Exploring the Impact of Transformational School Leadership on Teacher Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of transformational school leadership on teacher job satisfaction. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study aims to identify the extent to which transformational leadership practices implemented by school principals contribute to teacher job satisfaction and retention. The study will involve conducting surveys and focus group interviews with teachers in schools led by transformational school leaders. Quantitative analysis will be conducted on the survey data to identify correlations between transformational leadership practices and teacher job satisfaction. Qualitative data collected from the focus group interviews will be analyzed to provide more in-depth insights into the experiences and perspectives of teachers. The study is expected to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between transformational school leadership and teacher job satisfaction. The results may inform the development of evidence-based practices for school principals to enhance teacher job satisfaction and retention, which can ultimately lead to improved student outcomes.
