Keywords:
Leadership, ICT; e-Leadership; e-skills; Data AnalysisAbstract
Over the last two decades, there is growing up interest on
research in educational leadership. Current conditions favour a shift
towards a form of leadership "that shapes an environment built into
collaborative culture and open to improvements, trials and challenges.
Higher education leadership is of interest. According to research,
universities are not completely out of this need for effective leadership
as they face similar challenges with any other organization and the
effective development of university leadership is important to the
normal function and success of higher education. Among the different
forms of educational leadership, the implementation of transformational
leadership in higher education is recognized as the most appropriate, as
it focuses on the division of leadership among academic members who
have enough abilities to manage collectively the range of leadership
responsibilities required in different contexts. Transformational
leadership academics can manage the university effectively, leading the
organization to maximize organizational results. This view is also being
reflected in our study, which focused on the degree of three specific
leadership styles (transformation, trade and leadership to avoid or not
lead) by members of the Senate of Technological Educational Institute of
Western Greece. Our findings show that the leadership outcome has a
strong positive correlation with transformational leadership and a large negative correlation with passive - to avoid leadership, it was confirmed
that the higher degree of transformational leadership implies greater
efficiency and satisfaction for workers, and the high degree of
transformational leadership co-exists with the great degree of
implementation of digital leadership.
