Closing the Gap: Boosting Women’s Representation in Cybersecurity Leadership

The research consistently highlights the gender disparity in cybersecurity leadership roles, necessitating targeted interventions. Biased recruitment practices, limited STEM education opportunities for girls, and workplace culture contribute to this gap. Proposed solutions include addressing biased recruitment through gender-neutral language and blind processes, promoting STEM education for girls to increase qualified female candidates, and fostering inclusive workplace cultures with mentorship and sponsorship programs. Gender parity is crucial for the industry’s success, as embracing diversity enables the cybersecurity sector to leverage various perspectives, drive innovation, and effectively combat cyber threats. Achieving this balance is not just about fairness but also a strategic imperative. By embracing concerted efforts towards gender parity, we can create a more resilient and impactful cybersecurity landscape, benefiting industry and society.

A Research Conception on Indigenous Chinese Leadership:Based on Comparative Case Studies on Political Elites in Ancient China

Due to the complexity of leadership and its variability across situations,it is suggested that research on leadership should focus on attempts to understand leadership in specific situations or roles,and develop local knowledge about leadership in each situation or role.This paper validates the possibility and importance of building indigenous leadership theories from historical perspective.We demonstrated how to carry out research on indigenous Chinese leadership from a historical perspective by comparative case studies using historical data.Based on the principles of typicalness,representativeness,and comparativeness,we selected six counterparts of political elites in ancient China as comparative cases,which includes Guan Zhong&Shang Yang(organizational reformer),Liu Bang&Xiang Yu(entrepreneur),Li Shimin&Qin Shihuang(intergenerational transition successor),Zhuge Liang&Zeng Guofan(professional manager),Lu Su&Zhang Juzheng(mess-to-order maker),and Zuo Zongtang&Wang Anshi(national dream driver).The paper aims to develop indigenous leadership theory specific to Chinese mental states and culture.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Corporate Leadership

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming organizational dynamics, and revolutionizing corporate leadership practices. This research paper delves into the question of how AI influences corporate leadership, examining both its advantages and disadvantages. Positive impacts of AI are evident in communication, feedback systems, tracking mechanisms, and decision-making processes within organizations. AI-powered communication tools, as exemplified by Slack, facilitate seamless collaboration, transcending geographical barriers. Feedback systems, like Adobe’s Performance Management System, employ AI algorithms to provide personalized development opportunities, enhancing employee growth. AI-based tracking systems optimize resource allocation, as exemplified by studies like “AI-Based Tracking Systems: Enhancing Efficiency and Accountability.” Additionally, AI-powered decision support, demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcases the capability to navigate complex challenges and maintain resilience. However, AI adoption poses challenges in human resources, potentially leading to job displacement and necessitating upskilling efforts. Managing AI errors becomes crucial, as illustrated by instances like Amazon’s biased recruiting tool. Data privacy concerns also arise, emphasizing the need for robust security measures. The proposed solution suggests leveraging Local Machine Learning Models (LLMs) to address data privacy issues. Approaches such as federated learning, on-device learning, differential privacy, and homomorphic encryption offer promising strategies. By exploring the evolving dynamics of AI and leadership, this research advocates for responsible AI adoption and proposes LLMs as a potential solution, fostering a balanced integration of AI benefits while mitigating associated risks in corporate settings.

组织动员与联动治理:党建引领基层社会治理创新的实践机制——以陕西省S县“五同”工作法为例

在中国式现代化进程中,党建引领基层社会治理创新蕴含着组织动员与联动治理的意蕴,这是观察“中国之理”的重要维度。组织动员旨在激活党组织的政治功能和组织功能,形塑党建引领基层社会治理创新的动员机制。在结构维度上,组织动员依托政治势能健全组织结构,形成体系化动员;在行动维度上,它释放党建势能统合治理行动,促成引领型动员。治理有效离不开动员式治理,更需要联动式治理。基于党组织的制度优势,联动治理以其整合性力量构建党建引领基层社会治理创新的互动机制。从治理维度看,联动治理基于集成联结凝聚治理要素,展现要素化联动;从改革维度看,它通过多维互动平衡好秩序与活力,呈现责任型联动。作为中国特色的治理创新实践样态,组织动员、联动治理与共同缔造的行动理念和基本方略具有内在的一致性和高度耦合性,它们共同彰显中国共产党治国理政的生动图景和治理智慧,这对于促进制度优势更好地转化为治理效能具有启发性。

数字化时代工作自主权对商业模式创新的影响研究

随着传统业务与数字技术的逐渐融合,工作新场景、新业态对员工的数字知识与技能提出更高要求,需要赋予员工工作自主权来提升自身数字素养,以便更好地推动企业商业模式创新,但当前的研究对二者的作用路径与机理还缺乏深入的探讨。为此,基于工作要求-资源模型探讨了数字化时代员工工作自主权对商业模式创新的影响,以及工作重塑的中介作用与包容型领导的调节作用。研究结果表明:(1)数字化时代员工的工作自主权会对商业模式创新产生显著的正向影响;(2)工作重塑在工作自主权与商业模式创新之间起到部分中介作用;(3)包容型领导不仅能够强化数字化时代工作重塑对商业模式创新的影响,而且能够强化工作自主权通过工作重塑影响商业模式创新的中介效应。因此,在数字化时代,企业管理者应给予员工一定的工作自主权,为他们的工作重塑行为提供必要的数字化资源支持,同时采取包容型的领导风格,缓解员工因数字化新工作要求带来的压力与疲惫,使其有意愿与精力投身于商业模式创新活动。
