Director's leadership style and school climate in an educational establishment by implementing an external intervention program: Instrument validation

Abstract

The present article describes a study carried out in two stages. The first corresponds to a bibliographic review to identify the internal conditions of the educational establishments that affect the implementation and sustainability of the improvement processes proposed by a specialized advisory program for education. The second stage considers the construction and validation of an instrument that allows this information to be collected. It is a quantitative study that includes a modification of the data capacity that allows reducing the number of variables that describe a concept. The results provide variables that allow describing the director's leadership style and school climate in an educational establishment by implementing an external intervention program.
