Leadership and the Ethics of Influence

Leadership and the Ethics of Influence

How do leaders influence others? Although they sometimes appeal directly to good reasons which we associate with rational persuasion leaders also use guilt pressure flattery bullying and rewards and punishment—all to get the behaviors that they want. Even when leaders refrain from outright lying they are nevertheless known to practice something approaching perhaps reaching the level of manipulation. Influence therefore presents a serious ethical problem across leadership contexts. Leadership and the Ethics of Influence argues that influence puts leaders at risk of using people. It is generally disrespectful of autonomy to figure out what makes people tick in an effort to handle them. In contrast with physical force influence works through agency not around it. Despite this feature of influence—and to a large extent because of it—the everyday influence associated with leadership is often morally troublesome. What matters morally is not only whether agency is bypassed or overridden but also who is ultimately in control. This book uses philosophy and leadership studies to show how leaders across different contexts can be justified in getting followers to do things. Connecting moral theory to leadership theory and especially to charismatic leadership authentic leadership transforming leadership and ethical leadership this book is essential reading for leadership scholars students and practitioners.

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning provides a comprehensive overview of what is currently known about prior language knowledge and experience in second language learning. Three bodies of research are critically reviewed to achieve this goal: (i) theories of language learning that attribute critical roles to prior experience in explaining second language development (ii) empirical studies of second language learning that have investigated roles for crosslinguistic influence and (iii) instructional studies that have supported second language learning by addressing the negative effects of crosslinguistic influence. Using this foundation new research directions and theorization in the field of second language acquisition are proposed. This book will serve as an excellent resource for students and scholars with interests in (instructed) second language learning applied linguistics cognitive psychology psycholinguistics and language education.

Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

In a social setting where speakers with several languages interact extensively a major source of variation in Colloquial Singapore English comes from the complex interaction between crosslinguistic influences and various social and linguistic factors. By unifying both social and linguistic aspects of the phenomenon through the use of multivariate analyses like logistic regressions and Poisson regressions this book represents a novel approach to the study of crosslinguistic influence in Colloquial Singapore English. As multivariate analyses provide us with information regarding the relative strengths of each social and linguistic factor they are useful tools that allow us to have a more nuanced understanding of crosslinguistic influence in contact situations. Linguistic features from a variety of linguistic domains – morphology semantics and discourse – will be quantified and statistical analyses will be run in R to determine the degree to which various social and linguistic factors affect the extent of crosslinguistic influence. Well-known Singlish features like the optionality of past tense and plural marking the unique meanings of already got and one and discourse particles lah leh and lor are analyzed using this approach. The statistical modeling of these features is a first step towards creating a unified framework to understanding crosslinguistic influence. | Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence

Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence

This book first published in 1991 examines in detail superpower-client relations in the Middle East. The Middle East with its protracted and seemingly insoluble conflict and complex patterns of loyalty and hostility is the ideal setting for the study of such relationships. Using the USSR and Syria and the USA and Israel as case studies this book illuminates the extent of superpower influence on client states but also the real constraints on their exercise of that influence. In analysing specific contexts over this period the authors advance that tension between goals and constraints often favours the client state and that superpower relations are not those of dominance and subordination but bargaining relations in which clients have great leverage. | Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence
