Análise das práticas de liderança escolar e sua influência na motivação dos professores: um estudo de caso da Escola Franciscana Hospitaleira (2022-2024)

Abstract

This study analyzes the leadership practices exercised by school administrators and their influence on the motivation of teachers at the Franciscan Hospitaller School. To this end, the research adopted a mixed methodological approach, combining qualitative and quantitative elements. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires applied to 15 teachers and semi-structured interviews directed at the school administrators. The selection of participants followed a non-probabilistic, intentional sample, based on the accessibility and relevance of the subjects to the purpose of the study. The quantitative data were organized and processed using Microsoft Excel, using tabulation and descriptive analysis procedures. The qualitative data from the interview were processed using content analysis techniques. The results revealed that the leadership exercised in the school under study is predominantly characterized by traits of democratic leadership. Most participants recognize that the school administrator values ​​the opinion of teachers to some extent and promotes participation in decision-making processes. Regarding the factors that influence the motivation of teachers, it can be seen that there is a positive trend resulting from the combination of some favorable factors and others that need strengthening. It was also found that the mechanisms of recognition and appreciation are not sufficiently consistent or comprehensive to reach all teachers equitably. On the other hand, the lack of open and regular communication tends to generate distance between the management and the teachers.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
