Abstract

        The study aims to investigate the reality of implementing agile leadership among female principals of private primary schools in Taif city, from the perspective of teachers, and to identify statistically significant differences, at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05, in the mean responses of the study sample regarding the degree of implementing agile leadership attributed to variables such as educational qualification and experience. The study utilized a descriptive survey methodology, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the study sample, which consisted of approximately 172 female teachers. The study findings revealed a high level of implementation of agile leadership, with speed ranking first, followed by responsiveness, flexibility, and agility in decision-making. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences, at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05, attributed to the variable of educational qualification in the overall tool and in each of its four dimensions. Similarly, no statistically significant differences, at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05, were found attributed to the variable of years of experience in the overall tool and in the dimensions of flexibility, responsiveness, and agility in decision-making. However, there were statistically significant differences, at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05, attributed to the variable of years of experience in the mean responses of the study sample regarding the dimension of speed, favoring the category of 5 to 10 years of experience
