Leadership, autonomy, and organizational trust as predictors of teacher wellbeing and job satisfaction: a cross-cultural study based on PISA 2022 data

Importantly, the varying magnitude of these effects across economies highlights the influence of systemic and contextual factors, suggesting that leadership interventions should be tailored to national and organizational contexts rather than applied uniformly across education systems.
