The Practical Side of Research: Studying Administrative Leadership. Research Brief.

Koll, Patricia J.; And Others

NASSP Bulletin, v80 n578 p102-12 Mar 1996

Summarizes a 1992 Wisconsin study exploring relationships among principals' leadership styles, gender, and personality attributes and principals' and teachers' work satisfaction. None of these variables predicted work satisfaction; teachers and principals had different perceptions of leadership. Schools should hire more female administrators and increase principals' sensitivity to open communications. (25 references) (MLH)
