Neuroeconomics is a new field in the area of decision making and economics. In a way so, it is an improvement of the traditional and behavioral economics as some elements of decision making and choice are being added. Being a new field and through biological research studies in decision making and choices, economists are not sure of incorporating the neuroeconomics for predictions and policy formulation. However, the traditional model of economics has proved to be inadequate and its assumptions often violated. Incorporating other tools like the neuroscience tools would complement the model and make it more reliable and improve the level of certainty when making decisions especially in situation of uncertainty. The model would be well balanced as it would take care of other inadequacies that classical economics has failed to address. Thus the reflection of this paper aim at viewing the birth of decision neuroscience from behavioral economics to neuroeconomics.

This paper investigates the association of leadership roles’ competencies as well as managerial effectiveness profiles with gender and job outcomes (job satisfaction and performance). In addition, the influence of leadership competencies on individual effectiveness of managers is explored, providing a course for action toward managerial excellence. Drawing upon a sample of 132 male and female managers in Greek firms, a structured questionnaire was developed adopting the Competing Values Framework (CVF) in order to measure both leadership roles’ competencies and managerial effectiveness.
Results revealed that managers characterized by high levels of job performance excel in practicing all leadership competencies, while gender does not exert significant impact. A similar pattern emerged for managerial effectiveness profiles. Moreover, leadership competencies associated with the innovator, director and mentor roles found to contribute most to managerial effectiveness, thus specific directions for managerial action has been derived.
