EFFECT OF CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP ON PEACE BUILDING IN MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Abstract
The primary purpose of this quantitative non experimental correlational study was to assess the effect of conscious leadership on peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia. Specifically, the study sought to assess the effect of administrative conscious leadership, enabling conscious leadership, adaptive conscious leadership and transformational conscious leadership on peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia. A stratified random sampling technique was applied to select a sample size of 153 from the target population of 248 respondents and a sample size of 153 traditional leaders and civil society group leaders. Primary data collection methods used closed ended questionnaires and a cross-sectional survey data collection technique to generate quantitative data. The data was entered into Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 22.0 for Windows. Multiple regression analysis model was selected for this study because the correlative relationship conscious leadership and peace building was being investigated from a quantitative perspective to test the research hypotheses. The findings from the study revealed that conscious leadership had statistically significant effect on peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia. Specifically, the results indicated that administrative conscious leadership, enabling conscious leadership, adaptive conscious leadership and transformational conscious leadership had statistically significant effect on peace building in Mogadishu, Somalia. Implications for positive social change included the governments and the Somali government to adopt conscious leadership in order to foster peace building and restore permanent peace in Somalia. This research had some important limitations that need to be taken into consideration: the study used a correlation cross-sectional survey design with only quantitative measures which can be improved upon by longitudinal studies with mixed quantitative and quantitative measures. The practical implications of this study are essential for future researchers and practitioners as it provides new literature and new insight into conscious leadership and peace building.
