Abstract

The purpose of the current proposal is to report a meta-analysis study on the relationship between (a) principals’ network position in school-wide networks, measured by principals’ degree centrality, and (b) school leadership, trust, and innovation climate. The findings suggest that principals’ network position had a strong positive relationship with leadership climate and trust climate and a weak positive relationship with innovation climate, with low to moderate level of heterogeneity. The implications were discussed based on the findings.
