Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which Leithwood and Jantzi's transformational leadership model is being practiced by school principals as identified by their teachers in Albalqa Governorate. The sample for this study included 340 teachers selected randomly. Results indicated that transformational leadership is being moderately practiced by principals. Moreover, female teachers and basic school teachers identified their principals as transformational more than principals of male teachers and high school teachers did. Similarly, new hiring teachers and mid career teachers identified their principals as transformational more than veteran teachers did.
