Liderazgo distribuido y sus patrones de distribución: asociación con la felicidad subjetiva en docentes de educación secundaria.
Resumen
El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la asociación entre el liderazgo distribuido, sus patrones de distribución y la felicidad subjetiva en docentes de educación secundaria. Se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa con alcance correlacional, diseño no experimental y corte transversal. Participaron 217 docentes de educación secundaria, quienes respondieron el Cuestionario Multidimensional de Distribución del Liderazgo y la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva. Se calcularon estadísticos descriptivos y correlaciones de Pearson. Los resultados mostraron que no existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el liderazgo distribuido, sus patrones de distribución y la felicidad subjetiva. Se concluye que la felicidad subjetiva constituye un constructo multidimensional cuya explicación trasciende las prácticas de liderazgo escolar, aportando evidencia sobre los alcances del liderazgo distribuido en el bienestar docente.
