Abstract

This study is a descriptive-survey research, which is practical in terms of purpose and in terms of data type, it is quantitative and it was conducted to provide a model for improving and promoting spiritual leadership in the management of elementary schools in the city. The statistical population of this research includes all elementary school teachers in Tehran-which according to the statistics of the academic year 95-96, there are 15103 students (14520 women and 583 men). Initially, using Morgan table, the number of samples was 375. Then, using a mixed sampling method, stratified sampling method was used to determine the number of samples per gender (360 females and 15 males) and cluster sampling method is used to determine the samples. First, the city of Tehran was divided into five sections (north, south, east, west and center) and one educational district (zones 2, 19, 4, 9 and 6) was randomly selected. Finally, 10 schools were selected from each region and questionnaires were distributed among the samples. The second statistical population was management and education experts in which 10 people were selected by purposeful sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher in two questions (one question, individual dimension of spiritual leadership, and the next one, organizational dimension) that questions the current status and desirable status of spiritual leadership. The questionnaire was designed based on a grading scale with ten points. Finally, using the components derived from the theoretical studies of the study, 34 items were prepared for the first question and 23 items for the second question and a total of 57 items. Delphi technique and related questionnaire (open and prioritizing) were used to achieve the mechanisms for promoting spiritual leadership in Tehran elementary school management. To assess the validity of the questionnaire, at first content and face validity were determined based on expert judgment and a comprehensive review of the research literature. The questionnaire was administered to 30 elementary school teachers in district 3 of Tehran city, And through the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was 0. 85. In order to analyze the data in the qualitative section, Delphi and coding techniques were reused and in the quantitative section, the percentage, mean and standard deviation were used descriptively. and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of the test data. But in the inferential method through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, paired and single sample t-test and structural equation modeling were performed. The research findings show: In the virtue component, the trust index had the highest rate (0. 922) and the hypocrisy index had the lowest rate (0. 610), in the faith component, the solace rate had the highest rate (0. 824). and the index of harmony and integration was the lowest (. 589). In the component of organizational commitment, the highest value was related to the school intimate atmosphere index (0. 738) and the lowest was related to the system of reward system in the school (0. 551). and, in terms of meaningfulness (job attractiveness), the highest value was related to the teacher job honor index (0. 759) and the lowest value was related to the performance evaluation index (0. 52). According to the research results, In order of importance four components of faith (including 19 indexes), organizational commitment (including 10 indexes), meaningfulness (including 6 indexes) and piety (including 19 indexes) were identified and approved which had a good goodness. The findings of the study generally indicate the discrepancy between the status quo and desirable spiritual leadership components in primary school management. With 99% confidence, we can say that there is a significant difference between the status quo and desirable status of the mentioned components, and considering the positive value of the mean in all the components, it can be concluded that the mean of status quo of all the components is lower than the desirable status In other words, the optimal situation for all four components was higher than the existing situation. Research findings also show that executive mechanisms can be used to promote spiritual leadership in elementary school management, In order of priority are: Component of Faith: 1. Modify the guidelines for appointing school principals based on the characteristics of spirituality-based management 2-Involvement of teachers, parents and students in the administration of school affairs 3.
