Abstract

The current research deals with the question of how teachers' perceptions of cultural values (long term orientation, collectivism, and uncertainty avoidance) affect principals' skills (strategic and interpersonal) and organizational affective commitment. Two hundred teachers from the Arab society in Israel participated in this study. Structural equation modeling showed that there is a relationship between interpersonal leadership skills and teachers' perceptions of the cultural dimension of collectivism. Furthermore, the dimension of long-term orientation was related to perceptions of strategic leadership skills. However, uncertainty avoidance and collectivism were not related to perception of teachers' strategic skills. Moreover, perceptions of strategic leaders' skills were correlated with organizational affective commitment. The study draws with the theoretical and practical implications.
