Description
INTRODUCTION The intersection of leadership style and organizational practices reveals a great deal about how school superintendents attempt to influence their district's progress. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationships among superintendent leadership authenticity and the transparency, information processing, and staffing dynamics involved in budget-building processes. We surveyed public school district superintendents in six southeastern states concerning their leadership styles and the budget-building processes they employ in their administrations. While the literature surrounding leadership is voluminous, research about how school leaders create and implement processes leading to annual budget adoption is much more limited. Understanding the antecedents and consequences of these basic components of school operations is important because it will inform university preparation programs, practicing superintendents, school district professional development programs, and school board executive selection and evaluation practices.
