Distributed Leadership of Principals and Teacher Organizational Commitment- Scoping Review

In the modern world, distributed leadership has emerged as a fresh kind of educational leadership. Many eminent researchers have made substantial contributions to its developments. However, its effectiveness has not drawn much attention. Thus, the primary goal of this paper is to conduct a distributed viewpoint analysis of the available data about the influence of a principal's leadership style on teachers' organizational commitment. Databases searched included the Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases. However, its usefulness has not received much attention. The ideas of distributed leadership practices, the principal's role, and teachers’ organizational commitment were all carefully considered. The findings of this paper demonstrate the importance of school leadership and the positive and indirect benefits that distributed leadership has on teachers’ organizational commitment. However, there is a need for more research because there is an absence of widely recognized patterns and best practices for distributed leadership as well as inadequate empirical evidence. The school leader's position in distributed leadership and its best practices should be acknowledged by academics, policy makers, and practitioners based on the evidence that is currently available.
