| description | 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. |

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.This study examines the influence of transformational leadership on teacher job satisfaction and retention in American schools in Sharjah by using a mixed-methods research methodology to capture both broad statistical patterns and detailed qualitative insights. A survey examining 29 teachers' opinions of transformational leadership methods, work satisfaction, and retention intentions was conducted in a variety of American schools in Sharjah as part of the quantitative component. Semi-structured interviews with school leaders, namely an academic head, vice-principal, and principal, were used for the qualitative component to learn more about their opinions on transformational leadership techniques and how they affect teachers. Key elements like emotional support, opportunities for professional development, and ethical leadership emerged as significant predictors of retention, and the quantitative data showed a strong positive correlation between transformational leadership practices and teacher job satisfaction. In addition, the qualitative data highlighted particular leadership behaviours that were thought to be crucial for creating a happy work environment and lowering turnover intentions. Collectively, these results highlight how important transformational leadership is in fostering welcoming, encouraging, and inspiring school environments that raise teacher commitment and satisfaction. This study adds to a better understanding of leadership dynamics in various educational settings by placing leadership strategies within the distinctive organisational and cultural context of Sharjah. It also provides useful suggestions for promoting teacher retention and job satisfaction.The British University in DubaiDr Emad, Abu Ayyash2026-01-10T14:01:30Z2024-11Dissertationapplication/pdf22001536https://bspace.buid.ac.ae/handle/1234/3379enoai:bspace.buid.ac.ae:1234/33792026-01-10T14:02:07Z |
