Abstract

The purpose of this study was to the identify the mediating effect of professional learning communities in the relationship between distributed leadership and school organizational effectiveness perceived by elementary and secondary school teachers. The results of the study were as follows. First, there were positive correlations among all of the distributed leadership, professional learning communities and school organizational effectiveness. Second, the direct effect of distributed leadership on school organizational effectiveness(β=.388, p<.01) and the indirect effect through the professional learning communities(β=.443, p<.01) were both significant. Third, it was found that professional learning communities partially mediated the distributed leadership and school organizational effectiveness. Through this study, it was confirmed that distributed leadership had a greater impact on school organizational effectiveness through professional learning communities. Therefore, in order to increase the effectiveness of school organization, various approaches such as creating an environment and preparing a institutional framework for teachers' cooperative activities are needed by activating professional learning communities based on distributed leadership.
