Annotation

The current study examined the relationships between different leadership

styles and decision-making styles in principals of public schools. Three

research questions were created to guide the research. Does any particular

leadership style dominate among school principals? Does any particular

decision making style dominate among principals? Is there is a correlation

between decision making styles and leadership style among school principals

in this study? The study consisted of 150 principals from a Jordanian School

District. Out of the 150, 108 actually returned the questionnaires, and these

included 48 females and 60 males. The results of the study conclude that no

relationship exists between the decision making style and leadership style of

principals. Constituency-Centered Administration was dominant among

principals, and directive decision making style was dominant among

principals. Moving forward, it would be a good idea to narrow the study by

putting a limit on the number of participants included in the study
