Abstract

This study investigated the management challenges that Christian early childhood leaders, from four different Christian denominations, encountered in their responsibilities, and in particular, the approaches they used in resolving them. A research design of grounded theory using data collected from survey questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis enabled themes to emerge. A Christian worldview underpinned and framed the leaders’ thoughts, actions, communication, and relationships with students, staff, parents, and the community. For these leaders, their close, reciprocal connection with God sustained, guided and even at times impelled their approach to their daily practice and especially in managing challenges.

基督教幼儿领袖:管理的挑战与回应
本研究调查了来自四个不同基督教教派的基督教幼儿领袖在他们的职责中遇到的管理挑战,特别是他们解决这些挑战的方法。基于理论的研究设计使用从调查问卷、半结构化访谈和文件分析中收集的数据,使主题得以出现。基督教的世界观支撑和框框了领导者的思想、行动、沟通以及与学生、员工、家长和社区的关系。对于这些领导者来说,他们与上帝的密切、互惠的联系维持、指导甚至有时推动着他们的日常实践,特别是在应对挑战方面。
