Under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) for quality education, it is important to improve teachers’professional and innovative abilities. The adoption of positive leadership by principals can help cultivate teachers' professionalism and innovative teaching abilities. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive discussion on the relationship between principals’positive leadership, teachers' professional development, and innovative teaching. The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between principals’positive leadership, teachers’professional development and innovative teaching. Based on positive psychology theory, this study explores how principals’positive leadership promotes teachers' professional development and innovative teaching, as well as the mediating effect of teachers' professional development. The research subjects are teachers from public elementary schools in Pingtung County, Taiwan. Through questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis using SmartPLS, the results show that the measurement model of this study has good reliability and validity. The principals’positive leadership has a significant positive influence on teachers' professional development and innovative teaching; teachers' professional development has a significant positive influence on innovative teaching; and principals’positive leadership has an impact on innovative teaching through the mediating effect of teachers' professional development. The results of this study provide a reference basis for principals to emphasize the role of teachers' professional development when implementing positive leadership, in order to promote innovative teaching and sustainable education. |
