Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study investigates the role of leadership coaching in addressing transformation challenges in South Africa's mining sector. Given the slow pace of transformation, it is critical to understand how coaching can help. Background Problems: The study focuses on leadership coaching and its impact on Historically Disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA) being developed for transformation roles. The central research question is how long-term transformation in the mining industry is facilitated by leadership coaching. Novelty: Prior studies on transformation and coaching have generally been broad and not specific to the mining sector, our research fills a critical gap. The study provides a unique perspective by investigating coaching's impact on mining industry transformation. Research Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with mining industry human resources managers, coaches, and coaches. The data was analysed using thematic analysis, ensuring a robust and data-driven approach. Finding/Results: The results of the study revealed that leadership coaching effectively supports the development of HDSA individuals in transformation vacancies. However, it is critical to recognise that coaching is only one component of successful transformation; other factors are also important. Within the mining industry, there are also barriers to transformation and coaching. Conclusion: Leadership coaching emerges as a dynamic force, propelling transformative change in the mining sector. Beyond racial transformation, participants reveal its strategic use for legal compliance, social responsibility, and financial optimisation. A holistic approach, emphasising coaching's multifaceted impact on organisational goals. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of coaching's transformative role in technical industrial environments.

Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study considered neural processes of transformational leadership based on quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). Background Problems: This research aims at providing biomarkers for effective (i.e., transformational) leadership. Novelty: We considered transformational leadership on a detailed level, namely its individual-focused and group-focused sub-dimensions, to analyze the underlying brain processes. As for the individual-focused sub-dimensions of transformational leadership, we utilized innovation and performance orientation, while for the group-focused sub-dimensions, we choose vision and            team spirit. Research Methods: Fifty-two dyads, consisting of (a) student pairs and (b) supervisor-subordinate dyads, participated in a simulated role-play that was intended to be a performance review while the electrical activity of the brain was recorded. Finding/Results: Results show that the group-focused sub-dimensions of transformational leadership could be positively linked to right frontal lobe coherence and negatively linked to left frontal lobe coherence. Results showed no relation between the individual-focused sub-dimensions and frontal lobe coherence. Conclusion: The results allow for a deeper understanding of the neural processes of transformational leadership and its individual-focused and group-focused sub-dimensions, respectively.

Background Problems: Scholarly investigation on experiential learning has demonstrated its superior efficacy as a pedagogical approach compared to traditional lecture-based teaching methods. MSIB MBKM is created on this basis however, to date minimum research is available. Novelty: This study will generate insight to understand the moderating effects of mentoring in MSIB MBKM towards the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership development. Methods: Hayes process model 1 was conducted to address the research questions. Secondary data was obtained from a questionnaire by the MBKM committee to monitor and evaluate the process of MBKM. The questionnaire was administered for 4 months and obtained 4,007 responses. Finding/Results: Emotional intelligence significantly affects the leadership development of undergraduate students (comparing t statistics value to t table value; 19,367 > 1,648). Evidently, an R value of 0,430 shows that there is a 43% relationship. Therefore, it has empirically demonstrated its major impact on the enhancement of leadership skills among undergraduate students. The additional moderating contributes 44.2% to the explanation of the variance effect of the aforementioned relationship. Conclusion: This study contributes to the development of a program model for leadership development by evaluating the complementary effects of emotional intelligence and mentoring activities on optimal leadership performance.
