The study addresses the correlations within the selected leadership model in the educational environment. The goal of the research study was to verify the relationship between the general self-esteem in Slovak teachers and their pupil leadership style in terms of D. McGregor’s theory. Besides teachers’ self-esteem, the study also addresses the concept of leadership and other contextual variables (age, length of teaching practice, school type, and managerial experience). The method of available selection was used to build the research sample of form teachers working at the secondary level of education. Two questionnaires were administered to collect data: The RSES/Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Halama & Bieščad, 2006) and The X/Y Leadership Style. The study has confirmed the assumed positive correlation between teachers’ general self-esteem and pupil/student leadership style in terms of the Y Theory. This result is consistent with other research results (e.g. Whitney, 1990; Matzler et al., 2015; Ďuricová & Šugereková, 2017), thus confirming the importance of leaders’ positive self-esteem.

The aim of the present study is to examine a manager ́s self-concept as a potential source of their leadership philosophy. The research study is focused on the verification of the relationship between particular aspects of a manager ́s self-concept (especially self-esteem and self-efficacy) and of their employee s ́ leadership style in the context of theory X/Y. On the basis of previous research results (e.g., Wood and Bandura, 1989; Whitney, 1990; McCormick et al., 2002; Wang, 2010; Ahn et al., 2016) and theoretical outcomes, we presuppose the relationship between a manager ́s attitude to themselves and their attitude to the employees. McGregor ́s theory is still relevant more than 50 years after its publication because it has a solid foundation (Kristensen, 2015). Although empirical studies examining the theory X and Y managerial assumptions in a work environment were very scarce for a long time, in recent years there have been several research studies examining the effect of leader ́s X/Y managerial assumptions on follower ́s attitudes and behaviours (e.g. Gurbuz et al, 2014, Lawter et al, 2015). However, we are more interested in the individual leader ́s self-concept in respect to the preferred leadership philosophy. The analysed self-concept (consisting of two aspects: self-esteem /AM=34.14; SD=3.62/and self-efficacy /AM= 33.81; SD=3.75/) and manager ́s leadership styles (attitude X: AM= 35.43; SD=5.59; attitude Y: AM= 34.47; SD=4.85) were basic variables of this research study. To estimate the presupposed correlations between chosen aspects of a manager ́s self-concept (respectively self-esteem and self-efficacy), and a managerial attitude, Spearman correlation coefficients (using McGregor ́s theory) were calculated. By means of correlation analysis we found a positive, moderate, statistically-significant correlation between self-esteem and managerial attitude Y (.311, p≤.01). Referring to statistical correlation analysis we can conclude there is no correlation between perceived manager ́s self-efficacy and their managerial attitude in the sense of theory X/Y.

Despite being a pressing issue, the role of personality traits in the adolescent use of social networks has not yet been researched empirically in Slovakia. The aim of this study is to increase knowledge about the relationship between the tendency to overuse social media, personality traits and self-esteem in a sample of Slovak adolescents. Furthermore, it also confirms the gender differences in the tendency of male and female adolescents to use social media in a risky way. The research sample comprised 284 Slovak adolescents aged between 15 and 20 years old (M = 17.88, SD = 1.67); 141 of the subjects were female. The data collection was carried out using the snowball method i.e., by means of a Facebook questionnaire. The study suggests the importance of personality factors such as neuroticism and conscientiousness in explaining the tendency to overuse social media. The role of personality traits and gender differences may be relevant for designing prevention activities and intervention programmes on risky social networking use in adolescence.
