Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to illustrate that school size a moderator can effect on the relationship among principal’s leadership style (PLS), principal's decision making style (PDMS), and teacher job satisfaction (TJS). Moreover, in this article, some hypotheses have been proposed to verify the existing relations among TJS, PLS, and PDMS. Based on samples randomly chosen from primary, secondary and high schools in Chinese educational systems in China, the required data are gathered through a mail survey, and the proposed hypotheses are tested via moderation analysis and structural equation modeling.
