Abstract
This researcher has the following objectives: (1) to study the levels at which the factors are expressed and leadership (2) to study the relationship between these factors and the leadership (3) to study a causal structural relationship model of the factors and leadership and (4) to study the direct and indirect influences of factors exerting effects on the leadership of the educational administrator under the jurisdiction of municipalities. The sample size of 993 persons. The data collected were statistically analyzed in the frequency, percentage, means of standard deviation, simple correlation method and Path-analysis analysis. Furthermore, direct and indirect influences were determined by applying the linear structural relations (LISREL).
Findings are as follows: (1) The levels of factors and leadership were factors of historical background, factors of characteristics, Situational factors, behavioral factors and the leadership. (2) Factors showing correlations with the leadership in descending order were behaviors, situations, characteristics, and the historical background. (3) The causal structural relationship model of factors influencing the leadership exhibited congruence with empirical data at a good level. Accordingly, the model was explanatory of variance in respect to the variables governing the leadership at 74.00 percent. (4) Factors of situations, behaviors, the historical background, and characteristics exhibited direct influence on the leadership. It was also found that situational factors, characteristics, and the historical background evinced indirect influence on the leadership of the educational administrators.
