Abstract

Purpose

This study investigated the relationship between principals' abusive leadership and teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, exploring the potential moderating effects of the duration of the relationship and group size within educational settings.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from a sample of teachers in Bahrain, using self-report measures. The data were analyzed using regression analyses.

Findings

The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between principals' abusive leadership and teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. The results also show that the duration of the relationship moderates the correlation between abusive leadership and teachers' extrinsic motivation, with teachers who have been in longer relationships with their principals showing greater resistance to the detrimental effects of abusive leadership on their extrinsic motivation. Group size was found to moderate this correlation, with larger groups exhibiting stronger buffering against the negative effect of abusive leadership.

Originality/value

The findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of abusive leadership in educational settings and the potential moderating factors that can help alleviate its detrimental effects on teachers' motivations.

校长的辱骂式领导与教师的内在和外在动机：关系持续时间和群体规模的调节作用

目的本研究调查了校长滥用职权与教师内在和外在动机之间的关系，并探讨了教育环境中校长滥用职权与教师内在和外在动机之间关系的持续时间和群体规模的潜在调节作用。研究结果研究结果表明，校长的滥用性领导与教师的内在和外在动机之间存在显著的负相关关系。结果还显示，关系的持续时间调节了滥用型领导与教师外在动机之间的相关性，与校长关系持续时间较长的教师更能抵御滥用型领导对其外在动机的不利影响。研究结果对教育环境中滥用领导力的动态以及有助于减轻其对教师外在动机不利影响的潜在调节因素提供了有价值的见解。
