Self-management and its relationship to organizational agility from the point of view of secondary school principals

Abstract

The present study aims to delineate self-management within secondary school principals, as well as organizational agility within the same group, and to examine the correlational nexus between self-management and organizational agility among secondary school principals. This investigation is carried out within the administrative offices of secondary schools in the Education Directorate of Baghdad Governorate/Al-Rusafa during the academic period of 2023-2024. The sample for this study comprises 200 principals. In order to accomplish this, the investigator devises a self-management scale grounded in an 18-item model of self-management. Moreover, the researcher incorporates the organizational agility scale (Al-Dhubayani, 2020) comprising 22 items. The methodology employed is the descriptive correlational approach, and the validity of the scales is authenticated by subjecting them to scrutiny by a panel of experts. The reliability of the scales is further confirmed through the test-retest method. Data analysis is executed utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study unveils various findings, notably the presence of a positive correlational linkage between self-management and organizational agility among secondary school principals. Consequently, the researcher puts forth a series of recommendations and suggestions.
