| الملخص: | This study explores how transformational leadership affects teacher job satisfaction and retention in American schools in Sharjah using a mixed-methods approach. A survey of 29 teachers measured perceptions of leadership practices, satisfaction, and retention intentions, while semi-structured interviews with an academic head, vice-principal, and principal provided deeper insights. Results showed that emotional support, professional development opportunities, and ethical leadership strongly predicted teacher retention. Quantitative data revealed a positive correlation between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, while qualitative findings highlighted leadership behaviors—such as individualized support and clear communication—that foster positive work environments and reduce turnover. By situating these findings within Sharjah’s unique cultural and organizational context, the study deepens understanding of leadership dynamics in international schools and offers practical strategies to enhance teacher satisfaction and retention. |
