Key points[edit source]

  1. Minimal development of key points
  2. We may have different interpretations of this topic - in my mind, "sustainable leadership" is about actions to guide organisations to engage in more environmentally friendly practices (e.g., https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2158244020969394), although I appreciate that it could be interpreted as "sustained leadership" meaning longevity in leadership. Feel free to get in touch to discuss.

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter.
  2. The main areas for improvement are:
    1. Greater use of academic peer-reviewed psychological theory and research about this topic.
    2. The quality of written expression is below to professional standard, mainly due to poor grammar and spelling.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. Basic Overview.
  2. Explains the problem or phenomenon, but not so much about the topic (i.e., sustainable leadership).
  3. Consider explaining the problem or phenomenon in more detail.
  4. Focus question(s) are problematic:
    1. The first one doesn't make sense.
    2. The others aren't really about "What are the leadership qualities needed for sustainable enterprises?"
  5. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of psychological theory about this topic.
  2. Build more strongly on other leadership and sustainability related chapters (e.g., by incorporating embedded links to other chapters (e.g., see this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Leadership).

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological theory.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Insufficient use of relevant psychological research.
  2. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
  3. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research

Integration[edit source]

  1. Discussion of theory and research is poorly integrated.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. The Conclusion is general and vague.
  2. There is insufficient application of psychological theory and research.
  3. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills.
    2. Use permanent, rather than relative, time references. For example, instead of "20 years ago", refer to something like "at the beginning of the 21st century". In this way, the text will survive better into the future, without needing to be rewritten.
    3. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
  2. Grammar
    1. The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[2].
    4. Use serial commas[3] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    5. Abbreviations
      1. Once an abbreviation is established (e.g., PTSD), use it consistently. Don't set up an abbreviation
  3. Spelling
  4. Use Australian spelling (e.g., analyze -> analyse; behavior -> behaviour)
  5. APA style
    1. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Figures and tables
      1. APA style is used for Figure captions.
      2. Each Table and Figure is referred to at least once within the main text.
      3. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation
    5. Citations use correct APA style.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      2. Page numbers should be separated by an en-dash (–) rather than a hyphen (-)
      3. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is basic.
  2. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. # No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  3. Good use of image(s).
  4. No use of table(s).
  5. Good use of feature box(es).
  6. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  7. Basic use of case studies or examples.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~6 logged, useful, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence.

Book chapter resubmission feedback[edit source]

  1. These changes were reviewed.
  2. Overall, minor changes have been made.
  3. The chapter is now over the maximum word count, so some of the additional content was ignored for marking purposes. For example, a lot of unnecessary general material was added to the Overview. Focus more directly on the topic (sustainable leadership) instead of the more general issues around sustainability.
  4. The focus questions have been improved.
  5. A case study was added, but it had nothing to do with sustainable leadership.
  6. Some general leadership theory is added, but it is not explained how this relates to sustainable leadership.
  7. No additional coverage of relevant research has been added.
  8. Some improvements have been made to spelling and grammar.
  9. Additional resources have been added to the See also section.
