The Mediating Role of Positive Psychological Capital in the Relationship between Transformational Leadership Approaches and Innovation Management Competence of School Administrators

This study investigates the effect of transformational leadership characteristics of school administrators on innovation management competence and examines the mediating role of positive psychological capital in this relationship. The research was carried out with the participation of 356 teachers working in official primary and secondary schools in the Bayraklı and Karsiyaka districts of Izmir in the 2017-2018 academic year. The Principals' Leadership Styles Scale, the Innovation Management Scale in Schools, and the Positive Psychological Capital Scale were used to collect data. A path analysis was created with the research model being tested with structural equation modeling; the effects of the study's independent variable and mediator variable on the dependent variable were determined. As a result of structural equation modeling, it has been seen that positive psychological capital has a mediating effect between transformational leadership and innovation management. The model that reviews the relationship between positive psychological capital, innovation management, and transformational leadership has given a meaningful and accurate result.
