Stress has become innate to all occupations and other aspects of life. The term -stress' can be perceived in various ways like environmental pressure, strain which an individual encounters, unpleasant interactions between an individual and the circumstances, etc Halkos and Bousinakis, 2010 . Usually, at work place, the unmatched job requirement and an individual capability create a pressure or emotional disturbance which is perceived differently by every individual thus making stress a very subjective element Michie, 2002 . In modern times, the definition of a stress is more related to the personal experience of an individual that is caused due to the pressures and demands of the workplace Blaug, Kenyon and Lekhi, 2007 . The stress can significantly impact the ability and performance of an individual as well as their perception on own's capability. Studies have associated different types of stressors, such as organizational factors, psychological distress with the performance of an individual. Further, the level of stress in respondents depends upon their age, qualification, position in the organization, type of work creative or routine , etc. The field of higher education is also no exception to stress. On account of the growth in number of institutions, enrolment rate, evolving higher standards of education and competition in the job market, institutions of higher learning are expected to turn out competitive and more stressful. In the current study, the researcher tries to analyze factors leading to stress and its impact on productivity with special reference to teachers in higher education. Bharathi. A | Dr. H.

Organisations both in the private and public sector across the globe rely on their workforce for optimum productivity which will in turn result to organisational efficiency. In this case, the need for ensuring employee job satisfaction becomes a matter of necessity to every organisation. Though, studies have been conducted by various researchers and scholars in this area, there is however the need to conduct more studies on job satisfaction and performance of an employee since the employees are believed to be an indispensable part of an organisation. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and performance of non-academic staff of Bauchi State University Gadau Nigeria (BASUG). Dissatisfaction is believed to be one of the major factors that demotivates and demoralise employee in the workplace which can result to lower productivity thereby affecting the overall performance of the organisation. Consequently an aggregate of two hundred and seventy questionnaires were distributed non- academic staff of BASUG based on systematic random sampling and data collected is analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The outcome of the analysis depicts that there is positive and significant relationship between job satisfactions on the performance of non- academic staff of the University. The study will serve as a policy guide to the management of the Nigerian Universities in areas relating to employee performance improvement through job satisfaction and it will also further make an impetus the field of organisational behaviour and human resource management

Abstract This study examined the structural relationships
among perceived school support, transformational leader-
ship, teachers’ work engagement, and teachers’ knowledge
creation practices. It also investigated the mediating effects
of transformational leadership and work engagement in
explaining the association between perceived school support
and knowledge creation practices. Samples included 284
career and technical education teachers in the United States.
Structural equation modeling was employed. Perceived
school support was positively associated with transforma-
tional leadership and teachers’ work engagement, but had no
direct impact on knowledge creation practices. Transfor-
mational leadership was found to affect knowledge creation
practices, but not work engagement of teachers. Although a
supportive school climate had no direct relationship with
knowledge creation practices, it indirectly affected this
outcome variable through transformational leadership and
teachers’ work engagement. The results suggest that in order
to increase teachers’ knowledge creation activities, a sup-
portive school climate should be provided with efforts to
improve teachers’ work engagement and transformational
behaviors of the principal.

Introduction
As the world has transformed from the industrial age to the
knowledge era, creating new and innovative knowledge is
becoming increasingly important to organizations that want
to build a competitive advantage and maintain high per-
formance (Ichijo and Nonaka 2007). No matter what
business one finds oneself in, a critical issue is how to
establish organizational environments that encourage and
support employees to be engaged in knowledge creation
activities. Public schools are no exception. To achieve
school reform and improve performance, it is essential for
teachers to generate innovative knowledge that improves
work processes and makes teaching and learning in schools
more effective (McCharen et al. 2011; Viviano 2012).
The current study focuses on career and technical edu-
cation (CTE) schools, which have long been stigmatized as
low-performing institutions with second-class students.
They have generally been viewed ‘‘the track for low-
achieving, non-college bound students (Palmer and Gaunt
2007, p. 35)’’ and tend to enroll greater number of minority,
special needs, and low socioeconomic students who are more
likely.

The Efficacy of Executive Coaching in
Times of Organisational Change

ABSTRACT Executive coaching is often used in times of organisational change to help executives
develop the psychological and behavioural skills needed to focus on reaching their work-related
goals whilst simultaneously dealing with the turbulence associated with organisational change.
Despite its widespread use, little research has explored the impact of executive coaching during
periods of organisational change. This within-subject study used both quantitative and qualitative
measures to explore the impact of executive coaching during a period of organisational change
on 31 executives and managers from a global engineering consulting organisation. Participation
in the coaching was associated with increased goal attainment, enhanced solution-focused
thinking, a greater ability to deal with change, increased leadership self-efficacy and resilience,
and decrease in depression. The positive impact of coaching generalised to non-work areas such
as family life. Recommendations are made for the measurement and design of executive coaching
programmes.
KEY WORDS: Executive coaching, organisational change, leadership self-efficacy, solution-
focused thinking
Introduction
Organisational turbulence has increasingly become part of the everyday experi-
ence in organisations in the contemporary Western commercial world. Organis-
ational turbulence is defined as nontrivial, rapid, and discontinuous change in
an organisation, brought about by events such as restructurings, downsizings,
sales, and spin-offs of assets and acquisitions, the effects of which are often
experienced as disconcerting (Cameron et al., 1987).

Whereas in the last century organisational change tended to be part of desig-
nated mergers and acquisitions or pre-planned cultural development initiatives
(Gaughan, 2010), since 2000 the rate and unpredictability of organisational
change appear to have escalated, resulting in greater demands and stresses
being placed on managers and executives (Sablonnière et al., 2012). Such econ-
omic uncertainty and organisational turbulence have been particularly evident
since the 2007 Global Financial Crisis.

Abstract
Distributed leadership proposed in the field of leadership studies for the improvement of
organizational effectiveness. Job stress is the work situation that can affect the organizational
performance. Thus, these studies carried out to measure the influence of distributed leadership
on job stress. Studies on distributed leadership and job stress are scarce especially in technical
and vocational education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the influence of
distributed leadership on job stress. The quantitative approaches used in this study. The sample
of the study comprises of 359 educators from technical and vocational education. Data
collected through instruments known as the Distributed Leadership Instrument (DLI) and
Teachers Stress Inventory (TSI). Results shows that distributed leadership and job stress are in
moderate level in technical and vocational education. The findings also revealed that
distributed leadership has inverse and significant influence on job stress. This shows that
distributed leadership able to reduce job stress. Further studies should be carried out to discuss
more on the distributed leadership influences.

1. Introduction
Education system is facing changes due to requirement and demands. This changes is in the
line with the globalization. Ministry of Education plays a very important role in educational
changes. The aim of education changes is to improve the quality of education (Abd. Ghafar,
2011). Education had undergone many changes with the development of national policies.
National policies expand due to the improvement to ensure the needs of people (Mior, 2011).
The implementation of changes will alter the structure of programme’s or practice to better
than previous (Mohd Izham & Norzaini, 2009). Implementation of change is a process that
requires sharing and distributing leadership style. Leadership is an important aspect of an
organization to achieve the goals, vision, mission and objectives of the organization (Baharom
& Mohamad Johdi, 2009). This leadership style can influence others to achieve organizational
goals. Leaders are the person carriers of changes to the organization (Jamil, 2012). Leadership

style is dependent on the capabilities and leadership skills in leading organizations.
Implementation of change and reform in the education system made a significant impact on
the relationship between leadership effectiveness with increasing educational institutions
(Cheah, 2008). According to Ahmad and Nik (2010) leadership is an important component and
is often neglected in the effectiveness and quality of educational outcomes in recent years.
Formal hierarchical structure leadership processes are difficult in organizations (Hulpia &
Devos, 2009). Therefore, the teamwork leadership form is important in today’s organizations.
The teamwork leadership can enhance work effectively (Ministry of Education, 2012).
Distributed leadership is the current leadership that gaining attention in educational
organizations. Now, distributed leadership is gaining the attention and many researchers began
to explore this type of leadership. Research on distributed leadership began to grow in
education and focuses on work situation (Hulpia, Devos & Rosseel, 2009).
Job stress is one of the work situation that affect organizational performance and
effectiveness. Literature shows that job stress among educator could be reduce by implanting
proper leadership style. Therefore, as distributed leadership is gaining attention in educational
organizations the studies of the influences should be expend. However, empirical study of
ditributed leadership is still lacking and not comprehensive (Lashway, 2003; Mayrowetz, 2008;
Angelle, 2010; Hulpia, Devos & Rossell, 2009; Hulpia, Devos & Keer, 2010).
Furthermore, an empirical study on influence of distributed leadership on job stress is
scarce. Even according to Akpochafo, 2012; Shahin and Naseer, 2011 leadership play an
important role in reducing job stress in the organization. Thus, this study aimed to examine the
influence of distributed leadership on job stress.
2. Literature Review
Organizations need sharing leadership and partnership-shaped distribution of work. The goal, is
to keep pace with developments and current situations. Currently, leaders need to deal with
various changes and challenges in organizations (Cairnes, 2012). Therefore, proper leadership
style should be implemented in organizations. Thus, the leadership should be supportive,
distributing or power sharing, collaborative and collective (Ekelund & Adl , 2012; Hay & Kim,
2012; Smith & Riley, 2012). By this, all will have the opportunity to work and face challenges
together. The demands of education in the era of the 21's require a robust administrative
system (Harris & Spillane, 2008; Harris, 2012). Distributed leadership began to gain attention
and more embedded in the organization. Distributed perspective includes interaction between
leaders, followers and situations (Spillane, 2005). According to Harris (2005); Harris and Spillane
(2008) the model of distributed leadership focuses on the interaction in the organization.
Distributed leadership is no longer seen as the individual work but teamwork (Hulpia , Devos &
Keer, 2010).
Distributed leadership in an organization influences the working situation. This
leadership can overcome the problems of teaching and learning among students (Gronn, 2008).
Appropriate leadership need for changes and transformation in the education system (Hulpia,
Devos & Rosseel, 2009). Hulpia, Devos and Keer (2010) studies shows, support and cooperation
dimensions in distributed leadership increase organizational commitment among employees.
Therefore, it will enhance the role and accountability among employees (Parrish & Lefoe, 2008;
3. International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences
January 2014, Vol. 4, No. 1
ISSN: 2222-6990
492 www.hrmars.com/journals
Angelle, 2010). Employees feel more eager to be involved and contribute to the
implementation of the decisions of the organization (Harris, 2005; Harris, 2012).
However, the study of leadership influence on job stress has been widely implemented,
but the influence of distributed leadership on job stress is scarce. Job stress is a phenomenon
that always occurs among workers due to the leadership factor (Azizi & Nik Diana, 2010; Farooq
et al., 2010; Royo & Woo, 2010; Mohd Razali & Abang Mat, 1998). Leadership influence stress
of work and cause job dissatisfaction, lack of organizational commitment and motivation
(Farooq et al., 2010). Its shows that there are relations between leadership and job stress.
Leaders should be compatible with the current demand in order to relieve the pressure and
create a conducive working atmosphere (Akpochafo, 2012; Shahin & Naseer, 2011; Farooq et
al., 2010). Lack of supervision and support of leaders will cause job stress among teachers (Azizi
et al., 2009). Supportive leaders will help relieve the pressure (Ferguson et al., 2012; Shahin &
Naseer, 2011; Azizi et al., 2009; Farooq et al., 2010). Even distribution and power sharing can
also reduce job stress (Farooq et al., 2010). Therefore, the role of leadership is crucial in
increasing or reducing job stress.
Technical and vocational education is always facing changes, and this is a challenge to the
leadership of the organization. Changes happen in technical and vocational education because
it is one of the national transformation agenda for increasing national income (Mohd Izyan et
al., 2012). Challenges and changes in technical and vocational education requires all involved
parties to work together (Nurul Nadya , Nadhirah, Siti Rohana & Muhammad Sukri, 2011).
Changes of curriculum, educational system and transformation among the reasons for
increasing workload (Azizi & Nik Diana, 2010; Royo & Woo, 2010; Shahin & Naseer, 2011;
Ferguson, Frost & Hall, 2012). Now, some new elements incorporated into the national
education. Among them are the physical and personality (Azizi & Nik Diana, 2010). These
changes cause emotional disturbed and stress among educators. Therefore, any changes in the
education system should take into account of the workload and availability of teachers (Mohd
Razali & Abang Mat, 1998). Therefore, leadership should be strengthened and suite with the
demands in order to adjust to the changes in technical and vocational education. Thus, changes
during the transformation of vocational education will succeed and achieve the targeted goals.
3. Objective and Significance of the Study
The focus of this research is to identify whether there is influences of distributed leadership on
job stress in technical and vocational education. The objective of this study is to determine the
distributed leadership level, job stress level and the influences of distributed leadership on job
stress. This study expected to be useful for implementation of suitable leadership style in
technical and vocational education. Therefore, technical and vocational educators more
committed and satisfied with their jobs distributed to them.
In this study, three objectives have been proposed.
Objective 1:
To determine the distributed leadership level in technical and vocational education.
Objective 2:
To determine the job stress level in technical and vocational education.

Objective 3:
To determine the influence of distributed leadership on job stress in technical and vocational
education.
4. Method
The survey questionnaires consist of three sections. The first section is demographic section
included respondents gender, marital status, age and educational qualification. Section two
consists of Distributed Leadership Inventory developed by Hulpia, Devos and Rosseel (2009).
Participants were asked to evaluate the distributed leadership on a five-likert scale. The
Cronbach’s alpha for this measure was 0.97. Section three consists of Teachers Stress Inventory
developed by Boyle, Borg, Falzon & Baglioni (1995). Participants were asked to evaluate the
distributed leadership on a five-likert scale. The Cronbach’s alpha for this measure was 0.93.
The targeted population of the studies is the technical and vocational educators. As the
targeted population is known, convenience-sampling technique adopted. According Cohen,
Manion and Morrison (2011) the sample size should be 359 samples. Therefore, 359 samples
used in this research.
Data analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The
descriptive analysis used to analyses frequency and percentage of participants. Simple
regression analysis was conducted to examine influences of distributed leadership on job stress.
Statistical significance was determined based upon a significance level of 0.05.
5. Findings
Respondents Profile:
There were 165 (46%) male respondents and 194 (54%) female respondents participated in the
research. The summary of the results of the study showing frequencies and percentage of
gender, marital status, age and educational qualification (table 1).
Objective 1;
Descriptive statistics of the distributed leadership variables reported in table 2. The means
range of the three dimension of distributed leadership is from 3.27 to 3.94. The overall mean
for distributed leadership is 3.53. It shows that the leadership is distributed in technical and
vocational education in moderate level. Standard deviations are close to one, which is at an
acceptable level.
Objective 2;
Descriptive statistics of the job stress variables reported in table 3. The means range of the five
dimension of job stress is from 3.01 to 3.42. The overall mean for job stress is 3.21. It shows
that the technical and vocational educators facing job stress in moderate level. Standard
deviations are close to one, which is at an acceptable level.
Objective 3;
Simple regression analysis using enter method was used to test the influence of distributed
leadership ‘independent variable’ on the job stress ‘dependent variable’. The model analysis of
5. International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences

variance indicates that it is valid and significant since (F (1,356) = 8.75, P<0.05). The R square is
0.024, which means that 2.4% of the variation in the independent variables can be explained by
distributed leadership (table 4). The fitted model is as follows; b=-0.148. This means that the
distributed leadership is significant and negatively influencing job stress in technical and
vocational education. It also means that an increase of one unit distributed leadership the
decrease of job stress by 0.418.
6. Discussion
Distributed leadership level is moderately high in this study. Referring previous studies, the
level of distributed leadership is to be at medium and high. According to Larsen and Rieckhoff
(2013) distributed leadership practiced by leaders in the education system. By adopting a
distributed leadership, these leaders are able to share the work and reflections from other
employees to practice their leadership. Thus, these leaders can enhance and customize
according to claim leadership in the organization. According Mullick, Sharma and Deppeler
(2012) distributed leadership level is high. This shows that most organizations start shifting
from individual nature of autocratic leadership to the division and sharing of power. According
Tudryn (2012) leaders began shifting from top-down leadership model to a collaborative
leadership in order to continuously improve organizational effectiveness.
The results showed that the level of job stress in technical and vocational education is in
moderate level. Most previous studies of local and foreign shows the level of job stress among
teachers is in moderate level (Azizi, Shahrin & Tee, 2010; Clunies- Ross, Little & Keinhuis, 2008;
Lawrence & Kacmar, 2012). Organization should play important role in reducing the job stress
among employees. If not, it would lead to high stress and causes burn out among employees.
Thus, it will cause affect in organizational effectiveness.
Even Kamaruzaman (2007) also noted that the distribution of leadership could reduce job
stress among teachers. Distributed leadership influence job satisfaction, organizational
commitment and employee behavior (Pai-Lu, Hai-Ju & Pei-Chun, 2013). This indicated
employees are satisfied and committed with their job. Thus, the job stress among workers will
reduce. This is due to the support provided by the organization that provides a positive
influence on the effectiveness of employees. According to Lawrence and Kacmar (2012);
Amarjit, Flaschner and Smita (2010) leadership has a significant influence on job stress. This
shows the leadership is significantly influence the employee’s job stress. According to Pai-Lu et
al. (2013) distributed leadership is the sharing and working collaboratively in the organization
that will reduce job stress.
7. Conclusion
The result obtained in this study indicates that distributed leadership applied in technical and
vocational education. Furthermore, educators also facing job stress moderately. The results
also shows that distributed leadership have a low significant influence on job stress. Literatures
also are scarce regarding this study. Therefore, further research can be conducted to determine
the impact of distributed leadership in other education system.
