MANAGEMENT MODELS AND SCHOOL LEADERSHIP

The researchers in the pre-university education system are highly interested in identification of a leadership model which should contribute to streamlining school organizations. The article introduces a synopsis of the six school management models (formal model, collegial model, political model, subjective model, ambiguity model and cultural model) and their relating leadership models (managerial, transformational, transactional, emotional, circumstantial and moral). The leadership models reflect the special characteristics of the management models. In school organizations, management relies on the power functions, whereas leadership is based on the conscious influence process and the interactions between the members. The dimension of leadership in schools includes vision, values and transformational aspects which focus on the human resource.
