“…Evidence related to this effect ranges from no significant correlation to positive correlation between this style and some dependent variables. Initially, Al‐Omari () sampled 108 school principals (60 male and 48 female) in Jordan and revealed that no significant correlation exists between decision‐making styles and leadership styles of school principals. ‘Directive decision‐making style’ was predominant among school principals, with mean score 60.37 ( SD = 31.82).…”

As most of the scholarship about educational leadership and management refers to developed countries, our aim in this review is to systematically collect, document, scrutinise and critically analyse at time of writing date research on educational leadership in Arab countries and to identify the key strengths and weaknesses in the research literature. Based on a systematic review of 48 articles, it was found that the vast majority of research on Arab educational leadership focused on either identifying patterns of leadership styles and orientations and the barriers faced by educational leaders in applying some of the leadership models originated in Western scholarship, or on exploring and examining leaders’ managerial perceptions and practices both in times of routine and reforms. Our analysis identified several theoretical, conceptual and methodological limitations contributing to and, in many cases, impeding researchers’ ability to predict or explain the nature of Arab educational leadership.

“…[56] Besides, Al-Omari (2013) found that the directive decision making style was mostly dominant among participants, followed by analytical, behavioral and conceptual. [57] Moreover, changing students' style is not an easy task, it needs adequate or long time to affect the style and change it. In addition, this finding may be unlikely to happen due to the fact that the duration of this study applying PBL was too short, or the measurement of its effects on students' styles was measured in a very short timeframe.…”

Decision making skill is deemed to be a key feature of the nurse's role in today's health care organizations. Thus, educators should use innovative teaching strategies that grow students' competence in problem-solving and decision making skills like problem-based learning (PBL). The aim of this study is to determine the effect of problem-based learning on nursing students' decision making skills and styles. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. The sample consisted of 84 students from the fourth year in the Faculty of Nursing, Minia University. Two tools were used: Nursing Students' Decision Making Skills Scale and Nursing Students' Decision Making Style. This study revealed that the mean scores of decision making skills in the study group students increased before and after applying PBL (before: 71 + 8.5, after: 116.3 + 10.4) with a statistical significant difference (p = .001). There was no statistical significant differences between the study and control groups (p = 1.000) before intervention. The most dominant decision-making style among the study and control groups in relation to before and after applying PBL was a behavioral decision style with no statistical significant differences. This study concluded that using PBL has a curial role in developing and improving nursing students' decision making skills; however, it has no effect on decision-making style.
