Abstract

This study focused on evaluating the educational leadership and global leadership skills of university faculty leaders at Al Albayt University, as perceived by the faculty members, with an aim to identify improvement areas. Employing a descriptive analytical approach, the study surveyed 180 randomly selected faculty members from a total population of 740. The research tool was a comprehensive questionnaire with 32 items, covering four key skill areas: educational leadership, global personality, cultural diversity, and technological skills. The findings revealed significant insights: Faculty leaders demonstrated a high degree of educational leadership, especially in decision-making, evidenced by an average score of 4.22. However, motivation skills showed relatively lower proficiency, with an average score of 3.33. In terms of global leadership skills, the scores varied between 4.10 to 4.70. The highest scores were observed in global personality skills (3.71), followed by medium scores in technological skills (3.54), while cultural diversity skills received the lowest scores. Overall, the importance of possessing global leadership skills among faculty members was emphasized, with particular focus on global personality and cultural diversity skills. Based on these findings, the study recommends the development of innovative training programs to enhance both educational and global leadership skills of faculty members and leaders, with a special focus on diversifying technological skills.
