العلاقة بين المهارات القيادية و تقدير الذات لدى رؤساء الجامعات الأردنية

Abstract EN

This study aimed to find the relationship between leadership skills and self-esteem of the Jordanian universities presidents.

The sample of the study included all Jordanian universities presidents for the academic year (2011/2012) counting 30 presidents.

The researcher used the analytical descriptive approach to theoretical literature related to the two variables of the study, and developed two questionnaires to collect data : one to detect the degree of implementation of leadership skills, and the other to determine the selfesteem degree.

Findings revealed a high level in the implementation of these categories of leadership skills and high level in availability of self-esteem indicators.

There was no statistically significant difference due to specialty and type of the university.

Also, high positive correlation (p.

0.01) between the leadership skills and self-esteem was found.

The indicators of self-esteem may be used in choosing institutional leaders and developing strategies, tests to refine those skills, and enhancing the self concept.
