Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of gender on the authentic leadership behaviors of school administrators by using the meta-analysis method. In the research, 13 postgraduate theses, which were included in the database of the National Thesis Center system of the Council of Higher Education between 2013 and 2023, on the authentic leadership of school administrators and selected according to certain criteria, were used. The sample of the research consists of 6257 teachers and school administrators, 3652 female and 2605 male, obtained from postgraduate theses. As a result of the meta-analysis for the analysis of the data, the effect size of gender on the perceived authentic leadership behaviors of school administrators was calculated as -0.034. The effect sizes for relational transparency, internalized moral perspective, balanced processing, and self-awareness, which are the factors of authentic leadership, were found to be -0.054, -0.040, -0.023, and -0.051, respectively. According to the findings, the effect of gender on the perceived authentic leadership of school administrators is insignificant.
