Abstract
In order to meet the requirements of current reforms, including student accomplishment, Secondary Resources School (SRS) directors must find effective leadership behaviors to boost teacher morale. This study addresses this essential need. The main purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of SRS school directors’ leadership behaviors towards teachers’ moral in Cambodia. The current study employed the qualitative method using the semi-structured interviews with 16 SRS teachers and 8 SRS school directors. Thematic analysis was used to conduct and analyze the semi-structured interviews. The leadership behaviours of the SRS school directors were better and more thoroughly understood as a result of the individual interviews. Seven themes emerged from the one-on-one interviews with the SRS school directors and teachers: (1) collaborative school culture; (2) supportive school climate; (3) teacher quality; (4) effective school leadership; (5) students involved in the learning process; (6) Cohesive curriculum; and (7) Supportive school climate. Every member of the school staff must provide an example of the attitudes and behaviours they want to see in others, including parents and children. Teachers, staff members, and school administrators must all continue to be aware of the significance of modelling for students and families in relation to the school's cultural values. School directors must set the example for modelling via their own everyday words and deeds. Relationship-building must continue to be the main focus of all school staff members’ roles within the school's culture. Teachers and staff need to look for ways to consciously cultivate relationships with parents, students, and other staff members. Teachers and staff can establish a connection with every member of the school community by attending and taking part in student events.
