Original Title:
Η Μετασχηματιστική ηγεσία και ο αντίκτυπός της στην επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση και στην αυτοαποτελεσματικότητα των εκπαιδευτικών.
Translated title:
The influence of transformational leadership on teachers satisfaction and self- efficacy.
Summary:
The purpose of this research is to investigate the opinions of primary education teachers regarding the leadership style of their school principals, specifically whether a transformative leadership approach is applied by the principal and how it affects their self-efficacy and professional satisfaction. A quantitative study was conducted with the participation of 126 primary education teachers from various regions of the country. The research tools used included the Principal Leadership Questionnaire (PLQ) to measure transformative leadership characteristics of the principal, the Teacher’s Satisfaction Inventory (TSI) to measure professional satisfaction, and the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) to measure teachers’ self-efficacy. The results showed that the majority of the participants perceive transformative leadership, which has a positive impact on both their self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Specifically, teachers with many years of experience feel a stronger sense of personalized support from their principals. However, one aspect of transformative leadership (the principal as a role model and successful educator) did not demonstrate a particularly high percentage, suggesting the need for training before and during their leadership. Regarding job satisfaction, the teachers in the sample derive great satisfaction from the profession itself. This motivates the development of their self-efficacy, making each teacher better in their role as an educator, colleague and person.
