Abstract

The style of school leadership greatly affects the positive climate and atmosphere
between school employees, which in turn affects the efficiency in the implementation of
organizational goals and the ways that contribute to their achievement. In this paper we will examine
the role of the principal in the management of human resources and school leadership style as a
requirement for a work environment in which everyone contributes.
Many management theorists emphasize the human side of the organization (school), the
relationships between employees at all levels, how individuals and groups react and act in the
organization, the nature of informal ties between employees, etc.
The participative management system, one of the systems established by Likert, contributes to
the establishment of a democratic style of school management, which offers the potential to
overcome the weaknesses that tend to develop in other systems (primarily authoritative ones).
A democratic school leader ensures that all members of the school community are involved in
the decision-making process – but participation will vary, depending on the context. Leadership and
responsibility are shared, and frequently there are leaders of subgroups, as well as decentralization
of authority. Such school culture, with an open and friendly atmosphere, contributes to teachers and
professional associates being more motivated and dedicated, formal and informal communication will
develop, and the school will achieve higher academic results.
Key words: participative system, democratic school leader, styles of school leadership.
