Gender Differences in Participatory Leadership: An Examination of Principals' Time Spent Working with Others
Sebastian, James; Moon, Jeong-Mi
International Journal of Education Policy and Leadership, v12 n8 2017
The purpose of this study was to examine whether female principals have a more participatory style compared to their male counterparts by examining principals' daily time allocation patterns. The study analyzed data from End of Day (EOD) survey logs from principals in an urban school district in the United States. Results from hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) showed that female principals, when compared to male principals, spent a higher proportion of their time working with others in planning/setting goals. At the same time, there were no differences in how principals allocated their total time working alone or working with others and their time distribution in other leadership domains. The findings suggest that gender differences in leadership style depend on specific activity domains and that there are significant differences in the key domain of strategic planning.
