Abstract

Education research is mostly focused on school effectiveness. The majority of the study in this field has been on school effectiveness in terms of academic success and leadership. This research aims to examine the link between school leadership and school effectiveness. Only journal papers from SCOPUS were used in this conceptual and content-related analysis were examined. A number of important themes arose from the content analysis, which led to more conclusive conclusions that highlighted the importance of leadership styles and school defects in the creation of exceptional schools. The smooth operation of the school depends on the principal's leadership style.
