Abstract

The study aimed to identify the degree of practicing proactive leadership by school principals in the Northwestern Badia Directorate of Education and its relationship to achieving organizational pride among teachers and the impact of the variables of gender, educational qualification, and years of experience, from the teachers’ perceptions. The sample of the study consisted of (456) teachers who were chosen by simple random sampling technique. The correlational descriptive approach was employed, and a questionnaire was used as the data collection instrument. The study concluded with several key findings, most notably were: the degree of proactive leadership practiced by school principals in the Northeast Badia Education Directorate, as perceived by teachers, was moderate, and the degree of organizational pride achieved by teachers was also moderate. The results indicated statistically significant differences attributable to gender and educational qualification in all areas of proactive leadership, as well as in achieving organizational pride. No statistically significant differences were found attributable to years of experience in either proactive leadership or organizational pride. Furthermore, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the areas of proactive leadership practice and organizational pride achieved by teachers
