校长积极领导力何以重要?——论其在学校背景与学生成绩之间的中介效应

Why the Principal Positive Leadership is Important:The Mediating Effect of Principal Positive Leadership on School Context and Student Achievement

“缺陷弥补”的教育治理范式带来了诸多问题,“优势发展”范式下的校长积极领导力有助于塑造学校发展新动能。目前对校长积极领导力的效能研究尚不多见,且已有研究暂未将学校背景作为前因变量纳入模型进行系统化探讨。本研究利用省域大规模调查数据,构建结构方程模型,探究学校背景、校长积极领导力对学生成绩的影响机制。研究发现:校长积极领导力作为结构性潜变量,对学生成绩产生显著正向影响;且在学校背景对学生成绩产生影响的过程中具有显著的中介效应;学校办学自主权类型不同,校长积极领导力的影响机制也有所差异。建议教育管理部门应强调校长积极领导力的重要性,提升校长的情境智力,构建家校协同育人支持系统,有效保障学校自主办学空间。

Education governance under the“deficit remediation”has caused many problems in school education,while the principal positive leadership under the“advantage development”paradigm helps to shape the new momentum of school development.However,there are few studies on the effectiveness of principal positive leadership,and have not been systematically studied in the pre-dependent variable of school contexts.Therefore,this study used provincial large-scale survey data to construct a structural equation model and explore the influence of school contexts and principal positive leadership on student achievement.The findings showed that school contexts have significant positive influences on principal positive leadership.Besides,principal positive leadership,as a structural latent variable,has a significant positive impact on student achievement.In addition,the principal positive leadership has significant mediating effects when considering the influence from school contexts to the student achievement.Finally,the influence mechanism of positive leadership varies according to types of school autonomy.Therefore,it is argued that educational administrative departments and principals should recognize and pay attention to the important role of principal positive leadership in school improvement,enhance the principal’s contextual intelligence,build a“home-school collaborative education”support system,and ensure the school’s self-management space.
