Effects of Distributed Leadership on Teachers' Job Satisfaction, Self-Efficacy, and the Role of Trust in Principal
Fri, April 28, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 215Abstract
This study explored the effects of distributed leadership on teachers’ job satisfaction and their sense of self-efficacy, with a focus on the mediating role of trust in principal in the context of mainland China. A total of 302 elementary school teachers from two cities in south China were investigated. The results showed that teachers’ perceptions of distributed leadership had positive effects on both their job satisfaction and self-efficacy. Further, trust in principal significantly mediated the impact of distributed leadership on teachers’ job satisfaction and their self-efficacy. The results highlight the importance of distributed leadership and trust in principal in Chinese context, and some implications for leadership practices are discussed here.
