Abstract

The purpose of this study was "Designing the Self-Leadership Model ‎of Education Managers in Guilan Province". The method of the ‎research in terms of the nature of the data was of a qualitative-‎quantitative type, in terms of the purpose of the applied type and in ‎terms of descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of this study ‎consisted of all heads and deputies (educational centers in the ‎counties) and school principals of 2300 people. The sample was ‎obtained using the Cochran formula (329). Data were random cluster ‎sampling. Data collection tool was a questionnaire from the qualitative ‎section, whose content validity was determined by experts and its ‎construct validity was obtained through confirmatory factor analysis ‎and its reliability through Cronbach's alpha test was more than 70%. ‎The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods ‎including mean, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics for ‎data analysis using structural equation technique using SPSS and ‎AMOS software. The results showed that self-leadership of education ‎managers was categorized into 8 indicators (self-awareness, self-‎guidance, self-monitoring, self-control, effectiveness, targeting, self-‎motivation and self-reflection) with the removal of some questions and ‎markers; the model was ultimately verified statistically.‎
