A Leader's Emotional Self-Control and Management of Others Impacts a School's Climate
Anderson, Chris James
Journal of Invitational Theory and Practice, v25 p39-57 2019
A quantitative study with a correlational design, analyzed responses from a target population of more than 200 teachers employed in over four dozen urban and suburban schools in the New York metropolitan area. A sample of 42 teachers completed the "Inviting School Survey-Revised and the Genos 360 EI Assessment-Concise Rater." Subsequent simple linear regression procedures found Emotional Self-Control [beta = 0.486, t(74) = 2.016, p = 0.052] and Emotional Management of Others [beta = 0.494, t(74) = 2.310, p = 0.027] predict a strong relationship in the positive direction between four of the five "Inviting School Survey--Revised" (ISS-R) domains of school climate. Analysis of the leaders' demonstrated Emotional Self-Awareness [beta = - 0.172, t(74) = -0.816, p = 0.420] results identified a strong relationship in the negative direction between all five ISS-R dimensions of school climate. Implications suggest educational leaders seeking to improve school climate should develop and demonstrate emotional intelligence skills and tenets of Invitational Education theory.
