What affects peer interaction in universities? Examining the effects of paternalistic leadership and peer leadership on peer interaction of teachers

The results of the study revealed that a leader in the teacher team with higher PLD characteristics can result in better peer interaction (PI) among teachers. Specific recommendations are provided to address the potential challenges university faculty may face in PIs, particularly in areas they perceive as having a poorer experience. It should be kept in mind that the power formed by university teams cannot be ignored to accomplish important tasks at the university and this power promotes the effectiveness of the university.
