Principals lack of education on their leadership role

A qualitative approach within the interpretivist paradigm was employed using a case study research design. A situational leadership theory was used as a lens through which to guide this study. Nine principals from nine secondary schools in the uMngungundlovu district were purposively sampled. Data was collected from participants using semi-structured interviews. The data analysis for this study followed Creswell’s six steps of data analysis.

本研究采用诠释论范式下的定性研究方法，并运用情境领导理论作为指导研究的视角。通过对uMngungundlovu地区九所中学的九位校长进行有意识地抽样，收集了参与者的半结构化访谈数据。本研究的资料分析遵循了Creswell提出的六步数据分析法。
