Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the different levels of transformational leadership between male and female principals and their relationships with teachers' Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) in Malaysian secondary schools. In total, 477 teachers from various secondary schools were randomly selected as respondents (218 are working under female principals, while 259 of them are under male principals). This study revealed that the respondents agree that male principals practice transformational leadership higher than female principals. However, the female principals were highly influential on the teachers’ IWB compared to their male counterparts. This study provides a glimpse of the teachers' innovative behavior improvement resulted from transformational leadership by male and female school principals.

Abstract

Individuals with choleric temperaments easily get angry and can be problematic if not expressed appropriately. The purpose of this study was to identify gender differences in anger expressions among secondary school students. Respondents were secondary school students in four states in the Northern region of Malaysia. A total of 3348 students were involved, including 1,800 males and 1,548 females. Respondents aged between 13 and 16 were randomly selected from 20 secondary schools. Descriptive analyses and t-test were used to identify anger expressions among secondary school students. Findings showed that 780 respondents agreed that they are hot-tempered, while 2568 others did not. From the 780 hot-tempered respondents, 370 are males and 410 are females. A total of 3160 from the 3348 respondents did not meet their school counsellors for counselling sessions when they had anger problems. The findings also revealed a significant difference in four types of anger expressions between male and female students. They were in aggressive, verbal, intrinsic anger expression, and intrinsic anger control. The findings revealed that school counsellors need to equip students with specific, creative, and innovative interventions to cope with different anger expression.

Abstract

Talent identification (TID) in sports has been found to be heavily influenced by the expertise and judgment of the coach. However, the factors that inform this judgment have been found to be complex and understudied, especially in the sport of fencing. Inconsistencies have also been found in the concept and construct of TID in the development programs of young athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the essential criteria that inform TID in young male fencers aged between 12 and 15 years and to describe the criteria in the selection of young athletes to a fencing club. A qualitative research methodology was employed in this study. In this research, six male coaches from professional clubs affiliated with the Iraqi Fencing Federation were interviewed. The results of this study revealed that technical, tactical, and mental factors, especially fencing ability, decision-making capacity, and intrinsic motivational factors, were found to be essential in TID. Physiological, physical, and anthropometric factors were also found to be of little importance in TID. In conclusion, TID in young fencers needs to be informed by a holistic approach that considers different dimensions of development. Further research in this area needs to be conducted to refine the criteria in TID.
