and MAT leaders.FindingsThe primacy of leadership at the executive level was central to efforts for school and MAT transformation and that was evident throughout the findings of the study. System leadership was multifaceted and was understood through the multiple layers of the organizational structure of MATs. Four major domains of practice highlight the efforts of these leaders to address complex and systemic challenges. These are setting strategic directions, developing people and organizational capacity, establishing organizational infrastructure to support schools' improvement efforts and providing instructional guidance.Originality/valueFindings reveal new empirical data about the role of executive leaders in English MATs and highlight the ways in which they seek to establish, manage and sustain school and MAT-wide improvement providing the research with a holistic idea of system leadership.

“…HL has created a wide scope of interest in scholastic and innovative networks throughout the long term (Samanta and Lamprakis, 2018;Kirkland et al, 2021). HL is the way toward getting individuals to give a valiant effort to accomplish the objective you need and can be characterized as the ability to convince others to carry on unexpectedly (Armstrong et al, 2018;Zeb et al, 2018;Naidoo, 2019). Abdalla (2015) proposes that HL is a cycle of impact on the exercises of a coordinated gathering to in its endeavors accomplish certain objectives.…”

Investors' confidence in the financial market is boosted by good corporate governance (CG). Good governance builds trust and improves an organization's financial performance (FP). However, organizations with bad management lose the trust of their stakeholders because they do not perform well financially. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of CG 89; on FP through mediating the role of humble leadership (HL) and monetary incentive (MI) as a moderator between CG and HL. Data were collected from 300 respondents who were working in various cement manufacturing organizations located in different cities of Pakistan. The analysis was performed using SPSS software version 25 and AMOS version 22 software to work out the study sample size. The result revealed that the framework of CG has a positive impact in terms of FP. Furthermore, HL positively and significantly mediates on CG, and FP is inextricably linked. However, MI acts as a moderator between CG and HL, but despite strengthening, it weakens the impact of CG' on HL. This study contributes toward the literature, specifically toward the expectancy theory literature. Finally, some theoretical and practical implications at the organizational level are offered, describing how CG influences FP within the organization, and research limitations and future directions are presented.
