THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
101-112Views:501This paper's goal is to develop an appropriate systematic literature review of the research that has investigated how ethical leadership affects employees' performance within an enterprise. The growth of multinational corporations provides a new dimension to the investigation of leadership that takes into account the effect of diverse country cultures. This systematic literature review analyzed publications and articles published within the last decade (2009- 2020). Based on the overall research of the 19 analyzed studies top managers, leaders, and supervisors are supposed to set a good example for their team members and employees by modeling ethical behavior. The effectiveness of top managers and leaders on employees and their performance has been thoroughly investigated in many research. All hypotheses were supported by the data collected from 19 papers, which showed that ethical leadership improves employees' in-role job performance. These findings have important research and practical consequences. Additionally, since ethical leadership is seen to be essential in enhancing the accepted business strategy in the achievement of organizations’ objectives and goals, this research will concentrate on the effects of an ethical leadership style on the performance of employees.

The Role of Sensory Theatre in the Field of Special Education – Results of a Systematic Literature Review
155-166Views:207This study focuses on presenting the results of a systematic literature review that examines the effects of sensory theatre in a special educational environment. The purpose of multisensory theatrical experiences is to entertain and develop the abilities of children with special educational needs, immersing them in a sensory bath and involving them in the course of the performance. The examination of the aesthetic and developmental effects of unique experiences related to sensory theatre appears in the international literature with varied terminology and a rich array of methodological recommendations. Our research was conducted based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria, which ensure the transparency of systematic literature analysis. We found 62 articles in the EBSCO Discovery Service scientific search engine. Three authors reviewed the abstracts and, if the inclusion criteria were met, exported the full texts to Zotero for content and methodological quality assessment (N=12). Our text database, consisting of 12 empirical journal articles, was further analyzed along with 2 additional studies and a textbook. According to our results, most research aligned the immersive nature of sensory theatre with the attractiveness of educational conditions, while emphasizing the importance of experience provision in inclusive education. Sensory theatre, as a unique experience and innovative method, develops children’s abilities along moods and senses, considering the specific sensory needs and learning preferences of the participants. A limitation is that relatively few empirical studies specifically examine the effect of sensory theatre in special educational settings, as the reviewed documents often only indirectly touch on special educational processes.

The Relationship between ADHD and Juvenile Delinquency, with a Special Focus on the Psychological Correlates. Systematic Literature Analysis
67-84Views:117Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterised as a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention, frequently seen in young offenders (Silva et al., 2014). The development of delinquent behaviours is significantly influenced by ADHD traits, which arise from adverse childhood experiences, comorbid conditions, and socio-environmental factors (Rutten et al., 2022; Wojciechowski, 2021). This paper explores the relationship between ADHD and juvenile delinquency, emphasizing behavioural, psychological, and social aspects. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, utilizing EBSCO Discovery Service, Science Direct, PubMed, and the snowball method. We analysed studies (n=21) including juvenile offenders diagnosed with ADHD and comparisons with non-offenders or controls without ADHD who met the specified inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute's assessment tools. Results: In the reviewed studies, symptoms of ADHD—especially impulsivity and emotional dysregulation—along with conduct disorder, substance abuse, and depression were shown to worsen these behaviours. Additionally, sociodemographic elements like low educational achievement and an adverse family environment played a role in contributing to offending. The findings indicate that ADHD serves as a significant risk factor for juvenile delinquency, interacting in complex ways with behavioural and social influences. The studies highlight the importance of early diagnosis, tailored treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation programs within the juvenile justice system to mitigate long-term risks and encourage social inclusion.
