AbstractThe focus on educational quality on the single school-level and the aim for ongoing school-improvement direct the attention to investigating the quality of leadership of school administrators. However, despite a large number of educational leadership models, some do not provide a sound theoretical framework, as they confound domains and tasks with the leadership style or identify leadership styles that are based on inconsistent assumptions of motivational psychology. In this paper, a leadership model for the specific context of leading school improvement processes is designed using a functional approach, which is based on the theory of personality systems interactions (PSI). We identified four styles of leadership enactment: the (1) visionary-enthusiastic, the (2) (latent) anxious-goal-fixated, the (3) passive-avoidant, and the (4) self-directed style. The newly developed instrument was validated for a sample of n = 901 teachers and k = 75 principals. In the discussion section, particular attention is paid to the self-directed style, for which favorable effects can be postulated both in the change management of school improvement processes and in regard to the motivational experience of teachers.

This study aims to determine whether administrators’ spiritual leadership style predicts school culture according to the perceptions of teachers working at different school levels. The study was carried out according to the correlation survey model used in quantitative research methods. The population of the study consists of 3657 teachers working in primary, secondary, and high schools in the Kartal district of Istanbul in the 2018-2019 academic year. The sample of the study was selected using a simple random sampling method; It consists of a total of 446 teachers working in primary, middle school, and high school levels. The Managerial Spiritual Leadership Perception Scale that was developed by Akıncı and Ekşi (2017) and The School Culture Scale that was developed by Terzi (2005) were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis. The findings of the study showed that there was a moderate and positive relationship between school culture and the spiritual leadership styles of administrators according to teachers’ perceptions. In addition, it was concluded that the spiritual leadership styles of school administrators were a predictor of school culture according to the teachers’ perceptions. While significant differences were found between gender and school-level variables in the support culture sub-dimension of the school culture, age and school-level variables in the success culture sub-dimension, age, occupational seniority, and school-level variables in the bureaucratic culture sub-dimension, age and school-level variables in the task culture sub-dimension, there was no difference between the sub-dimension of school culture and educational status. While there was a significant difference in the level of spiritual leadership perceived by teachers according to the school level variable, there was no significant difference according to the variables of gender, educational level, age, and professional seniority.According to the results of the research, some suggestions were developed.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of leadership styles on academic performance in Junior High Schools (JHS) in Mampong in the Mampong Municipal Assembly of Ashanti Region in Ghana. The design for the study was a mixed study using both the qualitative and quantitative analyzes. It was a correlation survey designed to establish the relationship between leadership styles and academic performance in schools in Mampong in the Mampong Municipal Assembly. Data collected on the leadership styles of the school leaders were the independent variables and the academic performance as dependent variables. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22 and Epi-Info, a data capturing and analysis software. The study noted that unless the headmasters are well equipped with knowledge and skills in leadership they would not know if they have any influence on their schools and on academic work. The study also established that even though respondents agreed that a leadership style can affect academic performance, the headmasters do not gain the confidence of the stakeholders enough in order to build terms that can enhance quality of teaching and learning. Based on these establishments, it was recommended that teacher training institutions should incorporate in their curriculum, training in the art and science of leadership in order to groom leaders’ right from school. Again, it is recommended that compulsory continuous professional development in leadership should be institutionalized in Ghana Education Service (GES) for headmasters.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate managers’ leadership styles, from the perspective of registered nurses, and its effects on the quality of nursing care in both the private and public healthcare sectors. An additional aim is to assess the relationship between leadership styles and particular organisational outcomes. Design/methodology/approach The sample for this quantitative research study was comprised of 400 respondents, among which 50 were nurse managers, 150 were staff nurses and the remaining respondents were patients. Two questionnaires were used in this study: the multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) 5X short and a patient satisfaction with nursing care quality questionnaire (PSNCQQ). Findings A positive correlation was found between the transformational leadership style with leadership outcomes and the quality of nursing care (r=0.811**, 0.759**, 0.789** and 0.877** for extra effort, job satisfaction, leader effectiveness and quality, respectively). Practical implications Although the sample study was extensive, a possible limitation is that the research utilised convenient sample who are working in the private and public healthcare sectors thus limiting the generalisability of the study. Originality/value This study was proposed as a baseline for upcoming studies in areas of education, nursing practice, research and quality. Moreover, this study was expected to be imperative to the hospital’s management, in order to improve the current level of leadership, education models and advancement programs for the healthcare sector’s senior staff.
