Creative Leadership, Positive Behavior, Educational InstitutionAbstract
This paper aims at explaining the level at which a creative leadership can support positive behaviours in learning institutions. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, the relationships between the relevant dimensions and variables, namely, creative leadership, were explored in terms of a descriptive-analytical method. The sample population was supplied with 150 questionnaires. The hypotheses were then tested with the help of SPSS after the collation and statistical analysis of the data collected and the consistency of the answers of the respondents to the items in the questionnaire. The results help to support the validity of the research hypotheses, and hence illustrate that creative leadership will improve development of positive behaviour, a culture of change and will encourage individuals to be creative- which will eventually provide returns to both the personal and organisational performance.
