چکیده

      این پژوهش با هدف بررسی رابطۀ بین سبک رهبری تحول‏آفرین با بهبود کیفیت آموزش عالی کشاورزی و در چارچوب کلی پژوهش­های توصیفی- پیمایشی انجام گرفت. جامعة آماری پژوهش شامل تمام اعضای هیئت‌‌علمی پردیس کشاورزی و منابع‌ طبیعی دانشگاه تهران (212 =N) است. با استفاده از فرمول کوکران، 122 نفر به روش طبقه‌ای تصادفی با انتساب متناسب انتخاب و با استفاده از ابزار پرسشنامه مطالعه شد. برای محاسبة سبک رهبری تحول‏آفرین و بهبود کیفیت آموزشی به‌ترتیب از مقیاس‏های استاندارد سبک رهبری چندعاملی (MLQ) و بهبود کیفیت آموزشی (AQIP) استفاده شد. مطابق یافته‌ها، بیشترین سطح سبک رهبری تحول‏آفرین، مربوط به سطح ضعیف (52 نفر، 6/42 درصد) بود. بین مؤلفه‌های رهبری تحول‌آفرین (رفتارهای آرمانی، ملاحظات فردی، ترغیب ذهنی و انگیزش الهام‌بخش) با متغیر بهبود کیفیت آموزشی در سطح معنی‌داری یک درصد رابطة مثبت و معنی­داری وجود داشت، اما بین متغیرهای سن، رتبة علمی و سابقة خدمت با متغیر بهبود کیفیت آموزشی رابطة معنی­داری مشاهده نشد. مطابق نتایج تحلیل رگرسیونی، از میان متغیرهای واردشده فقط متغیر انگیزش الهام‌بخش (686/0Beta= ) به‌عنوان متغیر‌ اثرگذار بر بهبود کیفیت آموزشی محسوب می‌شد.

چکیده [English]

This research was conducted to investigate relationship between transformational leadership style and academic quality improvement. The statistical population of the study consisted of all faculty members in College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (University of Tehran) (N= 212). Applying stratified proportional random sampling and Cochran formula, 122 faculty members were selected. Questionnaire was used for data collection. MLQ scale (Multi Factor Leadership Questionnaire) and AQIP scale respectively were used for measuring level of transformational leadership and academic quality improvement. According to findings, the highest level of transformational leadership was in level of weak (42.6% responses). Transformational leadership components (Idealized behavior, Individual Consideration, Intellectual Stimulation and Inspirational Motivation) had positive and significant relationship with academic quality improvement (P<0.01). Findings also revealed that age, scientific rank and academic experience were not significantly correlated with academic quality improvement. According to regression analysis, among variables entered into analysis, only variable of Inspirational Motivation (Beta= 0.686) was effective on academic quality improvement.
