Description
This study explores the relationship among leadership style, school work culture,
and student achievement in Catholic elementary schools. The relationships (a) between
the leader style and student achievement, (b) between the school's work culture and
student achievement, and (c) among leaders' styles, school work culture, student
achievement and contextual factors were explored. A descriptive design, primarily
quantitative and correlational in nature, was employed. It was concluded that school leadership had an indirect effect on student
achievement in parochial schools in Florida. Furthermore, school work culture (school
planning, program development, staff development, and assessment) directly impacted
student achievement. The contextual variables of socioeconomic status and school size
combined did not moderate the relationship among leadership style, school work culture
and fourth-grade students' reading achievement scores.
