      Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Statement of the Issue An essential facet to health and human service organizations (HHSOs) successfully addressing the challenges facing many disenfranchised communities today are organizational leaders and managers of the social work profession, trained in macro practice [1]. Despite this understanding, few professionals with backgrounds in social work occupy such positions of leadership within HHSOs, resulting in a significant deficit in the unique values and perspectives brought forth by such experiences [2]. Social work education plays an integral role in preparing students with values of social justice and ethical-professional acumen to compete for leadership positions within HHSOs. The Rothman [2] Report provides a well-documented assessment of the deterrents to schools of social work establishing and sustaining macro practice concentrations (e.g. limited financial investment).

      Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Opinion Leadership is a timeless subject and will remain so in the affairs of humans till, perhaps, eternity emerges. The currency of leadership in social discourses is testamentary to its nebulous nature, evident in the absence of consensus on what the concept means. There have been several publications on leadership from diverse perspectives depending, of course, on the values of the different theorists. The more theories on leadership that are churned out by the theorists, the more confusing and elusive the concept becomes. It is, however, possible to classify all existing literature on leadership into two broad categories, namely, those that portray leadership as an art that can be learnt, and those that see it as an in-born or innate gifting. It is on either of these two perspectives that most of the theories on leadership hinge. Dr. Ololo’s book, The Shepherd Leader… presents a unique dimension to the con

The Dark Triad is a set of adverse personality traits, described as being abnormal behavior, pathological, and immoral values [2]. The term ‘dark’ refers to the maladaptive tendencies possessed by undesirable personality traits. Organizational Psychologists have often thought over what makes people choose certain careers. This is also something individuals consider themselves when looking to make a career change. Tokar et al. [3] reported that personality is one of the key factors behind career choice.

  Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Introduction The interest for the economic benefits of education is dated back in the era of industrial revolution, and the times when Adam Smith in 1776 suggested educating the workers. Education, he said, drives away all the disarray and discontent. Generates a self-interest in the person and thus improves its levels of productivity. After a very long period, education is again a key factor for production, development and growth. Theodore Shultz (1963) with his work on human capital and the economic value of education, the focus of Gary Becker [1] on the critical role of education on human capital formation, and the seminal work of Jacob Mincer [2] and his earnings regressions made a restart to the issue of economics of education and the creation of human capital as a major research field. Recent literature though proves that, the assumptions of Mincer model for the 1960 labor market are no longer strong and for
