Leadership theory and educational outcomes : The case of distributed and transformational leadership
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of school leadership on educational outcomes has been widely debated in recent decades. Only a small fraction of available studies on school leadership deal with its effects on specific educational outcomes. The paper aims to provide an overview of research on the effects of two contemporary leadership theories (distributed leadership and transformational leadership) on educational outcomes. The theoretical basis for each theory is discussed, with reference to different approaches to the conceptualisation of distributed and transformational perspectives in the literature. Moreover, the paper attempts to analyse the main limitations of the two theories and to assess their contribution to the investigation of the effects of leadership on educational outcomes. The overview of evidence on the effects of distributed and transformational leadership is used as the basis for suggestions and recommendations in relation to future research.
