The focus of this article is on grounded theory, a research methodology tradition that is assumed to be relevant and valuable to the possibilities of transf…
A Grounded Theory Perspective on Leadership in Multicultural Schools
The methodology of grounded theory has great potential to contribute to our understanding of leadership within particular substantive contexts. Leadership is a global phenomenon, but appears to have a variety of attributes and seems to elude clear definition. In this research we argue that such variation is contextually derived. Leadership is not only a socially influenced process but also a relation-influenced process that occurs within a social…
