Different leadership theories are argued in this piece of paper to elucidate the need of leadership and reflective practice for the educational leaders particularly in 21 st century. In 21 st century finest leader and coaches are essential in management as well as for the swift intensification of the education sector. Study shows that in the forthcoming era, educational leaders are mostly required rather than professional teachers. The concepts and importance of need of educational leaders are described by means of different theories and models. In this study, researchers pin point the unusual plane of awareness of internal and external nature of leadership is deliberate crucial role that leads to better suspicion to acquire

Authors have deeply reviewed previous research studies conducted by researchers and have elaborated their views in connection with the current debate. This paper is purely qualitative in nature and authors have formulated comprehensive model that can be helpful for the policy makers and administrators of the higher education system. This comprehensive model clearly explains that if teachers are equipped with proper and well organized pedagogical as well as administrative training 60 programs then their performance can be greatly improved which can further enhance the quality of education delivered to the students. Both pre-service and in-service professional development programs should be organized for faculty members that will improve their knowledge, skills and abilities, which in turn will further improve their academic, pedagogical and administrative job performance resulting the improvement of overall quality education. Moreover the relation that has been explored can be used to minimize many emerging problems, and perceived issues and challenges faced by higher education system. The model proposed by authors will be useful for policy makers who can then make better policies and can design improved procedures to enhance quality of education. Besides all this, the model is also helpful for management/administrators of higher education system to train and develop their faculty members on specified patterns to inculcate healthy learning among their students.

This study investigates the negative consequences of high Facebook usage for different purposes. It focuses on how the social, cognitive, and hedonic uses of Facebook induce stress and exhaustion, thereby influencing an individual's intention to voluntary quit from using Facebook. The stimuluseorganismeresponse paradigm is used in this study to examine the antecedents of intentions to discontinue the use of Facebook. The distinctive stimuli, organisms, and response in the proposed research model are empirically investigated through a sample of 360 Facebook users. Findings indicate that psychological and behavioral consequences compel users to discontinue or reduce the use of Facebook due to exhaustion and technostress caused by social networking sites (SNS). The excessive social, hedonic, and cognitive uses of Facebook are also sources of technostress, and the subsequent SNS exhaustion results in the decision to quit Facebook. This study draws theoretical implications for future SNS research as well as practical implications for organizations and SNS providers and users.
