    The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between organizational culture and leadership and their impacts on such organizational performance indicators, organizational commitment and job satisfaction, by reviewing some of the previous organizational culture and leadership literature to clarify the links between both variables and their impacts on performance indicators. One might assume that a better organizational culture along with appropriate leadership style can lead to a higher level of job satisfaction and stronger commitment. Accordingly, if an organization has a strong organizational culture with a suitable leadership style which is able to keep the organization integration, this will result in the strengthening of organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and significant performance enhancement.

    Which characteristics of an organization can ensure the basis for a long term, robust operation and competitiveness in our complex and dynamically changing, though less and less predictable, business environment of today? What is the role and significance of gemba when creating flexible organizational behaviour which is able to quickly adapt to changes? What changes in factors will define basically the 2020’s competitive leadership style? Which employee skills are the most important on the labour market in the 2020’s? How can leaders affect their present and future employees so that they rise to new challenges in each level of the organization? How can the conscious practice of gemba-based leading behaviour help leaders so that they can continuously improve their and their employees’ most important (new) skills ? How can leaders fit these new skills into their leadership style repertoire? This article aims to find answers to these questions.

  • Desegregation of Roma Pupils in Practice: A Realist Evaluation of the Krnov Case in the Czech Republic

    This paper examines Roma pupil segregation in the Czech Republic and explores why desegregation appears to succeed in some localities but not in others. Using a document-based realist evaluation, the study develops and refines context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) configurations for the city of Krnov, where a segregated primary school was closed in 2008 and Roma pupils were redistributed across the remaining schools. Drawing on publicly available policy analyses, reports, and media accounts, the paper identifies four linked mechanisms: dispersal that reduces school stigma, active municipal stewardship, a support infrastructure including tutoring and multi-agency cooperation, and school leadership that helps stabilise implementation. Secondary indicators suggest better-than-expected outcomes, including lower non-completion of primary education. The findings do not constitute causal proof, but they offer transferable principles and a “transfer test” for municipalities planning desegregation under different local conditions.

    The study is based on a questionnaire survey carried out in 2017-2018. It analyses the attitudes of school leaders in Szeklerland (n=238) based on two main aspects in the topics that determine the everyday school work and leadership: (1) the relationship between school and local society and (2) the social context. The importance of this topic is indicated by the changes in the role of schools, teachers and school leaders in the 21st century, which have created different challenges for rural schools and areas compared to urban ones, and which can be addressed in new ways. These new processes require a change of approach in school management, which is not only a matter of school management and education, but also of rural development. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the relevance of this process by referring to the literature and by analysing the attitudes of school leaders in Szeklerland.
