Incidencia del liderazgo directivo en la cultura organizacional y su influencia en el desarrollo profesional docente y administrativo en una institución educativa

Abstract

Abstract: The study aimed to determine the impact of leadership on organizational culture and its influence on the professional development of teaching and administrative staff at the Jambelí Educational Unit. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed, including twelve participants, administrators and teachers, through semi-structured interviews. This allowed for an understanding of their experiences and perceptions regarding the institution's dynamics. The results showed a clear predominance of transformational and democratic leadership, characterized by support, collaborative perspectives, and open and transparent communication among participants. Therefore, the processes that enrich teachers' professional development institutional recognition, ongoing training, and evaluations designed for feedback were all mediated by this culture. Participants agreed on the positive impact on motivation, commitment, and openness to change, despite challenges related to workload, rigid regulations, and limited resources. The findings confirm leadership as a strategic factor for strengthening institutional culture and promoting sustainable professional growth.
