Abstract EN

The current study attempted to explore the nature of the relationship between transformational leadership of heads of departments in the 18 colleges of AlQadisiyah University and the self-efficacy of faculty members.

The study adopted the analytical descriptive method to analyze the data obtained through the questionnaire distributed to 287 of teaching staff working in the university colleges.

It has been dealt with transformational leadership with its four dimensions (idealization influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration) as an independent variable, and self-efficacy was then treated as a dependent one-dimensional variable.

The results of the study resulted in a number of conclusions, the most important of which is the existence of significant influence relationships for the dimensions of transformational leadership in the self-efficacy of the faculty members, in the sense that the university leaders who have a high level of transformational leadership skills can predict the existence of a high level of self-efficacy of faculty members in their various departments.

The study also presented a number of recommendations, including the focus of department heads on practices that promote the self-efficacy beliefs of faculty members, whether in terms of intellectual motivation, idealization influence, inspirational motivation or individual consideration, and to develop the leadership skills of the teaching staff nominated for positions of leadership in how to deal in the changing environment with its own requirements, whether related to the activities of teaching and learning on one hand or those associated with research and development activities through the establishment of specialized training courses in this field, both inside Iraq and abroad.
