Abstract

The article analyses the importance of cybersecurity in schools and the role of the school principal in ensuring a safe digital environment.

The study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with principals of general education schools. The research results revealed that educational institutions are increasingly facing cyberthreats, such as phishing emails, malicious links, or misleading messages about alleged dangers. These threats can disrupt the educational process, pose risks to data security, and damage the institution’s reputation. The findings show that school leaders’ activities in ensuring cybersecurity focus on organising preventative and interventional measures, mobilising the community, developing internal procedures and response algorithms, and cooperating with institutions. It was observed that principals often lack experience and feel psychological stress and legal responsibility for potential consequences. Different perspectives on the principal’s role emerged, from that of a key leader to one in which there is a shared community responsibility model. However, there is agreement that effective cybersecurity assurance is based on the principal acting as an educator, threat manager, prevention organiser and community mobiliser, actively involving the entire school community in building a culture of security.

Abstract

The article analyses the leadership of managers of educational institutions in developing participatory decision-making in organisational

management. The aim of the study is to empirically reveal how leaders lead in constructing and implementing participatory

decisions, and what significance they acquire in management practice. The study is based on a phenomenological approach, applying

a qualitative research strategy and semi-structured interviews with six managers of educational institutions. The results reveal that

participatory decisions function as process-based management tools that strengthens the organisational culture, trust and employee

engagement, contributing to the effectiveness of management. However, their development is constrained by structural factors in

the educational system, time limitations, and internal cultural restraints, such as employee passivity. It was found that the leader’s

leadership is an essential factor determining the success of participatory management in the face of structural contextual and internalorganisational PDM risks.

Journal: Regional Formation and Development Studies Volume 49, Issue 2 (2026), pp. 6–18

Abstract

The article presents the opinions of preschool educational institution principals on the role of leadership in fostering a positive school

climate. During the qualitative research, which involved semi-structured interviews with eight principals, it was found that mutual cooperation with the community, active participation in joint activities, and shared responsibility and decision-making, promote teamwork

and create emotional security and a positive school climate. The research also found that preschool educational institution principals

must constantly develop and improve their leadership skills, creating mutual relationships, trust, open communication and common

agreements in the institution. The research revealed that a clear institutional structure and a safe and inclusive environment directly impact

the school community’s ability to foster a positive climate. Leadership qualities such as respect, openness and shared responsibility

encourage the school community to engage in activities that foster a positive school climate. The principals recognise unanimously that

leadership is not a spontaneous process; it is cultivated by the entire school community, through collaborative initiatives and teacher

involvement in decision-making processes, as well as by fostering a positive climate in the preschool educational institution.

Abstract

Nowadays it is not enough to be a good manager, because that model of managing creates a distance between the administration

and the employees in an organisation. Leadership is a new category of managing an organization, and it creates a closer relationship

between the staff. The leader must have certain qualities, one of which is good communication. It makes for a reliable communicative

network connecting the management, colleagues and employees. Communication is an important factor in an organisation’s activity

and in the relationships between the staff. The concept of leadership is a complex concept, as it is constantly changing, depending on

global changes relating to the management of organisations. Modernity requires a different attitude and behaviour from leaders: they

become guides, mobilisers of the team with which they pursue common goals. In order to achieve common goals together, a leader

must communicate properly. The ability to gather teams and gain their trust is important for effective communication by a leader, so

that communication goes smoothly, and this allows for achieving the common goals of the organisation.

Abstract

Having acknowledged the importance of leadership, it seems there is lack of research in the field of developing the leadership skills of healthcare workers. Therefore, this article aims to answer the problem question: what leadership abilities of healthcare workers are important, and what are the opportunities to develop them in healthcare institutions? Theoretical insights and quantitative research have been used to answer this question. The questionnaire survey of healthcare workers conducted confirms that the expression of leadership is inseparable from motivation, being an example, help and cooperation, the ability to mobilise the team to act in one direction and achieve the set goals. The study shows that the development of leadership skills is achieved through personal development, the formation of positive attitudes towards changes, the dissemination of leadership competence, independent activity, and mutual interaction. The study is significant in that it can help understand factors for the improvement of the subject under consideration, and make a targeted intervention in ongoing processes of the development of leadership skills, improving them and achieving better results in the development of the leadership skills of healthcare workers.

The aim of the research is to analyse the dispositional topic of the speeches in question: to determine and generalise the most common elements of rhetorical composition. Fifty speeches by American business leaders, delivered on various occasions in the period 1981 to 2019, have been chosen and analysed in this article. The research is intended to answer the question whether contemporary orators still follow the principles of structural composition proposed by Classical rhetorical theory, and to observe how dispositional topics are changing with regard to orally delivered speeches.
