A liderança tem significados diferentes para pessoas diferentes em todo o mundo, e coisas diferentes em situações diferentes. Por exemplo, pode estar relacionado com liderança comunitária, liderança religiosa, liderança política e liderança de grupos de campanha. -Um líder é aquele que vê mais do que os outros vêem, que vê mais longe do que os outros vêem e que vê antes dos outros (LeRoy, 2002). A importância do líder, a sua emergência, as suas trocas com os seguidores e o objetivo para o qual a liderança existe fornecem-nos as formas como vemos a liderança. Na antiguidade, os filósofos criaram mitos para dar explicações razoáveis e aceitáveis para o domínio dos líderes e a submissão dos seguidores (subordinados). De facto, quanto maiores são as injustiças socioeconómicas na sociedade, mais se distorcem as realidades da liderança - os seus poderes, moralidade e eficácia - para o mito (John P. Kotter 2002).

Liderazgo significa cosas diferentes para personas diferentes en todo el mundo, y cosas diferentes en situaciones diferentes. Por ejemplo, podría estar relacionado con el liderazgo comunitario, el liderazgo religioso, el liderazgo político y el liderazgo de grupos de campaña. -Un líder es aquel que ve más de lo que otros ven, que ve más lejos de lo que otros ven y que ve antes de que otros lo hagan (LeRoy, 2002). -La importancia del líder, su aparición, sus intercambios con los seguidores y el propósito para el que existe el liderazgo nos proporcionan las formas de ver el liderazgo. En la antigüedad, los filósofos crearon mitos para ofrecer explicaciones razonables y aceptables sobre el dominio de los líderes y la sumisión de los seguidores (subordinados). De hecho, cuanto mayores son las injusticias socioeconómicas en la sociedad, más se distorsionan las realidades del liderazgo -sus poderes, su moralidad y su eficacia- en favor del mito (John P. Kotter, 2002).

Führung bedeutet für verschiedene Menschen auf der ganzen Welt und in verschiedenen Situationen unterschiedliche Dinge. Sie kann sich zum Beispiel auf die Führung von Gemeinschaften, die religiöse Führung, die politische Führung und die Führung von Kampagnengruppen beziehen. -Eine Führungspersönlichkeit ist jemand, der mehr sieht als andere, der weiter sieht als andere, und der sieht, bevor es andere tun (LeRoy, 2002). -Die Bedeutung der Führungspersönlichkeit, ihre Entstehung, ihr Austausch mit den Gefolgsleuten und der Zweck, zu dem sie existiert, geben uns die Art und Weise vor, wie wir Führung betrachten. In der Antike schufen die Philosophen Mythen, um vernünftige und akzeptable Erklärungen für die Dominanz der Führer und die Unterwürfigkeit der Gefolgsleute (Untergebenen) zu finden. Je größer die sozioökonomischen Ungerechtigkeiten in der Gesellschaft sind, desto mehr wird die Realität der Führung - ihre Macht, Moral und Effektivität - zum Mythos verzerrt (John P. Kotter 2002).

La notion de leadership revêt des significations différentes selon les personnes dans le monde et selon les situations. Par exemple, il peut s'agir d'un leadership communautaire, d'un leadership religieux, d'un leadership politique ou d'un leadership de groupes de campagne. -Un leader est quelqu'un qui voit plus que les autres, qui voit plus loin que les autres et qui voit avant les autres (LeRoy, 2002). -L'importance du leader, son émergence, ses échanges avec les suiveurs et l'objectif pour lequel le leadership existe nous fournissent les façons dont nous percevons le leadership. Dans l'Antiquité, les philosophes ont créé des mythes pour fournir des explications raisonnables et acceptables à la domination des leaders et à la soumission des suiveurs (subordonnés). En fait, plus les injustices socio-économiques sont grandes dans la société, plus les réalités du leadership - ses pouvoirs, sa moralité et son efficacité - sont déformées au profit du mythe (John P. Kotter 2002).

La leadership ha significati diversi per persone diverse in tutto il mondo e in situazioni diverse. Ad esempio, può riguardare la leadership della comunità, la leadership religiosa, la leadership politica e la leadership di gruppi che conducono campagne elettorali. -Un leader è colui che vede più di quanto gli altri vedano, che vede più lontano di quanto gli altri vedano e che vede prima degli altri (LeRoy, 2002). -L'importanza del leader, la sua comparsa, i suoi scambi con i seguaci e lo scopo per cui la leadership esiste ci forniscono i modi in cui vediamo la leadership. Nell'antichità, i filosofi hanno creato dei miti per fornire spiegazioni ragionevoli e accettabili del dominio dei leader e della sottomissione dei seguaci (subordinati). In effetti, più le ingiustizie socioeconomiche nella società sono grandi, più il mondo viene distorto dalla realtà della leadership - i suoi poteri, la sua moralità e la sua efficacia - al mito (John P. Kotter 2002).

Aunque la investigación es fundamental para las actividades empresariales y académicas, no existe una definición formal de investigación. La investigación tiene un significado diferente para cada persona. Sin embargo, hay un acuerdo general en que la investigación es un proceso de indagación y una investigación científica. Es sistemática y metódica. También aumenta el conocimiento (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). Como dice CLIFFORD WOODY, "la investigación consiste en definir problemas, formular hipótesis o sugerir soluciones, hacer deducciones y llegar a conclusiones y, por último, comprobar cuidadosamente las conclusiones para determinar si se ajustan a la hipótesis formulada". La definición anterior significa que la investigación es un método sistemático que identifica un problema, formula una hipótesis y recoge datos o hechos, lo que conduce a un análisis y, por consiguiente, a conclusiones. Las conclusiones son las soluciones al problema identificado (Rosenthal y Rosnow, 1991).

Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations. For example, it could relate to community leadership, religious leadership, political leadership, and leadership of campaigning groups. ¿A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others do (LeRoy, 2002). ¿The importance of the leader, his/or her emergence, his or her exchanges with followers and the purpose for which leadership exist provide us with the ways in which we view leadership. In ancient times, philosophers created myths to provide reasonable and acceptable explanations for the dominance of leaders and the submissiveness of followers (subordinates). In fact, the greater the socio ¿economic injustices in the society the world is distorted the realities of leadership-its powers morality, and effectiveness to the myth, (John P. Kotter 2002).

The nursing sector plays an important role in underpinning health delivery of a country. This book attempts to appraise satisfaction of employees in selected private and public hospitals. The purpose of this book is therefore to obtain a clear picture of the existence and nature of the relationship between personality factors and its relationship with satisfaction of nurses in Ghana. It focuses on the relative importance of satisfaction factors and their impacts on the overall satisfaction of employees. It determines the relationship between personality and job satisfaction. The more satisfied people are the happier they are. Moreover, job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one¿s job; an affective reaction to one¿s job; and an attitude towards one¿s job Weiss (2002). The success of any organization depends on how its member performs his/ her tasks. If the members are effective, efficient and committed to their job, the organization will be able to attain its mission Weiss (2002).

Continuing professional development and a commitment to lifelong learning are integral components in enhancing the ability and proficiency of organizations and individuals to engage in sustained development of their services. Additionally, changes can happen at any time due to varying factors. Therefore, learning is very imperative in improving nurses¿ abilities to address and solve problems (Somjai Nokdee 2007). Problems are also good stimulators for learning. ¿Learning by problems¿ is becoming widely utilized around the world in educational institutions, especially in the medical and nursing field. In order for professional development to occur in nursing clinical practice, proficiency in lifelong learning and the ability to reflect on every aspect of nursing practice are essential. Lifelong learning and reflective practice are skills central to the self-directed learning process and therefore, self-directed learning is an effective professional development tool.

From the developing worlds¿ perspective, everyone is desirous of having health professionals that could help manage their health delivery competently, thereby creating awareness of health professionals to acquire the required skill to improve in health delivery. The situation becomes more intense when the health professionals themselves see the need to educate themselves in order to fit into as well as enable them to take up some prestigious positions in the health profession as well as have the needed skill to meet the needs of the present health challenges. These have given rise to an escalating quest of health professions to educate themselves at the tertiary institutions. In effect, it becomes a requirement then that, these practicing nurses get corresponding reasonably good number of faculty to handle them. But the situation seems to be different. The situation appears to be worsening up given the fact that, there is now a general phenomenon that, only few of nursing faculty have PhDs to handle such large numbers of nurses engaged in continuing medical education

According to (Geisler 2005) Ethics is more interesting than a mere study of laws that govern human behavior. The essence of ethics is responsible decision making. Ethics as an area of study that evaluates the approaches individuals and institutions use in their decision-making process to identify¿ the more appropriate and responsible choice that is supposed to be made in a particular situation. Ethic is the process of reflecting on various ideas and making informed decision(s) Morality is the outcome of an informed decision(s) that refers to the implementation of ethical decisions in human behavior and daily living. Ethics can therefore be identified as various set of ideas, which are expressed in morality. It indicates the variation between deciding and acting.

Sebbene la ricerca sia centrale sia nelle attività commerciali che in quelle accademiche, non esiste una definizione formale di ricerca. La ricerca ha un significato diverso per persone diverse. Tuttavia, c'è un accordo generale che la ricerca è un processo di indagine e un'indagine scientifica. È sistematica e metodica. Inoltre aumenta la conoscenza (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). Come dice CLIFFORD WOODY, "La ricerca comprende la definizione di problemi, la formulazione di ipotesi o di soluzioni suggerite, la formulazione di deduzioni e il raggiungimento di conclusioni e, infine, la verifica attenta delle conclusioni per determinare se corrispondono all'ipotesi formulata. La definizione di cui sopra significa che la ricerca è un metodo sistematico che identifica un problema, formula un'ipotesi e raccoglie dati o fatti, che porta all'analisi e, di conseguenza, alle conclusioni. Le conclusioni sono le soluzioni al problema identificato (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).

Bien que la recherche soit au c¿ur des activités commerciales et universitaires, il n'existe pas de définition officielle de la recherche. La recherche a une signification différente selon les personnes. Cependant, on s'accorde généralement à dire que la recherche est un processus d'enquête et une investigation scientifique. Elle est systématique et méthodique. Elle permet également d'accroître les connaissances (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). Comme le dit CLIFFORD WOODY, "la recherche consiste à définir des problèmes, à formuler des hypothèses ou des propositions de solutions, à faire des déductions et à tirer des conclusions et, enfin, à tester soigneusement les conclusions pour déterminer si elles correspondent à l'hypothèse formulée". La définition ci-dessus signifie que la recherche est une méthode systématique qui identifie un problème, formule une hypothèse et collecte des données ou des faits, ce qui conduit à une analyse et, par conséquent, à des conclusions. Les conclusions sont les solutions au problème identifié (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).

Embora a investigação seja central tanto para as actividades empresariais como académicas, não existe uma definição formal de investigação. A investigação tem um significado diferente para pessoas diferentes. Contudo, existe um consenso geral de que a investigação é um processo de inquérito e uma investigação científica. É sistemática e metódica. Também aumenta o conhecimento (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). Como diz CLIFFORD WOODY, "a investigação compreende a definição de problemas, a formulação de hipóteses ou de soluções sugeridas, a realização de deduções e a obtenção de conclusões e, finalmente, o teste cuidadoso das conclusões para determinar se estas se enquadram na hipótese formulada. A definição acima referida significa que a investigação é um método sistemático que identifica um problema, formula uma hipótese, e recolhe dados ou factos, o que leva à análise e, consequentemente, a conclusões. As conclusões são as soluções para o problema identificado (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).

Obwohl Forschung sowohl für geschäftliche als auch für akademische Aktivitäten von zentraler Bedeutung ist, gibt es keine formale Definition von Forschung. Forschung hat für verschiedene Menschen unterschiedliche Bedeutungen. Es besteht jedoch ein allgemeines Einvernehmen darüber, dass Forschung ein Prozess der Erkundung und eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung ist. Sie ist systematisch und methodisch. Sie erhöht auch das Wissen (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). CLIFFORD WOODY drückt es so aus: "Forschung besteht aus der Definition von Problemen, der Formulierung von Hypothesen oder Lösungsvorschlägen, dem Ziehen von Schlussfolgerungen und schließlich dem sorgfältigen Testen der Schlussfolgerungen, um festzustellen, ob sie mit der formulierten Hypothese übereinstimmen. Die obige Definition bedeutet, dass Forschung eine systematische Methode ist, die ein Problem identifiziert, eine Hypothese formuliert und Daten oder Fakten sammelt, was zu einer Analyse und folglich zu Schlussfolgerungen führt. Die Schlussfolgerungen sind die Lösungen für das identifizierte Problem (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).

Although research is central to both business and academic activities, there is no formal definition of research. Research has different meaning for different people. However, there is a general agreement that research is a process of enquiry and a scientific investigation. It is systematic and methodical. It also increases knowledge (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991). As CLIFFORD WOODY puts it, ¿Research comprises of defining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, making deductions and reaching conclusions and at last, carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. The above definition means research is a systematic method which identifies a problem, formulates a hypothesis, and collects data or facts, which leads to analysis and consequently, conclusions. The conclusions are the solutions to the identified problem (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).
