Publications

• AL-Jabari, Basel A., The Influence of Effective Leadership on School Climate (March 26, 2014). Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2541105

This research project proposes to explore school leadership preparation influence on a positive school climate. Effective school leadership offers both great opportunities and challenges for many schools. Schools have a major impact on the growth, development and positive progress of student relationships. According to Balyer (2012), successful school leaders can set the tone to influence achievement amongst students, staff, and other school-related organizations. There is evidence that shows how outside of the influences in classroom instruction, school leadership can affect student learning (Dufour & Mattos, 2013). Studies suggest that leadership is a skill that requires a specific preparation to promote school reform and new performance outcomes (Hartly & Kecskemethy, 2008).

Attracting and retaining the best employees are major challenges to managers. Two factors for increasing employee retention are affective commitment (AC) and employee engagement (EE). This study investigated AC and EE on employee retention with 244 employees from the education, hospitality, media services, and technology industries. Results found AC and EE are positive predictors of employee retention. The effects of demographic characteristics found that an employee’s years of employment at his organization moderates the effect of AC and EE on retention. Recommendations are made to increase retention by promoting organizational citizenship, optimizing HR practices, supervisor support, and leadership style.
