Abstract

An interview study concerns the principals’ perceptions of their leadership styles was conducted with six Druze principals in Junior High schools in Northern Israel. Parallel to the interviews the OCAI questionnaire was distributed to the teachers, employees and principals to find out the organizational culture in the schools. The results of the OCAI questionnaires show that the clan culture is the most dominant one, the market culture is the second and the adhocracy culture is the third. The results of the interviews show that the principals' most dominant leadership style is the transformational leadership style with the use of the transactional leadership style in small proportions. The principals perceive the schools as big families; people help and support each other which express the clan culture. The principals use give and take equation which expresses the market culture. The principals encourage competitions which expresses the adhocracy culture. This shows similarities in the results of both the interviews and the OCAI questionnaires. The intended contribution of the research is to raise the awareness of the principal and the teachers to the principals' leadership styles and to the organizational culture, and to think of ways to improve them. That can lead to better teachers' motivation and student achievement. The intended contribution of this research to the science is to give more evidence to the correlation between the organizational culture and the leadership styles where one can be predicted by the other.
