The study empirically investigates the relationships among principals' positive leadership, appreciative inquiry, and teachers' hopes. The survey targets are elementary school educators from all over Taiwan. The study issued 886 questionnaires in total, with a return rate of 64.1%, of which 568 questionnaires were valid. Teachers were asked to measure the effectiveness of positive leadership, appreciative inquiry, and teachers' hope. This study used structural equation modeling with prospective data to test for model fit. The findings indicate that principals' positive leadership positively affects appreciative inquiry. Furthermore, appreciative inquiry affects teachers' hope. Principals' positive leadership also positively influences the hopes of their teachers. The results suggest that principals should implement positive leadership to accelerate appreciative inquiry in school operations in order to improve overall teachers' hope. |
