Abstract

The effectiveness of school leadership can be linked to the extent to which school leaders have a positive impact on teacher variables such as teacher self-efficacy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the link between transformational and transactional school leadership, on the one hand, and teacher self-efficacy, on the other. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Cyprus for data collection. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Bandura’s Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale were completed by 683 secondary school teachers. A structural equation model was used to investigate the link between transformational/transactional leadership and teacher self-efficacy. The results show that transformational and transactional leadership can be combined in a second-order factor and that this factor is a strong predictor of teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Beyond their significance for educational policy, the findings point to the need for revisiting the conceptualisation and operationalisation framework associated with research on transformational leadership in education.
变革型和交易型学校领导作为教师自我效能感的预测因子
学校领导的有效性可以联系到学校领导对教师自我效能感等教师变量产生积极影响的程度。本文的目的是研究变革型和交易型学校领导与教师自我效能之间的联系。为收集数据,在塞浦路斯进行了问卷调查。对683名中学教师进行多因素领导问卷(MLQ)和班杜拉教师自我效能感量表的测试。采用结构方程模型研究了变革型/交易型领导与教师自我效能感之间的关系。结果表明,变革型领导和交易型领导可以结合为二阶因子,该因子是教师自我效能感信念的强预测因子。除了对教育政策的重要意义之外,研究结果还指出,需要重新审视与教育变革型领导力研究相关的概念化和操作化框架。
