Learning scenarios: dialogues between architecture, design, and education, by Rivas and García-Diego (2024). Revista Española de Pedagogía (Q2)
In a post-pandemic context that has required the reformulation of teaching and learning spaces, educator Sonia Rivas and architect Héctor García-Diego have edited the book ‘Escenarios de aprendizaje’. Dialogues between architecture, design, and education. Although concern about the influence of space on the quality of teaching and learning processes has long been present in the educational debate, the context of the health crisis has brought it to the forefront. The book starts from a paradigm shift in which spaces traditionally dedicated to privacy, rest, and family life (e.g., homes) have become places of work and study, while those designed for learning (such as universities and schools) have been permeated by the need to transform them into friendly, livable places capable of accommodating vulnerability. The emergency context and the experience of the summer course on the dialogue between education and architecture organized by the editors of this book at the University of Navarra after the 2020 lockdown provide the excuse and purpose.

Leadership practices and work engagement: Does spirituality in the workplace moderate the relationship? (2024). Cogent Business & Management (United Kingdom, Q2)
As an emerging construct, spirituality in the workplace has gained credibility in the organizational management literature due to its effect on work-related behaviors. This article examines the moderating effect of spirituality in the workplace on the relationship between ethical and transformational leadership and employee job engagement (EJI) in a developing country. We adopt a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional survey design to collect data from 416 employees in 10 selected public and private universities in Ghana. We analyze the data using descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical regression modeling. The results indicate that the dimensions of transformational leadership and ethical leadership have a strong and significant positive relationship with EJI. Furthermore, we establish that workplace spirituality moderates the relationship between ethical leadership and EJI. Regarding transformational leadership, workplace spirituality moderates only the relationship between idealized influence and EJI. The article provides new findings to bridge the gap in the leadership literature by presenting original evidence that workplace spirituality is an effective moderator in the association between ethical leadership, the idealized aspect of transformational leadership, and EJI. Furthermore, the result of this research generates new discourse and contributes to organizational practices and policies in Ghana and beyond.

Improving project success through business leadership: the mediating roles of team reflexivity, team innovation culture, and team entrepreneurial passion (2024). Cogent Business & Management (UK, Q2)
Building on the resource-based view and social learning theory, this study aims to explore the influence of entrepreneurial leadership (EL) on project success (PS) through the mediating pathways of team reflexivity (TR), team innovation culture (TIC), and team entrepreneurial passion (TEP). Data were collected from 422 senior employees in IT companies. The analysis employed SMART-PLS 4 structural equation modeling to assess the proposed relationships. The findings highlight the significant impact of EL on PS. EL was found to exert a notable influence on TR, ICT, and TEP. Furthermore, the proposed mediators, TR and ICT, exhibited substantial effects on PS, while TEP demonstrated a partially significant impact. Through the mediating roles of TR, TEP, and ICT, EL indirectly influenced PS.
