    This study investigates the role of strategic leadership in guiding the transformation of Bolina Group from a traditional bathroom manufacturer to a provider of smart and healthy living solutions. It focuses on understanding how leadership practices influence organizational strategy, structure, processes, technological adoption, employee engagement, and overall performance during this transformation. A case study design was employed, collecting data through structured questionnaires distributed to 168 employees across key job categories, complemented by semi-structured interviews with management and technical staff. The study examined constructs including Transformational Leadership, Adaptive Leadership, Visionary/Entrepreneurial Leadership, Organizational Culture, Technological Readiness, Smart and Healthy Living Product Adoption, and Organizational Performance. Reliability tests using Cronbach’s Alpha confirmed that all measurement scales were internally consistent and suitable for analysis. Findings reveal that strategic leadership is a critical driver of organizational transformation. Transformational, adaptive, and visionary leadership practices significantly influence the adoption of smart and healthy living solutions, foster innovation, enhance employee engagement, and improve overall organizational performance. Additionally, a supportive organizational culture and strong technological readiness were identified as key enablers that amplify leadership effectiveness in driving change. The study concludes that effective strategic leadership, supported by an enabling organizational environment, is essential for navigating complex transformations and sustaining long-term competitiveness. Recommendations include strengthening leadership development, enhancing organizational culture, investing in technological readiness, and continuously monitoring transformation initiatives to ensure alignment with strategic objectives.

    (Mekelle University, 2025-11-28) Zhang Giang
    Strategic management is essential for organizational success, particularly in complex and highly structured institutions such as military hospitals. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Hospital of China operates under unique organizational and operational conditions, requiring effective strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation to ensure efficient healthcare delivery and alignment with broader military objectives. This study aims to assess the strategic management practices adopted at the PLA Hospital, focusing on how strategies are formulated, implemented, evaluated, and controlled, as well as identifying the key challenges faced in the strategic management process. A descriptive research design was employed, using a mixed-methods approach with a primary focus on quantitative techniques. Data were collected from 98 hospital staff through structured questionnaires covering strategic planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. A pilot study was conducted to ensure the reliability of the instrument. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 27, employing descriptive statistics to summarize trends and inferential statistics, including correlation and regression analyses, to examine the relationships between strategic management practices and organizational effectiveness. Findings indicate that the PLA Hospital demonstrates acceptable to good reliability in strategic management practices, with effective planning, implementation, and monitoring. Challenges identified include resource allocation constraints and coordination issues among staff. Addressing these challenges can further enhance operational efficiency and strategic alignment. The study recommends continuous evaluation, targeted staff training, and integrated strategic planning to strengthen hospital performance.

    The effect of Leadership Styles on Organizational Performance in Tanqua Milash Wereda, Centeral Zone, Tigray, Ethiopia
    (Mekelle University, 2025-06-28) Gebreslassie Hailemariam
    This study investigates the effect of leadership styles on organizational performance in Tanqua Milash Wereda, a newly established administrative unit in Tigray, Ethiopia. Given its nascent stage and challenges like resource constraints, political interference, and workforce shortages, effective leadership is crucial for service delivery and sustainable development. The research used a combination of methods to gather information, collecting numerical data from 215 structured questionnaires and personal insights from 18 semi-structured interviews, while looking at six types of leadership: autocratic, transactional, transformational, democratic, charismatic, and laissezfaire. Key findings indicate a predominant reliance on autocratic leadership, with 77.4% of respondents reporting exclusion from decision-making. This leadership style strongly correlated with poor organizational performance, evidenced by critically low employee motivation (78.3% negative perception) and minimal recognition of staff contributions (82.1% negative perception). Transformational and democratic styles, while linked to higher performance in literature, were largely absent in practice. Qualitative data further highlighted systemic barriers including inadequate leadership training, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and political interventions hindering good governance. The study contributes empirical evidence on leadership dynamics in newly formed Ethiopian weredas, addressing a significant research gap. It highlights the serious problems caused by strict control in areas with limited resources and suggests practical solutions like leadership training programs, reforms for involving people in decision-making, and changes in policies to reduce political interference. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the need for a systemic shift toward adaptive leadership approaches to enhance organizational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, and public service delivery in Tanqua Milash Wereda, offering a framework for similar developing contexts.
