บทคัดย่อ

This study examines the perceptions of leadership effectiveness within Chinese educational institutions, with a focus on the influence of gender and age. It was found that women in leadership roles often faced skepticism regarding their capabilities and were expected to conform to traditionally masculine leadership styles. However, the research revealed that women rated leadership as more effective than men did, particularly in the 46-55 age group. The study utilized a two-way ANOVA to analyze these perceptions and highlighted the need for professional development opportunities to support women's advancement in leadership roles. The findings underscore the importance of recognizing and fostering diverse leadership styles in educational settings.
