An Investigation into Management Styles and Creative Leadership Characteristics of School Administrators

Abstract

ABSTRACT The main objective of this research is to examine the management styles and creative leadership characteristics of school administrators. The study used a descriptive and quantitative survey model. It was conducted on 50 academics and associates based on voluntary participation. The research used two different questionnaires. The scale “Creative Leadership Qualities of School Administrators” was used to measure the perceptions of teachers regarding innovative leadership qualities. It was formulated as a five-point Likert scale by Uçar and Sağlam (2019). The other scale used in the study was the “Scale of Management Styles Exhibited by School Principals” developed by Asar (2019) as a five-point Likert scale to collect the data. The study found no significant difference in the management styles and creative leadership characteristics of administrators based on variables such as sex, age, professional seniority and educational level of teachers.
