Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of leadership through an international lens that focuses on gender, leadership style, school climate, and job satisfaction. We considered a secondary data source collected through the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), administered in 2013; obtaining 1,531 responses. Descriptive, inferential and correlational analyses were performed according to items analysed and the research goals. Results show that: (i) distributed leadership is used more in Brazil and instructional leadership is used Singapore; (ii) distributed leadership is significantly higher in women than men; and (iii) both distributed and instructional leadership have a positive effect on school climate and on principals’ job satisfaction. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
