THE LEADERSHIP ROLE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS WITHIN THE GREEN LINE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE JOB CREATIVITY AMONG TEACHERS

Abstract

From the viewpoints of the principals and teachers, the study sought to determine the leadership role of secondary school principals inside the green line and its connection to teachers' job creativity. The study sample, which included 258 principals and instructors selected by simple random sampling, was based on the descriptive correlative technique. Two questionnaires made up the data collection tools. The first one, which had forty-three items divided into five dimensions—administrative tasks, teachers, the educational process, the positive school climate, and the local community—was designed to gauge the degree of leadership role that secondary school principals in the Green Line practiced from the viewpoints of the principals and teachers. The second questionnaire, which included 23 items divided into four dimensions—sensitivity to problems, fluency, flexibility, and acceptance of risk—was designed to gauge the degree of job creativity among secondary school teachers in the green line from the viewpoints of principals and teachers. The validity and reliability of the two questionnaires were confirmed before they were used.

The findings showed that, from the viewpoints of the principals and teachers, the leadership role that secondary school principals in the Green Line practiced was at a medium level. Additionally, there were no statistically significant differences in the leadership role that secondary school principals in the Green Line practiced based on the variables of gender, academic qualification, experience, and job title.

Additionally, the results showed that secondary school teachers within the green line had a medium level of job creativity, that there were statistically significant differences favoring teachers due to the job title variable, and that there were no statistically significant differences due to the variables (gender, academic qualification, and experience). Additionally, the findings showed a favorable and statistically significant relationship between the degree of job creativity among teachers at those schools and the leadership role that secondary school principals within the green line performed.

According to the study, principals should be encouraged to establish a healthy school environment because it can boost teachers' creativity and ease their workload. They should also use technology in schools because it can help with tasks, boost teachers' creativity, and improve their performance.
